You can get the Nady Starpower-1 mic by itself for a really low price:

But you can also get a kit that includes the Nady SP-1 mic, an on-stage mic stand, and XLR cable:

    For our studio, we bought this 3-pack of Behringer microphones, so it’s a little more than the kit price, but it comes with 3 mics, so it’s about the same individually.

      About $13 per mic isn’t bad at all! How do you like the quality you get out of these mics?

    I’m really happy with my Nady mic. I want to update most of my other gear, but the mic is perfectly fine as is.

      That’s exactly why I encourage modular hardware. You can upgrade your mixer and not have to throw away your mic!

    Purchased two of these after mistakenly buying a couple of condenser mics and not being able to figure out why they were so stinking sensitive. Thanks for the recommendation.

      How to you like the Nady mics compared with your former condenser mics?

    Thinking about doing this kit and a behringer 802 for about $50. I understand that I may have to upgrade mixers later, but do you think this is an ok start? Trying to keep a budget, but I did a podcast for a wile with a Logitech headset and a snowball, and I don’t want to go that route again when I get back into it.

      Yes, that’s definitely a good, modular route. But I also recommend that you look at the Audio-Technica ATR2100. It’s USB so you can plug straight into your computer without a mixer. And it’s also XLR so you can plug it into a mixer.

        Thanks! I just picked up the ATR and a mixer. Should be here Tuesday!!
