In this article, I'm going to give you my top 5 large diaphragm condenser microphones you can buy new, today for Less than £250. All prices listed are currently available to UK buyers in July 2018 from the same online retailer. Some of the mics listed are considerably cheaper than £250 and some just a tiny bit over, but not by enough to knock them out of our list. Over the years we at Production Expert have either reviewed or used all of these mics in some way, shape or form which has helped inform our choice for this list.
