Prodipe ST1 Ludovic Studio Condenser Microphone

In a home studio or professional recording space, the Prodipe ST1 Ludovic captures vocals and acoustic instruments with remarkable clarity. This large-diaphragm condenser microphone is engineered for singers, podcasters, and instrumentalists who demand detailed, transparent sound. Its cardioid polar pattern focuses on the source while rejecting off-axis noise, making it ideal for untreated rooms. The microphone requires 48V phantom power and connects via a standard XLR cable. A complete accessory kit—shockmount, pop filter, XLR cable, and hard case—ensures you can start recording immediately. The rugged metal body in black and silver withstands daily use, while the included shockmount reduces mechanical vibrations. Whether you are tracking a vocal performance, capturing an acoustic guitar, or recording a podcast, the ST1 Ludovic delivers professional results at an accessible price.

Good to know

The microphone requires an audio interface or mixer with 48V phantom power—not included. The XLR cable provided is 3 meters long, giving you flexibility in placement. The shockmount fits standard microphone stands with 5/8" threads. For best results, use a pop filter (included) when recording vocals at close range. The microphone's output is balanced, reducing hum and interference over long cable runs. The hard case includes custom foam cutouts for the microphone, shockmount, and accessories, keeping everything organized.
