Fet Condenser Mic

Is this a good condenser mic?

Q: http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/product/Sterling-Audio-ST51-Large-Diaphragm-FET-Condenser-Mic?sku=271090

I’m hoping to find a good condenser mic for rapping, and it give me a good clear vocals for dark tracks.

A: Woww. That looks really good. Buy, Buy, Buy. It’s such a great deal.

And it’s black! Looks sleek. Looks fit to rap on.
(mine’s light blue. and I paid 165.)

oooo. IMPORTANT:
(in the middle of the web-page)
“”Optional SM-4 shockmount available (not included)”"
Buy that!!
If the one they want you to buy looks like this?:

Then I suggest you look into buying a different one. It really doesn’t matter, but I like the way mine looks. I think it looks cooler. You know?

I think they all have the same screw/fastening on the bottom that attatches to the mic. But make sure before taking any of my (unsourcable) advice..

Sterling Audio St59 Multi-Pattern Fet Condenser Mic $299.99

Sterling Audio St59 Multi-Pattern Fet Condenser Mic

The Sterling Audio ST59 is an FET condenser microphone that employs a large capsule with a dual sided ultrathin 3-micron evaporated gold Mylar diaphragm. The ST59 mic is built with an exclusive process that extends high frequencies and improves details and depth on both vocal and instrument recordings. The FET Class-A electronics provide smooth, warm sound. The ST59 offers switch-selectable cardioid, omni-directional, figure-eight polar patterns and is housed in a rugged brass body. Sterling Audio microphones employ several advanced technologies that separate their large-diaphragm condenser mics from the rest of the pack. One of the more important advances is their Disk Resonator system. With it, Sterling Audio is uniquely able to compensate for the 14kHz frequency roll-off that is inherent in large diaphragm mics. As any good audio engineer knows, this deficiency translates to a lack of sparkle from high-frequency sound sources. Other manufacturers have typically solved this problem by cutting other frequencies and then increasing the entire signal to help even out the frequency range. Unfortunately, this results in increased noise. Disk Resonator Technology incorporates a brass umbrella that protrudes from the center of the diaphragm in Sterling Audio’s ST59 microphone. It gently boosts the diaphragm sensitivity to shorter sound waves, allowing it to respond more accurately to those all-important higher frequencies. The result is optimal sensitivity, full frequency response, and a low signal-to-noise ratio. Another piece of audio wizardry comes in the form of the ultra-thin diaphragm membrane made of Mylar. While most modern condenser diaphragms are 6 to 12 microns in thickness, Sterling Audio, in association with 3M, has produced a highly resilient Mylar that measures a mere 3 microns. This allows the ST59 microphone to deliver an extraordinary degree of sensitivity. Requires phantom power.Studio quality condenser mic Smooth, warm sound FET Class-A electronics Dual Diaphragms Switchable cardioid, omnidirectional, figure-eight pickup patterns Incorporates patented “Disk-Resonator” technology Rugged brass body
