I built this resource page to compile all the “top brands for X” that I’ve written about on this website. In this page, each brand I’ve discussed will be followed by a list of “best brand” articles that mention the brand.
This list began as a data sheet to help me interlink between My New Microphone articles. It has grown along with the website over the years and I figure I might as well share it with you to help you navigate as well. So if you happen to find yourself on this page, these are the brands I’ve recommended in my “top X brands for Y” type articles.
Note that these are not necessarily the best of the best brands that produce audio equipment. Rather they are what I consider the top brands for specific products, as show by the linked articles. With that said, here are the brands!
