Welcome to the My New Microphone Recommended Gear page!
Over the years of building this website, I've written a few articles recommending what I believe to be the best gear. Sometimes this has to do with the best gear for a certain application and other times it's the best gear from a specific category of products.
Because this site continues to grow, I thought it necessary to compile all the links to recommended gear posts in one document. Note that this is a living document and will be updated as new content is uploaded to this website.
With that being said, here are some links to skip ahead to the main gear categories. You'll find more specific links within each category:
