Our take on the Greenbox Pro Audio GB-487 Condenser Mic

The Greenbox Pro Audio GB-487 is a large-diaphragm, unidirectional condenser microphone with a wired connection, aimed at home recordists and podcasters. Large-diaphragm condensers in this class are built to capture vocals and acoustic instruments with more detail than a typical dynamic mic. No current price or price history is available for this listing, so compare it against other large-diaphragm condensers before buying.

Questions and answers

Does the GB-487 need phantom power?
Yes. As a condenser microphone it needs 48V phantom power, which most USB audio interfaces and mixers provide. Check your interface before buying.
Is a large-diaphragm condenser good for podcasting?
It gives a fuller, more detailed voice than a dynamic mic, but it picks up more room noise. Treat your space with soft furnishings and keep the mic close.
What else do I need to use it?
You need an audio interface or mixer with an XLR input and phantom power, an XLR cable, and a stand. A pop filter helps on close vocals.
How does it compare with a dynamic mic like the Shure SM58?
The condenser captures more detail and brightness on quiet sources. The dynamic mic handles loud sources and untreated rooms better and needs no phantom power.
Is the GB-487 worth it?
It is a reasonable first condenser if you record vocals or acoustic instruments in a quiet room and already own an interface. Compare its price with established large-diaphragm condensers before deciding.
