For example, were I to mic up an acoustic guitar, I’d far prefer to set up the King Bee II or a Rode shotgun mic. The King Bee II appears to be looking maybe more towards the Blue Blackout Spark SL region of the market, but it can absolutely compete with the SM7B, depending on use case. The founder was previously the co-founder of Blue Microphones, too, so you sort of know what quality to expect from the King Bee II before you even unbox it. It shows, then, that NEAT, the company behing the King Bee II is thinking of the customer. However, unlike the now industry standard SM7B, you won’t need a Cloudlifter or FETHEAD to get it to acceptable gain levels.Īnd this might seem like a minor thing to some, but when a microphone of this quality is already expensive, adding a over £50 again on top to just get acceptable audio gain is not minor.

Rather than connecting the King Bee II to your PC via USB like so many others (the ever popular Blue Yeti, for example, or even the Shure SM7B’s USB-cousin, the MV7), you will need an audio interface to plug the King Bee II into. For the uninitiated, XLR is a connection type. To some it might be a lost art, with so much production taking place on iPhones and iPads around the world, but if you want studio quality audio, you’re going to need to invest in a quality condenser XLR mic. It’s hard to overstate how important audio quality is nowadays. For years now, there hasn’t been a major shake up when it comes to quality microphones, but NEAT’s King Bee II might just be the one to come along and kick a few hornet’s nests.
