Get to know them!

The King Bee from Neat Microphones is a great solution for those recording applications that call for low noise and high sensitivity from a cardioid condenser mic. With Class A circuitry, the King Bee refrains from adding noise to your tracks. For the versatility you need, this large-diaphragm microphone has been designed to give you absolute transparency. What you hear from the source is what the King Bee captures, making it ideal for everything from vocals and drums to more complex instruments such as woodwinds and strings. Accompanied by a complement of essential recording accessories, the King Bee from Neat Microphones is sure to be your new go-to large-diaphragm condenser mic.

Discrete Class A circuitry provides balanced sound for any source

By using discrete Class A circuitry, the King Bee provides you with the high output and wide frequency response that gives you an accurate and detailed recording. A detailed midrange comes in handy to really bring the vocals forward in you mix or pulling the warmth out of brass and higher-pitched stringed instruments. A velvety-dense low end and crystal-clear presence capture the fullness of sound from acoustic guitars and give you the definition you need from percussion instruments. You can even use two King Bees as your go-to stereo pair for drum overheads, pianos, and more.

Diaphragm designed for versatility and response

Sweetwater's recordists know that a large-diaphragm condenser mic is a studio must-have. The King Bee's precision-engineered diaphragm gives you an accurate, detailed response no matter what source you're recording with it. The gold-sputtered capsule lets you enjoy clear, natural sound, and a broad frequency response gives you plenty of track to mix with.

Essential studio tools you need — included!

Your King Bee large-diaphragm condenser microphone comes with a full accessory package to ensure you have all you need to get the best sound possible. Included are the Honeycomb pop filter to keep plosives out of your recordings, and the Beekeeper shockmount to minimize the transfer of vibration through the mic stand protecting your tracks from unexplained low-end noises.
