The Superlux E304 BK is a surprisingly capable boundary mic for the budget-conscious. It's great for recording drums, kick drums, or even floor toms, and delivers a clean, natural sound that’s well-suited for podcasting or capturing ambience. Just be mindful of its higher impedance and potential for vibration issues.
