Best Voiceover Microphone

Joe Zieja

“The Mini K87 may be the best bang for your buck for any voiceover microphone I've ever used, period. I've shot this out with $3500 microphones with some of Los Angeles' top studios, with engineers that have been in this business for 20+ years, and not one of them could tell the difference. This mic is now my workhorse for almost everything I do.”

Joe Zieja is a voice actor, author, and educator. He has voiced hundreds of characters, from Arcane to Transformers, plus radio commercials and Fortune 500 projects. His Voice Acting Academy provides comprehensive instruction on building a career as a voice artist.

“I have experience with a lot of microphones. When I record, my main goal is to capture personality and translate emotion. The Roswell Mini K87 is an excellent tool for this job. It's a brilliant combination of quality at an incredible price.”

Andrew Wehrlen

“I received the Mini K87 today and OMG! The sound was amazing. Beautiful, rich, and smooth. This mic's self noise is rated 12dBA, but it seems much quieter than my Sennheiser MK4 (rated 10dBA). I just returned the new Lewitt 540S; this mic sounds way better. You guys have found the secret sauce!”

With over a decade in the biz, Andrew is a SOVAS and Independent Audiobook Award nominated voice actor in VA (just outside DC) specializing in audiobooks. Under his name and his romance pseudonym he has recorded 370+ audiobooks from his home studio.

Daniel Caouette

“I'm a mic goblin, and the Mini K87 is the cure to my addiction. Where I used to reach for a different mic on many reads, now my locker is streamlined. Why fuss with a bunch of overpriced mics when I know the Mini K87 gives me the exact sound I'm looking for?”

Daniel Caouette is an up and coming voice actor in overdrive. After Daniel's old CEO poked fun at his promo voice, Daniel put in the work so he could finally say "I told you so!" If you're not running an ad-blocker, chances are you'll hear him making some smart-ass remark in big brand ads.

Jay Preston & Meg Hensley

“My wife and I did a microphone shootout, and the Roswell Mini K87 held its own and came out on top! The design, the customization and the customer service are all top notch. This mic is perfect for the home studio and mobile rigs and is currently one of the three mics we use on a daily rotation.”

Jay Preston and Megan Hensley are Husband and Wife dynamic VO duo! They've voiced for hundreds of commercials (over a dozen together) and you can find their voices in many of your favorite video games. Meg and Jay found each other and a love for the Voice Over Industry in Los Angeles where they currently live. With a love of travel, wine and adventure these two have successfully recorded in almost every state over the last seven years together. They both pair nicely with the Roswell Mini K87!

Popped it in, and WOW! The sound of this, next to my Sennheiser 416, was astronomically brilliant! I was not expecting it to blow me away, but it did and does -- every time I light it up for a spot or an audition!

Simply put, I’m blown away. I didn’t even fully realize how much I was fighting against the brightness and sibilance of other mics I had been using until I worked with a more balanced and neutral mic like this one.

In our search for a mic for exclusive use for cartoon voice acting, we purchased a Mini K87. The mic performs better than expected, and already sounds better and [is] more flexible than more-expensive mics we own.

I bought this mic because I wanted something neutral and un-hyped for audiobook narration. I had been using a Shure KSM44a, which is a super mic, but has a bit of a presence boost (like so many modern mics) that didn't play well with my sibilance. The mini-K87 not only tames my sibilance, thus requiring less processing (EQ, de-essing) but also has a beefier, thicker midrange that works well with my voice. I'm really happy with this mic!

I've used it extensively in my own set up since purchasing it, and have tested with a number of voice actors. The Mini K87 is accurate without being "sizzly," handles sibilant voices well, and has a great tone. This has become my most recommended microphone.
