There&#8217;s intimacy in having an artist simply sit down with their acoustic guitar and play. Because there aren&#8217;t many moving parts from a technical perspective, you have more energy to focus on performance and nuance. That&#8217;s when the real challenge (and fun) begins! For those recording at home, finding the best mic for acoustic guitar can be daunting. Thankfully, you don&#8217;t need access to a high-end mic locker to capture excellent acoustic recordings!<\/p>\n<h2>What to Look for in an Acoustic Guitar Mic<\/h2>\n<p>That&#8217;s the age-old question that us gear junkies have, isn&#8217;t it? What is the best &#8216;x&#8217; for accomplishing &#8216;y&#8217;? The real answer to this question is that there is no &#8216;best&#8217; anything; sure, there are long-running favorites that engineers have relied on for years, but recording music is far too subjective an experience to claim a be-all-end-all. There are so many factors involved, from how the performer plays, the song itself, the instrument used, how the room sounds, the engineer and the artist&#8217;s personal sonic preferences, and on, and on.<\/p>\n<p>With all of those other variables to consider, it almost makes mic choice seem trivial. In some ways it is, because talented engineers have been getting amazing results with little to nothing for decades. And in other ways it&#8217;s very important, based on tried-and-true acoustic guitar recording methods. Before we dive into our picks for the best mics, we&#8217;ll briefly discuss fundamental acoustic guitar recording techniques.<\/p>\n<h3>Recording Acoustic Guitar<\/h3>\n<p>Most engineers like to record acoustic guitar in high detail using some form of <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/fundamental-stereo-miking-techniques\/\">stereo miking<\/a>. X\/Y is easy enough to set up and makes use of cardioid mics, so you don&#8217;t have to worry about having multiple polar patterns on more expensive microphones. That&#8217;s one way to record acoustic guitar with richness and width.<\/p>\n<p>Small diaphragm condensers are also a popular choice for acoustic guitar and other acoustic instruments because they tend to be very detailed in the way they capture sound. They also work beautifully as a pair for stereo recording, so SDCs are going to be at the top of the list for acoustic guitar.<\/p>\n<p>Now here&#8217;s where things start to get ambiguous again, because certain dynamic mics, and of course large diaphragm condensers, are great for recording acoustic guitar as well. Dynamics are more genre-dependent, though; they&#8217;re insensitive and less detailed than a condenser, but would work great for someone doing heavy strumming. Of course, LDCs work on anything and everything. Usually one LDC placed anywhere between the bridge and the bottom of the neck to taste works well on acoustic guitar.<\/p>\n<h2>Best Mic for Acoustic Guitar Under $1000<\/h2>\n<h3>1. <a href=\"https:\/\/sweetwater.sjv.io\/k0g3Lx\">Shure SM57<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>What can we say about the <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/history-of-the-shure-sm57-the-most-popular-dynamic-mic-ever-made\/\">SM57<\/a> that hasn&#8217;t already been said? It&#8217;s easily in the top three (top two?) most famous microphones ever made. Since its debut, the 57 has likely played a part in just about every record ever made. Reputation aside, we don&#8217;t often consider this dynamic mic a great choice for quieter, more subtle acoustic instruments.<\/p>\n<p>Even though the rugged and brash SM57 isn&#8217;t the best for recording the most detailed and nuanced performances, it&#8217;s still an awesome choice for someone who strums aggressively. The 57&#8217;s presence boost works well enough, and you can even use proximity effect to your advantage to give a thinner sounding guitar more body.<\/p>\n<h3>2. <a href=\"https:\/\/imp.i114863.net\/LPZaGY\">AKG C451<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-51235 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_3.jpg\" alt=\"Picking the Best Mic for Acoustic Guitar_3\" width=\"500\" height=\"259\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_3.jpg 500w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_3-150x78.jpg 150w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_3-80x41.jpg 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_3-320x166.jpg 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_3-290x150.jpg 290w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_3-40x21.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_3-160x83.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_3-20x10.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_3-17x9.jpg 17w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_3-385x199.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The ubiquitous 451 is one of the most famous small diaphragm condensers of all time. It&#8217;s primarily noted for being a fantastic hi-hat or cymbals mic, and strangely enough, what tends to work on parts of a drum set also tends to work on acoustic guitar. Even though the two instruments seem worlds apart in terms of sound, the fundamental goal of recording either is to capture transients and high-end sheen in great detail and clarity. Thus, the 451 makes for an excellent acoustic guitar mic, whether alone or (better yet) as a stereo pair.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/best-mic-for-rap-vocals\/\">Best Mic for Rap Vocals: 15 Great Mics for $1000 or Less<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>3. <a href=\"https:\/\/imp.i114863.net\/x9NEPv\">Audio-Technica AT4041<\/a><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_51236\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51236\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-51236 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_4.png\" alt=\"Picking the Best Mic for Acoustic Guitar_4\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_4.png 500w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_4-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_4-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_4-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_4-75x75.png 75w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_4-270x270.png 270w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_4-225x225.png 225w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_4-170x170.png 170w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_4-320x320.png 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_4-40x40.png 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_4-18x18.png 18w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_4-160x160.png 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_4-16x16.png 16w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_4-14x14.png 14w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_4-340x340.png 340w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_4-10x10.png 10w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_4-20x20.png 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_4-9x9.png 9w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_4-385x385.png 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-51236\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.audio-technica.com\/en-us\/at4041\">Audio-Technica<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Here&#8217;s another straightforward SDC with a reputation for sounding great and being very affordable.

This extra presence and top-end glimmer is great for flattering a shimmery acoustic guitar performance.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>RELATED: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/best-mic-for-acoustic-guitar\/\">The Best Mics for Acoustic Guitar [Under $1000]<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>4. <a href=\"https:\/\/imp.i114863.net\/5b7a3N\">Lauten LA-220<\/a><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_51239\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51239\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-51239 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_7.jpg 500w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_7-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_7-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_7-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_7-75x75.jpg 75w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_7-270x270.jpg 270w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_7-225x225.jpg 225w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_7-170x170.jpg 170w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_7-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_7-40x40.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_7-18x18.jpg 18w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_7-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_7-16x16.jpg 16w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_7-14x14.jpg 14w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_7-340x340.jpg 340w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_7-10x10.jpg 10w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_7-20x20.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_7-9x9.jpg 9w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Picking-the-Best-Mic-for-Acoustic-Guitar_7-385x385.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-51239\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lautenaudio.com\/la-220\">Lauten<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This guy is an impressive LDC almost tailor made for acoustic guitar. With features exceeding its price, the LA-220 comes with switchable high-pass and low-pass filters at 120 Hz and 12 kHz respectively. Recording acoustic guitar means you may contend with low-end boominess and high-end harshness, which these filters take head-on. The overall design is inspired by vintage classics, with more modern noise-free components and a price tag that anyone can afford.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/best-overhead-drum-mics\/\">5 Best Overhead Drum Mics for Detail &amp; Clarity<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>5. <a href=\"https:\/\/sweetwater.sjv.io\/nLLyAx\">R\u00f8de NT1<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-58085 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NT1Kit-large.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"301\" height=\"400\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NT1Kit-large.jpg 301w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NT1Kit-large-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NT1Kit-large-56x75.jpg 56w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NT1Kit-large-203x270.jpg 203w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NT1Kit-large-169x225.jpg 169w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NT1Kit-large-128x170.jpg 128w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NT1Kit-large-263x350.jpg 263w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NT1Kit-large-40x53.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NT1Kit-large-14x18.jpg 14w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NT1Kit-large-160x213.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NT1Kit-large-12x16.jpg 12w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NT1Kit-large-11x14.jpg 11w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NT1Kit-large-256x340.jpg 256w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NT1Kit-large-8x10.jpg 8w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NT1Kit-large-20x27.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NT1Kit-large-226x300.jpg 226w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NT1Kit-large-7x9.jpg 7w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NT1Kit-large-16x21.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 301px) 100vw, 301px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Not to be confused with the ridiculously popular NT-1A, the NT1 is a similarly versatile budget LDC, with a slightly less hyped top-end.

Its cardioid pattern reduces background noise, focusing on the instrument&#8217;s sound. The P170 features a 1\/2-inch diaphragm, providing clear and detailed recordings with a balanced frequency response.<\/p>\n<p>It handles high SPLs well, making it suitable for dynamic playing styles. Its rugged construction ensures durability, while its lightweight design allows easy positioning. The P170 is ideal for home studios and professional setups alike.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>The best mic for acoustic guitar isn&#8217;t just one! There&#8217;s a whole massive world of microphones out there, and we&#8217;ve chosen but a few to share based on what tends to work when recording acoustic instruments. Most of the time small diaphragm condensers sound great, especially in stereo pairs. Large diaphragm condensers make a perfect single-mic choice, though they can be used for stereo recording as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recording acoustic instruments can be a ton of fun.
