Best Voice Over Microphones

I'm Harlan Hogan. I've enjoyed a pretty successful career as a voice actor, and I've long searched for the "perfect" voiceover microphone.

Finally I decided to create my own.

I don't know if this microphone for voice over performers is perfect for you, of course. But here is what I can tell you about this mic.

I partnered with Marshall Electronics to create the first mic designed for voiceover performers by a voice over professional. We gave it a decidedly non-glamorous name: the "MXL VO: 1-A Signature Series microphone."

It's a studio condenser microphone that faithfully captures deep tones without sounding too heavy.

This VO mic has a silky smooth top end that is never harsh - a perfect sound palette for most male and female voice over performers.

But….

I've always advised voice talents to "audition" a microphone before deciding it's their mic of choice. That's why we sell the MXL VO: 1-A with the kind of refund policy you won't usually find with studio microphones:

If you try it and don't feel it's right for you, just send it back for a full refund, no questions asked. And no hard feelings, either.

I could blather on about the "state of the art class A circuitry," "the balanced/transformerless output," the "gold sputtered diaphragm," etc.

But why read my biased description of my own voice over microphone when you can hear the results for yourself?

It's the voice over microphone made by a voice actor for voiceover performers everywhere.

I'm proud to have my name on it.

Harlan Hogan has crafted a world-class, three-decade voiceover career from his home studio in Chicago. He's given voice to some of the most recognizable campaigns in advertising history: "Raid kills bugs fast, kills bugs dead".... "When you care enough to send the very best".... "Energizer charges batteries --”precisely".... "Thick, rich Heinz catsup; good things come to those who wait".... "It's the cereal even Mikey likes!" -- all Harlan Hogan.
