Hand held condensers

There are still many misconceptions about hand held condensers. I challenge anyone who thinks dynamic is the only option for live vocals to try an LSR mic. You'll be blown away.

I read in a big scandinavian music magazine recently that hand held condenser started coming out 6-7 years ago - around 2002 I guess. But it should probably be interpreted as when the "big" companies launched their hand held condenser.

Milab did it 25 years ago. The LC-25 was way ahead of it's time and was (and is) used by many great artists. It's been replaced by the LSR series now, but after 25 years we are still getting requests for it and manufacture it on demand. But the LSR-1000 is pretty much the same construction.

This is a clip from the classic Rod Stewart MTV Unplugged concert in 1993. Rod is using a Milab LSR-2000. And this is almost 10 years before "hand held condensers started coming out"...
