Hi Len, Quite often its a matter of taste and who is doing the singing, but
would say the first question has to be how much money do you have to spend.
Have nothing but good things about the Rode NT1A which can be gotten for $229
which would say is very reasonable for a good quality mic. I just purchased an
NT2A which I really like so far but costs a bit more. Have always liked the AKG
414 for a little more money. Dave

Subject: [ddots-l] question about microphones
Hi all. I'm thinking of purchasing a good quality vocal microphone for myself
for studio recording purposes. I hear and read that capasitor or microphones
are used these days instead of dynamic microphones and that they use phantom
power. I understand those things but now I must purchase a good one. The shops
hear don't keep stock of those kind of microphones so it is very difficult to
get one to test with. I just wondered what some of you guys are using? I know
you get mikes that are very expensive like the numan u87 and so on but I don't
have that kind of money haha. I think this can be a gnice discussion.
Kind regards
Len Viljoen
