Now that we are on the topic of mics, can you guys recommend a pair of
stereo mics that are in a good budget range that would work well for
percussion and wind instruments etc? I would like to get 2 mics for that and
a c1 or c3 for vocals and other purposes. I really just need to get a good
mic for percussion and another for wind instruments, or a pair that can do
both (for stereo use). I know any mic would probably do, but is any specific
mic better for 1 thing or the other, i know that percussions are especially
picky when it comes to mics and transients etc. Any recommendations? I have
to get a band director i'll be recording with info on what mics we'll need
for the recording by this week.
THX, D!J!X!

Yup. With Dave on the Studio Projects C1. I personally prefer the Studio
Projects mics as I think they sound better than the Rodes ones. Love the
Studio Projects C1 and C3. Also love the Studio Projects T3 which I think
is the C3 valve equivalent. Amazing mics!

hi Steve, The 57 and 58 mic's are great for live use but you won't believe
difference with either the nt2A or the Studio project microphones. i have
the C1 and people just can't believe its sound for the price. of course you
can blow hundreds and hundreds of dollars for certain mics but really
believe the c1 is best out there for the price. Think around $240 or so and
that is a great price for high quality mic with bass rolloffs and padding as
well which really comes in handy. If you check the reviews out there, think
they will show that I'm not alone. The Shure mics can handle some basic
recording but when you want to get a foot away from mic, they don't hang
with the true recording mics. Can't beat 57 for being durable but just don't
have the definition and subtleties of a good recording mic. You won't be
sorry. most all decent recording mics do require fantom power however so
something to know in advance. Dave

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the info about Rode microphones, and thanks for mentioning Studio
Project microphones.
Which of the Studio project microphones do you have?
I'm using a Shure Beta 87A for my live Shows, it suits my voice well, I just
think I need something a little more studio dedicated for recording.

hi Steve, i really like my NT2A as is good for many uses, and very good for
vocals. Use mine on acoustic guitar, precussion, and even used it on guitar
amp. The NT1A works very well too but NT2A has choice of different paterns
which can be handy. To be honest, think you may want to check out the Studio
Project microphones as well. Used my NT2A exclusively til I bought one of
theirs. Have had many different people use it and all have been amazed and
had to go out and buy one of their own. You can't go wrong with either one
but since I got the Studio Project mic have pretty much just stuck with it
and the NT2A has been in its case for a while. Dave

Hi All,
I'm aware that quite a few of the people who post on this forum use Rode
microphones for studio projects.
I'd never heard of them until I read about them on this forum, I've since
taken a look at the reviews about Rode on the net, I'm very impressed with
what I read.
I just wondered, which one of the rode studio microphones would you
recommend as the best one for lead vocals and voice-over recordings?
