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?

      Steve W
