Title: Condenser Microphones Post by: D on February 26, 2007, 09:40:17 PM Im getting ready to purchase one and I have no clue what to look for.
Suggestions please. I need the best one I can get for a budget of about 120 bucks or so tops.......... Title: Re: Condenser Microphones Post by: Skeba on February 27, 2007, 03:01:40 AM I think shure 57's are used as both vocal, and instrumental microphones and are supposed to be pretty good. I know they work well live, but someone with a bit of more info might wanna tell you if they're excellent for recording as well.

Title: Re: Condenser Microphones Post by: AdZ on February 27, 2007, 10:29:31 AM Yeah, the AKG 414 is pretty mucht he do it all condenser microphone. If you're going to buy just one, I'd go for that one.
Title: Re: Condenser Microphones Post by: D on February 27, 2007, 12:01:41 PM Thanks Guys! : ok: : ok:
The mic u guys recommended costs almost 1,000 dollars! :o :o I am poor!!! Im lookin for something in the 120 to 150 dollar range. Title: Re: Condenser Microphones Post by: Skeba on February 27, 2007, 01:56:38 PM Condenser mics are more expensive..
Is there a reason it has to be a condenser mic? Title: Re: Condenser Microphones Post by: D on February 27, 2007, 04:24:22 PM I'm recording with Pro Tools and I just want a great sounding mic for optimal performance.
I was looking at these: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/MXL-MXLV63M-Condenser-Studio-Microphone-with-Shockmount?sku=273158 http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/AKG-Perception-200-LargeDiaphragm-Condenser-Microphone?sku=271243 http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/MXL-MXL-990MXL-991-Recording-Microphone-Package?sku=273166 These seem like pretty good deals. Not sure which one I prefer yet. Title: Re: Condenser Microphones Post by: Thorazine Shuffle on February 27, 2007, 04:41:38 PM This is the one I've been using lately. The Audio Tecnica AT3035.
Title: Re: Condenser Microphones Post by: IzzyDutch on February 28, 2007, 03:03:21 AM The Shure SM 57 costs 80 dollars and is a good mic.. AFD's guitars where recorded with it.
Title: Re: Condenser Microphones Post by: loretian on March 01, 2007, 03:06:24 PM This is the one I've been using lately. The Audio Tecnica AT3035. That's what I use to. It's $200 but well worth the price. Title: Re: Condenser Microphones Post by: D on March 01, 2007, 10:59:02 PM Any links to a website that sells it?
I couldnt find it on Musicians friend....... Title: Re: Condenser Microphones Post by: Miz on March 03, 2007, 10:07:07 PM Do you have a mixer with powered XLR inputs?
I don't know if you know already but condenser mic's need power, so if you're mixer doesn't give it you're gonna need a phantom power supply as well which will probably be another $30 at least. Not a lot I know but if you're on a bidget make sure you factor this in. Can't really help with stuido mic recommendations but if you're ever looking for a live vocal mic the Shure Beta 87's are the nuts.
