b born droid Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Ok so i need a large diaphragm condensor mic. Mainly for recording vocals at home, maybe the odd acoustic guitar. Nothing fancy, mainly because my budget is piss poor; i'm looking at £150 max which is fucking terrible, but i really need to get one so needs must. I've used the SE Electronics SE220A and it good enough for what i want, but i'm thinking i should see if there's anything else i should maybe pay attention to. I've done a bit of looking around and seen these that i might consider. Audio Technica AT3035 Rode NT1-A AKG C 2000 B] I'm quite taken with the AKG C 2000 B, plus it's got over 50% off. Thoughts people?? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Analogue Wings Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Get a Studio Projects B1 -£71. Just spotted yr budget - get two! If you can stretch your budget to £180, get a C1 Fucking awesome value for money - you will not regretXor! Personally, I hate AKGs - they have an ugly bump in the high mids that makes cymbals sound harsh and vocals sound nasal. Given this, they will probably suck for acoustics too. Note that I have been flamed for anti-AKG comments on this very board, but probably by people who've never tried anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest boo Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Audio Technicas are good for guitars, i've heard. those Rodes look good to me, the low-noise promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
