Sure SM58.

I was first.

Ditto.

SM-57

:)

just to be different

and get a foam sock to fit it

A little expensive?

A/T 4033

What's your budget?

Another one for SM58/57.

Want something better? OK, Beta 58/57.

Cheap condenser microphones generally sound like cheap condenser microphones. You can't go wrong with a 58 of any variety.

well, I have a few SM57's and 58's so I don't really need more of them :) how is the Audio Technica 4033 that bent recommended? I'm not sure if I can get AT mics here in iceland though :

I vote for the AT3035.......if you can get AT mics up there. Maybe you could become the AT sales rep for Iceland!

Yeah the AT mics would be a good choice. There are a few other budget LDC's that are worth considering :-

Oktava MK319
CAD M177/179
MXL V67g

The Audio Technica mics as a whole completely blow away the mics you have in your list.

Dont get me wrong I own a MK319 and I love it. It was chosen from several which all had a huge variation of sound from mic to mic. The CAD's are somewhat better and I'm not a fan of the MXL mics.

It all has to do with quality control. Most of the less expensive condensers have this problem and swing wildly in sound quality from mic to mic.

Audio Technica mics do not. You could equip a pro studio with only AT mics and depending on outboard gear, could get a great sound under any circumstance as well as musical genre.

By design, all the models display a particular sound quality and tonal response, so tailoring your collection to particular sources is fairly no-brainer.
