Mic for recording classic guitar

Forums

I'd like to buy a good condenser mic for recording classic guitar.
In external studios I have used AKG but they are a bit too expensive.
I would like to know if sombody has tried the sontronics stc1 and stc2. And what you think about them, because they have the right prices for me.
I need a mic good for classic guitar and also vocals possibly.

Sm57 and condensor mics

Forums

Quick question on the Sm 57. I read and hear its good for recording instruments/amps.

I was checking ebay and I saw on one of the boxes of of the sm 57..and it say "SM57-LC". I couldn't find any infomation it. So is there really 2 models of the sm57, or Im I just crazy.

Also, does anyone have any sugestions for a condensor mic under the 200$ price limit.

AKG 414 vs RODE k2

Forums

Looking to see if anyone has any comparison between these two mics. I'd be using them for pretty mcuh all instruments but my main purpose is to have a high quality stereo pair for drums and such. I'm familiar with the 414 but I've been reading a lot of good things about the k2. Unfortunately the k2 isn't something I have available to listen to. Features wise eveything is very similar.

Mic suggestions for a female voice

Forums

At the recording studio at my church we have a Gefell MT71S run through a Great River ME-1NV. This combo has proven great for a couple of guys that we have used it for, but we tried it on a female singer last night and it just wasin't that great. Now we did try several distances and gain settings, but didin't get the results we wanted. So now I ask you guys and gals.

Brauner Phantom C vs Neumann TLM49 & GR ME1NV vs John Ha

Forums

I try to find a "perfect match" for voice-overs, narration, spoken word stuff in terms of choosing right mic with appropriate preamp. My choice is narrowed to those mics and preamps mentioned in title. Phantom C & GR ME1NV / Neum TLM49 & j.Hardy M1-or other way around ..? And unfortunatly I can't try those by myself.

Any help is more than welcome.

Cheers,

Sven
