My Newest Project... A Mic Baffle!

Forums

My tracking room isn't really ideal for tracking loud guitars, so I was thinking of ways to reduce room influence. I absolutely hate the idea of putting heavy blankets over the cab and mic though because a. once you get your mic position perfect, the blanket might nudge it out of position b. if you need to move the mic it becomes a hassle and c. it probably affects the tone of the recording.

Need a new vocal mic under 500. Any suggestions? Avantone CV-12? SM7b?

I am looking for a new vocal mic. I currently have a RODE ntk but not crazy about it. Seems a little to harsh. Any suggestions for under 500 dollars?
(style is similar to coldplay/u2 stuff.)

I was considering the Shure SM7B or avantone cv-12. Any other suggestions or thoughts?

thanks
