Wish I would've found you guys sooner. Excellent responses and advice from the moderators; nice to have such a supply of recording veterans out there. I've played a lot more than I've recorded and for some reason, I've always been lucky with friends with good mics, and didn't have to invest in much till now.

I just started a jazz music program at university and, as a singer, I'm required to buy a vocal mic. I don't have much experience with them and I want to make sure that I make a good choice.
Does anyone have a suggestion?

(I'm not sure yet how much I am willing to spend but I'm a student so times are fairly tight.)

Help! Can anyone identify this vintage jazz microphone?

I cant seem to post a photo but if you look on the inside cover of coltranes a love supreme there are 2 right over elvins drums.
They look like Neumann small diapragm condensers with a funny
globe ball basket on the ends ( like a big ball)
Any info is greatly appreciated, i.e. Make model, condenser?, transformer? tube?
Thank you[/img]
