Is there a descent vocal Mic which sounds relatively uncoloured for under $1000. Something that will suit both Male and female vocals. I have been looking at the CAD M19 and the RODE NTK but I am still not sold on either of them.

Hello fellas..
I'd like to buy a good vocal microphone for my studio.I can spend between 200-400$.
Someone please can help me out?

Please give some suggestions to this scenario:

(This is an on-going weekly effort):
I am recording a live jazz orchestra for delayed radio broadcast (and, later, cable TV & web). For now, this is being recorded straight to DAT - mixed on the fly. No o-dubbing, post mix work, etc.

Hi guys any consensus for a lead vocal mic for around $1k - $1.2? I'm waiting on Stephen's mic but need to get something in the meantime.

Been using AT4060 (too dark and boxy for me), TLM 103 (too silibant, sounded compressed next to U87)

Hi,
I am having trouble recording vocals, and I have some questions that somebody on this forum may be able to answer. I would appreciate any help.
Here is what I've been trying.
I have an AKG3000b to my preamp inserted thru my compressor(after the preamp), to my DAW.

I have researched a number of the "china syndrome" offerings :) and would like some learned opinions on what I perhaps should purchase. This one mic will be used on a male vocals for a demo to be produced in yes. .a home studio environment. I've twice read great reviews about the Studio Projects C1.

budget round 500 considering RODE ntk blue baby bottle.would spend a little more for truly outstanding value.already have a sp c1

Hello,

I'm looking at purchasing a mic solely for vocals. I've had some experience with U89s, U87s, TLM140, Geffals etc. recording in other studios (with great results), but as I am buying this for my own studio I want to make sure I purchase something amazing (as I'll probably only start with 1 mic). After a bit of research the options I have so far are M129, Manley Reference and Brauner VM1.
