what are the best mics out there that are clear?

[mrbasicofmbc]

i was just curious in findin out what everyone uses and what are the best mics out there that are clear for recording with?

 

[Jack Tracks]

this question is way to generalized.. I use a Nuemann TLM 127 w/ a Avalon nt 737 preamp... im tryin' to upgrade my mic soon though... not quite what im looking for.. Im picky as hell though

 

[mrbasicofmbc]

yea it is a lil too generalized. i'm just curious cuz i might wanna upgrade mine. i use the gt55 groove tube. but what do you have in mind?

 

[BASEDVATO]

I got a Sterling Mic and love it ... its warm, and has a nice clear sound

 

[VdZ]

i think you should upgrade your pre-amp.
get anything that rupert neve designed...

the nuemann should be fine.

nuemann u87 and the tube u47 are very popular at big studios
akg c12 & Sony C800G

theese top dollarz mic

but if you lookin for something good and affordable
i hear the rhode ntk is the best choice!

 

[City Situation]

yeah they're right when they say you need to get a preamp above anything else. there's this analog mixer with great preamps and we just plugged in some old smashed up mic, and it sounds great.

For beginners, or just to test out the world of vocal/acoustic recording is a mxl alright? I'm thinking about getting the 990/991 combo. http://www.musician.com/product/MXL...ing-Microphone-Package?sku=273166&src=GWFRWXX . This way i'll get vocals and guitar all figured out.

Anyone selling any mics for around that price range ($70)?

Dude just go to your local professional music store, and rent out mics. Test them, find what's best for you, and then purchase it.

We have Long & McQuade here, and I can go in there and rent anything I want for very cheap. Find a good outlet and rent some mics, test them.

I hate MXL personally.

Later.

I used mxl for a while and it did good for me..... you just need to know what its limitations are and test in with different acoustics to get a good sound.....

I agree test em out cause 1 mic might sound like a million bucks on his voice and it might sound like 1 cent on yours.
