I will be using it mainly to record vocals. The mics I'm considering are: U 87- classic, I know it's sound but maybe a bit outdated now? Manley black (the cheaper version of Gold)- heard good reports but won't have the chance to test it... so it would be a bit risky? DPA 4041, supposed to be stunning... will try it out... VM 1, colours the higher frequencies but I like it... If anyone has any thoughts on the subject... Thanks Pete This post has been edited by elipio: Thu 26 Jan 2006, 23:02

It depends of the urge to get a nice mic vs the money you can spend on it... if you want one trustworthy "high end" mic at at cheaper price, go rode. if you're rich, go U87 or better or equivalent. check out the ribbon mic market. there's an interesting article on the topic in EM november 2k5. they also review chinese ribbon mics... -------------------- you wish!!!!
