for $100, Audio Technica AT 2020.
But I would highly recommend spending $200 on either a AT 3035 or a Studio Projects C1. The addition of bass roll off and Pad switches makes these mics a thousand times better than what you will get for $100. You wont be sorry after you hear the difference. I personally like the tone of the C1 a little better.

Yeah I agree with the C1. It is worth spending a bit more for the vocal mic. This is what you will be using to record your voice (and maybe other instruments). You want the best sound to go on the track. Best of luck.

Hi all!! Just wanted to ask you about the C1 at the same time... I've never had heard of such a mic before, but seems like a little reading and browsing over the web turns things around for me too. Found this -> http://www.mojopie.com/c1.htmlIncludes a mp3 demo with male vocals on the C1. Sounds pretty much as good as anyone might need. Anyway... I have been just waiting to buy the Rode NT1A, but maybe I should reconsider my shopping list. Don't you think??

Nah... I guess I'll just go and buy it. It's not easy here in Finland to find a place where mics could really be compared. I guess that 198€ won't be something I'd be crying for afterwards.

i don't have experience with any of the other mics, but i bought a used Rode NT1A off of eBay for just under $100. it was DOA. I called Rode's service center and they said send it and they'd fix it, no charge. got it back a week later. they even included a shock mount for free when they returned it. it's been sounding sweet ever since.

Get a Shure KSM27. Its clarity is pretty much unmatched for a condenser mic of that value (~$300) and its worth the extra money for the quality it presents. For only about $150 though, you can get a good AKM which will work just fine though. The different types of mics really depend on what you plan to record. A shure SM57 or SM58 is not what you want to go with to record vocals. A condenser mic of lesser value will serve you better, although I have used a Shure SM58 Beta to record drums and it worked quite well.

What Mic Should I Buy?
