Shure - KSM32

I think it's easy to get drawn into the condenser mic world when we're talking vocals. It looks fancy. But most of the rooms these mics perform in cost 5 times what the expensive mic cost, to begin with. The truth is, Prince recorded most of his vocals through an SM57 at the console. If you really want a world class condenser mic, the Shure KSM32 is pretty tough to beat. Especially at the price. Audix OM5(dynamic). Personally, I've been using the Audix OM5. It really doesn't care about the room too much, the price is in the $150 range. Audix have a number of mics in the OM range. There are plenty of comparisons on YouTube. Beyerdynamic M88TG(Dynamic). This mic has been on my list for a while. I have zero experience with it but, a good friend of mine travels the world with a band as a sound engineer & works in the studio with artists, said this has been used as a vocal mic recently. He couldn't say enough about it. you can ignore this if you have an ideal recording space. But, my experience with large diameter condensors is that your voice sits in a space that includes everything around it. Including reflections. They can be really sensitive. A good dynamic just takes whats near it. The key being, finding the mic that will return what you want to hear in your voice.
