Shure - PG58-QTR

The Yeti is a fine mic. But if your issue is background noise you should look at a dynamic mic vs condenser - SM58 is a good choice. If only speech a PG58 would work as well. Also, beyond the mic, what are the acoustics of the room? Any sound baffles to limit noise? The mic needs to match the room and the use. And as someone already said, this is a problem that can be solved for well under $1,000

Neumann U versions AKG 414 Sennheiser 441 Electro voice RE 20 Shure 57 and 58 versions Beyer Ribbon mic. I'm from the 1980s era so that's why I have no modern mics in my list. I edited out some mics because I realized we were only talking vocal mics. There were some days in my 3000 plus sessions where I had time to set up all these mics for a vocalist and then let them run down some of the song in each one. The Neumann i had was a U87. All late 1970s era mics. Within just a few minutes i knew what mic fit their vocal pre EQ. Miss those days..
