Dot said:vanguard, the KSM44 is fairly neutral FET mic. You could use a more robust mic to complement it. I'd suggest an ADK Commemorative Edition - multi-pattern tube mic w/ NOS GE 6072A valve. http://www.adkmic.com/specs/Area51CE.html
Great quality mic with a lot of character, texture and sonic versatility.
