I'm a guitarist currently building a small home studio I currently use a m-audio Profire 610 as an audio interface for Garageband (but may upgrade to Logic soon). I need a good condenser mic to record acoustic guitar, and some vocals. I've done quite a bit of digging around and listening to audio samples and I think these three seem to offer the nicest sound and best value. I was wondering if anyone who had experience with all three could offer any advice?
Well the Shure has a low end roll off switch and a switch for pad where as the 102 hasn't ..... but you can achieve this at your preamp or within your DAW.
If I was going to have to choose I would possibly go with the 102 and don't let the size of the 102 fool you (it's small) The 102 will deliver the goods!!!
