i looking to buy these and was wondering if any of you know if these would produce a half decent vocal recording, but i'll be using them as live drum overheads as well.
The Apex 185 are probably not your best bet for vocals. They will do the job but there are better options. I find them a bit noisy and they accentuate the low-end a bit too much. They are OK for ambient room recording and drums, but since vocals are so central I would suggest a better mike.
