I'm looking for some advice on a good microphone for voice overs. I do screencast training and need high quality voiceover audio to go with the videos.
I currently have a Samson C03 condenser. Its not the greatest as it has a high self-noise but it has done the job okay so far. I have been looking at upgrading to a better quality mic with a very low self noise. First I was looking at the Rode NT2-A as the self noise is very low and the quality and build is better than my Samson C03. Through my researching I stumbled up broadcast mics such as the Electro Voice RE-20 where the proximity is less of an issue and it picks up less of the background noise. I know this is a dynamic microphone so was wondering whch would be better for my situation. Then there is also the Rode Procaster and broadcaster. Any thoughts on these mics?
I have a semi-treated room, I could go further with more room treatment to deaden the sound. But have been wondering if a broadcast mic or a better quality condensor mic is my best option.
My nearest music store is a 2-hour drive away so it's difficult for me to go through and test some mics out, plus they have to order the stock first. So I would really appreciate feedback on what the best option would be more my situation.
