Right now I use a dynamic mic.
Could I use a large diaphram mic in this same manor, and would there be an improvement in sound, over a dynamic?

Any thoughts on small diaphram condensers used in this manor, any gain in quality?

You got it, window air conditioner, no other choise in my garage/studio. Right here in Sunny Florida, no air conditioner=slow death.
Thanks, will look into Shures you recomended.
Really, I just thought that this subject hadn't been touched upon, and thought it was relevant!!

Or the SM-7.littledog said:You never specified condenser mics, just large diaphragm - and therein may lie the answer. try an EV RE20 or RE27 - large diaphragm DYNAMIC mics. you can plaster your lips right up against them. Radio stations use them all the time for their DJ's- and we all know how much DJ's love proximity effect.
