Need mics

[billabob]

Hey everyone, im looking for a kinda budget mic pack or maybe just one mic. I wanna be able to do vox and acoustic/electric guitars. I will use it with an alesis multimix 2 usb preamp. Would it be better to get one mic or a pack like this? Search Results For 'MXL 550 ...Condenser Pack' from GigGear.co.uk

Max price would have to be about £150-200 tops. Any thoughts?

Maybe the MXL 9090 pack.

that would be a good starter pack or this one......this guy has 9 available (Brand New MXL 990 & 991 Recording Microphone Package - eBay (item 350422069090 end time Mar-11-11 09:07:23 PST))


you can probably shop around and find it cheaper.

Yep, that's a good set up too!

LDC for Vocals plus SDC for instruments

Caveat emptor:

The MXL 990 is a side address small diameter condenser mic (SDC),
in spite of some erroneous marketing verbiage stating it is an LDC.

One genuine Large Diameter Condenser mic to consider is the
MXL 2003a, or cr24 (same mic in different "clothes").

They come bundled with a Small Diameter Condenser as well,
which is often called an "instrument mic".

I would normally recommend the MXL 9090, which works well for both
vocals and instruments, because it has two capsules, a "warm" one
(in this setting the 9090 is identical the the popular v67g), and a
"bright" option. Both work fine for either vocal or instrument duties.
However, the 9090 is getting hard to find, and I have no idea where
to look, "on your side of the pond".

HTH,
NoahF

Ok so large for vox small for instruments. Thats some pretty kl advise. Would it not be better for me to get a more expensive mic than whats been recommended? i mean i got £150, about $250. Whcih two or one mic of any brand would be best in this price range?
