Hey everyone, I'm in the market for a budget condenser (<250).
I'm trying to get a warm/mellow smooth sound. I'll be powering it with my presonus firestation preamps.
I went over to the listening sessions website and listened to the C1, B1, B3, and AKGc3000.
I don't get all the hype about the C1. It sounded thin, nasal, and harsh to me. I actually used to have one, and I never needed EQ in my mixes. This was nice, but I never had any other good mics to compare it to. In my opinion both the B1 and B3 sound better.
I think I like the AKG3000 the best though. It seemed smooth. The sibilance sounds were not harsh. Detail and transparency without harshness is what I want. My question is, how does the AKGc3000 compare to the Shure KSM-27? Price wise, they are about the same.
