I bought an AKG D790 mic a while ago at Guitar Center for vocal recording at home for about $120, supposedly 50% off of list. It was recommended to me by the sales person. I find that it is quite powerful but also very sensitive. The mic picks up every little vibration, movement of lips, breathing and also some 'pop' which I do not know where it is coming from! Compared to an old and inexpensive Sony condenser mic I have,$40, ECM-220FA, I find the Sony gives a better 'soothing and rounded' results. What seems to be the problem?
I do'nt have any sophistcated studio set up. When I went back and asked at the Guitar Center, they tell me to use mic shock absorbers and diaphragms etc. which I currently do not have. I use a Radio Shack mixer and then go into a tape deck.
Thanks
