Hi,
In my home radio production studio I have a trusty Audio Technica AT2035 condenser which I absolutely *love* for it's quality and the detail in my voice which it picks up. The only problem is - yes, you guessed it - it picks up a lot of outside noise as it's a condenser.
Through research, I know that the RE20 dynamic mic is considered standard in many US radio stations and that it offers condenser-like quality. Also, although still quite pricey, it's relatively much cheaper than the mics used at many UK radio stations (I'm thinking Neumann in particular).
So, as I'm seeking a dynamic mic with condenser-like qualities, should I just bite the bullet (and budget) and go for an RE20 from the States? Or are there any other - maybe less expensive - dynamics that folk would recommend? (I did try the Rode Procaster and found it wasn't for me). BTW, I run my mics through a dbx286s.
As always, any thoughts/advice would be much appreciated.
