Best Mic under $150

[darrin_h2000]

After years of hearing about the Studio Projects B1 I finally heard one, and wrote about it in this GearSlutz thread.

IDK if it was the changes in design...they said that both B and C series mics changed after they added the Hi-Pass and Pad.
The C1 was the mic in the SP line that got all the praise.

The Studio Projects B1 is the most popular condenser mic in this thread's poll by a margin of 2:1. My ears must have been calibrated on another planet because I'm not hearing that kind of superiority - just the opposite actually.

In my opinion the best mic under $150 is either a new MXL v67 or used Oktava MK-319.

The T3 and the old C1(no pad) are the only ones I like, C3 was ok but nothing special

If we get to suggest used...I see AT4033 mics on Craigslist all the time.

the Heil PR-20 deserves more votes!

OK...I can't decide...so I'll vote for the Heil.

I can't think of a better reason
