Sorry I didn't see your post until just now, which is why I didn't see it earlier. [kind of circular logic isn't it?]
You ought to tune into the quality of the Yorkville mic that I reported on. A very nice mic for the money.
I have an AKG3000 and I just unplugged it and it will probably remain unplugged for good. The Yorkville Apex 430 beat the hell out of it for quality sound.
But, keep asking questions; I'll respond even if nobody else does, if I can help.
