Hi!

Just seeing what everyone thought to these selection of mics for overheads since I have a limited budget? Which ones would you choose?

AKG P220
Rode NT5
AKG P170
Or a new one! - Audio Technica ATM450

Thanks a lot for all your help!

The only ones I've actually used are the NT5 and Octavia MK-012 which would be in the same price range. The only thing I can say is that I don't care if I use any of those or km-184's. I'd be surprised if anyone could tell which one was which in a mix with some EQ. The neat thing about the mk012's is that you can swap capsules which has come in handy a bunch of times.
 
Thanks for writing Oskar! Haven't seen those mics, I'll check them out. Thanks!
 
If you want to use a single stereo mic try a MXL V67Q, I love this mic as an overhead when using a single stereo x-y.
