Thanks for the suggestions again guys!
I have a question about the MXL V67 mics. Does the MXL V67g use the same capsule as the warmer capsule in the V67i?
 
Hi. I bought a T.Bone RM700 ribbon mic which sounds nice. I haven't tried it on the gospel singer yet but it is loads smoother than my Rode NT1a and Studio Projects B1. I sold another piece of gear that I no longer use so have around $150 for another mic. I've been reading around here and am still interested in these mics:-

MXL V67g
Sennheiser E840,E935
Rode M3
ADK A51
KEL Audio HM-1 , HM-2

Which would you recommend out of these to my collection?
 
i havnt used it but the akg d12e is supposed to be very dark

just on the colored side

akg solidtube

again in your price range (so far)

its dark yet transparent (u want warm so youd be better with colored)

gives u an indication of what is dark and whats not.
 
Hi guys.Thanks for all the advice you gave me. I ended up getting a T.Bone RM700 ribbon mic and MXL V67g. The MXL should be here next week :).
 
Hi guys. Thanks for your input on this last time!
I'm looking for another darker mic without too much air and top end.
I'm considering these:-

KEL HM1 / HM2
Rode M3
T.Bone MB85 Beta (dynamic)
Octava MK 219
Joe Meek JM37
M-Audio Luna

Which of these mics would you recommend as a good compliment to my existing mics:-

Rode NT1a
MXL V67g
Studio Projects B1
T.Bone RM700 (ribbon)
 
I've been using the Oktava MK-219 on a female with mezzo-alto range and it's very satisfying to me. This mic has a strong dark color with gloss. I got it on Craigslist for $70 and can't complain.
 
Apex 205. 100 bucks. I use it on electric guitar mainly. Like it on snare too. Cheapo ribbon.

This Oktava in unmodified original version has a strong resonance of the body that is influencing a sound. I have quite bad experience with MK219.

A newer version MK319 was improved by Oktava engineers so even if this resonance is still there it was reduced a lot.
So I would recommend MK319 more.
And do not buy a modified version if you want a darker mic. Modification usually opens a top end and makes this mike more versatile for general using in studio.
