First mic for vocals

[jacob89]

I want to buy my 1st mic for vocals and I was surfing the net so far I was able to find 4 mics
AKG C-210 383 EUROS
NEUMANN KMS104 399 EUROS
SHURE KSM32 545 EUROS
SENHEISER MK4 299 EUROS
Which one of these is best for vocals in an untreated room and do u have any other suggestions around the price range of 300-400 euros

Watching the thread. I don't have any specific recommendations, but with your budget you have a lot of options.

Agree with Robus, lots of choices in that price range.
However, in an untreated space, a Shure SM7b new/used if you have a good preamp with substantial gain.
Also look at the sE Electronics: sE-X1R or their Voodoo VR1 and Vr2 Ribbon Mics, new or used.
May as well look at the Golden Age Ribbon Mics including the R1 Mark III Passive or Active.
As with the SM7b, Passive Ribbon Mics will need a preamp that provides substantial gain or something along the lines of a the "Cloudlifter" whereas with Active Ribbon Mics, not so much.
