I'm New Here...I Have A Mic Question....Please Help!!!!

[Sydfan]

I hope this isn't too long! Right now I have an AKG C2000B Mic that I use for lots of different things. I need to have to mics for overhead drum miking, and I want to get mics that are versatile enough to use for vocals and maybe acoustic guitar. I have about $175 to spend. Someone recommended that I buy 2 Studio Projects B1 mics, but I'm wondering if I should just buy another AKG C2000B mic and use both of those for the drums. Somebody please help!!!!!

I haven't used the AKG C2000B, but I have a pair of Studio Projects B1s and they are a good buy, versatile, and would fit right into your budget. They usually sell for $79 each.
I don't have any, but I'm told the MXL 603s are quite good for overheads and guitar, but probably not so great for vocals, depending on your voice.

You can hear the B1 used on vocals here

Thanks for the link!! It sounds good. I bought two of them today...the B1's that is. I think I'll be very happy with them!!!
