large diaphram condenser

[gitrokr]

is there a must for recording vocal with a large diaphram condenser, like the sm-58 for live vocals??? or, what types of vocal condensers do you recommend and why? thanks

gitrokr, are you planning to use the same vocal microphone for live and home studio use?
Also, what's the limit of your budget?

Generally small diaphram dynamics (including some ribbons) and
condensers are used for live performance.
The SM58 is a small diaphram dynamic BTW.

it would be used only for home studio..i want a large diaphram vocal condenser like $150 for recording vocals

A great place to start is with the Studio Projects B1 large diaphragm condenser mic ($79-$85) and an AudioBuddy mic preamp ($75). This combination will allow you to record vocals, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, drum overhead, and just about anything else that makes sound.

uhhhh, I believe kid klash's suggestion was the Studio Projects B1. From what I've heard this is very suited to vocals. Good luck!

I've heard a lot of bad things about the Marshall mics. Samson makes a cheap LDC with switchable polar patterns about $200
Also look through the classifieds I've found a Cannaut Acoustic Designs LDC for $300cdn. It's heavy duty (Tries to function like a U87). don't want to seem like a Vulture but, there's studios closing down everywhere. Keep your eyes peeled for the deals.
