I think I have exhausted my search for the best vocal mics for my collection. I have built several U47 style mics, which are all amazing sounding. I have built an Ela M clone and a C12 clone. I have several Royer mics that I have hot-rodded to their limits. I have made several other hot rodded LDCs that all sound fantastic to my ears. I think I'm done with LDC's for a while.
Now I am on a different pursuit! I need to build some really accurate pencil and instrument mics. Many capsules available on eBay, but here's where I start the new learning curve: What do you believe are the best SDC mics out there?
And I could always use pointers in what to choose for dynamics. I'm considering the SM7, the RE20, the 421 and others.
Educate me, oh brilliant folks out there!
Suggestions?
