Ok I'm in the process of setting up my home recording studio and i have reserved around 300 USD for a decnte entry level condenser mic, intended for recording mainly vocals and some nylon string guitars. in this price range, there are three suitable ones the Shure SM87A (supercardioid, small diaphragm,handheld), the AKG 3000B and Audio Technica AT 3035. I know the difference between cardioid and supercardioid, and considering that im recording a room not very sound isolated i am inclining towards the Shure SM87A which should pick up less unwanted noise. However, if at the long run i end up having a better run, I am wondering whcih one would be best, the AKG 3000B or the AT 3035. the AKG has mixed reviews, most of them not that good, the AT 3035 has excellent reviews, specially for vocals. So I'm basically torn between the Shure SM87A and the AT 3035. Any of you guys have nay of these mic? suggestions, I cannot buy both, and goona record my guitars with line in as i rather invest form the beggining on a good condeser mic that would be good for voice and guitars instead of a few dynamic ones (SM58 or 57) for only the guitar. PLEASE HELP!
