what mics do you like on YOUR voice?

Best all rounder on me is the Beyer M88TG.
(beats out the Neumann U87ai BTW)
This is the one that would be taken to any pro studios, no matter
how choice their microphone selections, for scratch tracks,
at the very least.

Electro-Voice RE15 or RE16 is cool for retro "ribbonish" vocal vibe
ala Sun Records/Early RCA rock and roll, and some ballads.
Easier microphones to use for self-recording than a M88 also,
as they have the "variable-D" design feature, thereby easier to "place" properly versus a typical unidirectional.

P.S. Am planning to get an actual ribbon eventually, as I'm a huge
fan of their "sound". Might ante up for the AEA R84.

On my voice

Electrovoice 639B

Senn 835

 

[Rev E]

Neumann U47 Fet (absolutely fantastic; never tried the 47 tube)
Sennheiser MD421
RCA DX77 Ribbon (I think that's the model number)
Marshall V69 (my latest, very nice)

For the most part, I favor a slightly darker style mic.

What mics do I like on MY voice??!!

Just about any broken mic that puts out NO SIGNAL.
