I could have made an easier title and just say sound professionals mic suggestions?
With that said, I am looking into buying new mics. Those three are what I am debating, SP- CMC-8 , SP-CMC-9 , SP-CMC-4U. However, I am open to other suggestions.
I usually stealth indoor venues shows ranging from a few hundred people in attendance to sometimes large scale shows.
I know personal choice is the best indicator to buy, so I have been listening to shows using different mics but am open to anyone's suggestions. Here's where I am at and looking for:
I am curious, with a budget of no more than $500, which would be the best choice of the mics stated above, or any other suggested mics? I prefer a cleaner sound. While most shows I record are in venues of about 1,000-3,000, sometimes I am in larger arenas, so is there mic that would be better in either or both environments? How about further back in an arena?
I currently own an Edirol 09 and CA-9200 battery box, but am open to buy another power supply. I also already own omni's, so am looking for new cards currently.
