I am trying to decide on a new mic for recording at home. I am no pro but this is a full time hobby. I just picked up an FMR RNC and an FMR RNP, and now I need a primary vocal mic that also works well with acoustic guitar.
I had a ksm-27 but just sold it and am looking at the rode k-2, the akg 414b-uls, and the shure ksm44. I know it is impossible for someone to say 'this is the mic to get hands down' but since I can't go check out how these sound on my voice, your input would be great. Any other mics in the up to $700ish price range that you might like would be great to hear about too.
If you want to hear what I sound like and what I have done, check out my myspace page- /shutterfish -you can get a feel for my voice. I want something that has presence and picks up those subtle nuances of voice, but I don't want anything too hot or overly hyped.
I would really appreciate your opinions. Just an fyi I am leaning toward the k-2 right now- maybe a cheaper rode would do though?
