I got a pair of SP-CMC-2s.... im gonna hold on to these to use as Stealth mics for when taping isn't allowed.
But now that I've been workin all summer, i got some extra cash to drop a new set up.
Im still fairly new to this, so ill list what im looking for and if you guys can point me in the right direction, that would be great.
- Im looking for crisp, clear sound that will not pick up much crowd chatter (so i guess cardiods? whats the dif between cardiods and hypercardiods?)
- I'll be using my iRiver IHP-140 for recording.
- Price range.... lets say around 550 total for the whole set up.
- I now run TheRootsLive.com, so if you are wondering what type of music this is for, mostly The Roots...
I've been looking at AKG C 1000s, and some Schoeps... but not really sure which model is the best for the Schoeps.
Would I also need a pre or phantom power?
I'm looking to buy now so I can test them out... will be needing them for sure by 9/16 for that next show.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
