as dog chao says, gear for VO doesnt matter.

what does matter is having a pro, well designed, great sounding, nice looking, aconditioned vocal booth, a comfortable lounge and nice furniture. also, a good tea machine (I mean electric water boiler, teakane, nice cups, all sorts of tea, etc)

as for mics, senh 416 and neumann U87 are the gold standards. quality closed cans are insdispensable (akg, senh, beyer). As for the rest, as long as it's decent equipment, pretty anything will do. An apogee ensemble for instance, gives you everything you need in one cheap box.








edit: i find it funny to hear people asking about which mic for VO, when the booth's door alone is going to cost $4k.
