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.    |
This is the best advice. Nice looking set up. thumbsup
I do a lot of VO and I use a 4033, but I get requests for a U87.
I know a lot of people use a 416, but I never liked using one unless it's for a program that has already used a 416 or I'm recording ADR.
I also use a FMR RNP and RNC and they work OK, but I do need an EQ.
For my next investment upgrade, I can't decide if I should get a U87 or the SSL Mynx tracking package.
