Need a new mic. Selling my KSM for $300 + AT3035, and my Blue Baby Bottle for $450 OBO + comes with the accessories too that cost a hundred bucks (Haven't found a buyer yet, so if ya interested hit me up).

I got a $500 budget. I am however thinking of spending the entire 750.. or 850 however you wanna think of it (can resell the at3035).. but sometimes I'd rather pocket the money.

Oh.. I forgot to add. I'm not totally sure about the sound I want. I just want to know the possibilities out there first. BUT if its necessary.. keep these in mind, full, warm, smooth, or a more hip hop sound.

So what I need is the possibilities for a microphone that comes in $400-550 price range, and also list the price.

Then I need the possibilites from $600 to $850 to think about.

The preamp that I'm using is the E-MU 1820m pres, which I'm keeping.
And my voice clip, unedited, coming from a Shure KSM32 to RNC 1773 to EMu 1820m. www.soundclick.com/knightshift

Mics I have already considered are the AT4040, and the neumann tlm 103.

Enjoy.

Thanks in advance.
