I have not finished the female blind listening test but on male vocals my top three were; 1) Charter Oak SA538 2) Rode Classic II 3) Soundelux Elux 251.
It's amazing what you choose when you don't know what mic your listening to and you only have your ears to rely on. No marketing, No BS, just you and your ears. Each of the mics I listed are very different but they worked according to my ears. We have sent the listening samples to 6 other people we are close with and it is amazing how similar the choices are. I am not saying the three I chose are the best vocal mics for you but I would highly reccomend checking them out. Hope that helps, cheers!
P.S. You can get the Charter Oak for about $1000 to $1400. Check Ebay for the Rode Classic ($1200 - $1300) - The Soundelux you are looking at about $3500 to $4000. |
Would you list the other mics in the test?
How did you do the test (source, chain, monitors)?
