Wrong.

I use what works best for a particular singer.

I've used a cheap mics like the Equitek E 300,SM7 and AT 4050 for a long time because it worked best for 2 particular singers that day.

And we had C800G's,U47's an 67's in the same room to choose from.

I always try to post from the area of experience.

I rarely post on heresay.

Agin read above.

I've heard better.

Here more often than not you get what you paid for.

I am not shitting on the mic because of the price.

I am just saying that in the Hi End if you have the means to obtain a so-so mic or renting something better than its worth it.

Especially on a vocal which you can't skimp on.

Personally i feel too much focus is put on mic pres and compressors when tracking vocals and not on the mic itself.

Its the first thing the voice sees.

If this sucks i don't care what expensive chain you got to track with.

Yes. In fact, it is a nice mic at any price.

I own two K2s, as well as other well known mics costing upwards of $5000.

Is a $5000 mic 10x better than a $500 one? Nope, sometimes its worse.

Again if this was the Low end forum fine.

There is forumn for mics on a budget.

Again i thought it wasn't bad.

I am sure on the right vocal it may work.

In my opinion it just wouldn't work on a lot of different voices well.

Again my opinion.
