Sound effects mic

petsematary · 18th December 2006

I want to expand my mic collection with a new mic. I'm thinking of buying something that could work for sfx recordings in a studio (mostly studios anyway) setting. Any ideas on a multi-purpose sfx mic? I've an Sm7b and a 414 in my home studio at the moment.

I've noticed EV has one called RE200. Looks interesting.

Probably not what you're looking for but, if you want something different, perhaps check out the copperphone. Otherwise, maybe a ribbon mic would be a nice addition; or one of those clip-on lapel mics. I don't think you really need a specific mic for sound effects - just experiment.

You know, a ribbon just might be it. The copperphone's super cool also. Would be perfect for phone-style radio stuff, like fake call-ins. I should have one of those, too. Aren't they actually made&sold by a 'slut??
