High-value vocal mic for a warmer sound

nomraun · 16th February 2008

Hello im looking for a vocal mic/ large diaphragm in general that is under $700 that will add a little bit of warmth/oldness to the sound.

If you find it pm me, and ill give you my address so you can send it to me right away. Thanks!

Koool thanks!

would a tube like the T3 be good for a wide range of vocals?

my fav bang for the buck by a LONG shot is the gt-67 by groove tubes.

multi-pattern ldc tube - KICKS ASS. got the orig version (alesis am62) on ebay = $325!!

AWESOME VOCAL mic, and handles some serious spls and proximity -
crispy, clear, punchy - KILLER!

well i'm not a expert at this but to me the T#3 for the price is pretty nice.It is brite and has warmth.Some like the MXL ME67 too .Ithink that the right number.
Take a walk over to these forums and talk to Dan(dot) and Harvey Gerst they have more know how than me.I think Harvey has some samples of the T#3

Cheap condensers are almost all too bright for my taste.

In that price range I'd be looking at some of the better dynamics. A favorite of mine has been the Beyer M-88.

The T3 IS bright, like an AKG C12. The V67 is a darker, and the MXL 960 is darker still. The ADK Hamburg is not bright. The Joe Meeks JM47a is also a good darker mic choice.
