Mic for vocals, acoustic guitar, piano

fishman · 23rd February 2005

Was thinking of the M930 Gefell mic (will be stereo when I start recording piano) - primarily for vocals and acoustic guitar. Good idea? Can anyone think of any better choices in this price range?

thanks

I'm not familiar w/ that model Geffel, but I've heard good things. I had a LDC Geffel M582 that was pretty awesome, though I ended up selling it.

I guess you're set on SDC though?

What's you're room like?
If it's a good sounding one, the Advenson/Stapes will come in handy (omnis)

My favorite mics that I own though, and I don't have a whole lot are my Sennheiser MD421 and my Soundelux U195. Both of those have been dynamite on all the sources you mentioned, though in different ways.
I can't really say "go buy them" because I havn't had the opportunity to try a lot of mics but IMO
neither of these mics would be a deterrant in getting a beutiful sound if the source is good

It's kinda funny, I saw the title of the thread, and was immediately going to say "Gefell UM75". Not real sure how the M930 compares, as I haven't A/Bed them, but if there's enough 'family resemblance' then you're on the right track.
