next microphone

feyshay · 13th April 2006

I do mostly acoustic guitar, voice, elec guitar amp.
I currently have the following:
AT 4050
Shure SM7
Shure SM57

What would be the next best step in microphone (now going into the $1000 range if needed)--ribbon, higher end condenser. I was thinking of a Kiwi.

You can think about a Kiwi all day long, but all $1,000 would get you would be a 50% downpayment on a layaway.

Clarification with price--I'm looking at the range of at least $1000 but not over $2000. I think that puts me in the range of some really nice mics, including used ones.

The Lawson L47MP is a great sounding and versatile mic. It is around $2K. I've had one for several years and really like it.

Ill second the lawson but say that you could use some small condensers like earthworks, schoeps or even the cheaper AT 4041/4051. I would get a pair. And a ribbon mic such as one of the royers or a beyer 160.
