Any recommendations? I've gotten really nice acoustic guitar results from my Rode NT1 large diaphragm condenser, and I hear the Rode NT1-A is even better. For a cheap condenser, it's very nice. I think you can get it for around $200 USD. Rode is an Australian company, so maybe they are even cheaper there. Maybe you can find a used NT1 somewhere, and a used SM-58 for vocals if you record both at the same time. Otherwise the NT1 works great for vocals, too. vic
Rode mic's are way more expensive than that here. about 5 times a mxl 603! One of these http://www.smproaudio.com/PR4v.htm seems like the mic pre for the job. Though the local shop had them at way more than RRP and wasn't keen to sell them to me. SM pro are a melbourne company though so i might be able to pester them directly for a better price. Anyone used there gear?
