A few years back while still a student, I bought a 3-pack of Behringer XM1800S dynamic mics for £25 or something like that. I guess they're a similar standard to the PG58. http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/XM1800S.aspx I've made quite a few musical recordings with them, and while you *can* tell the difference between them and more expensive condenser mics, who is actually listening for that? Good music / a good band will sound good no matter what microphones you use. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
