So I cant seem to find the right mic for me. This is what I'm looking for..
$200-$400
Dynamic mic I will be running with my Warm eq73 (neve style preamp).
Looking for a warm,dark mic to use live and also in the home studio/demos.
a good proximity effect so I can move in to really push the lows is important.
A little dirty even,.. definitely not bright or clean.
Something with a ["slower" "compact" "less clear" "looser"] response/feel, if that makes sense.
I like a big dip around 3k and an overall cut in mid highs & highs...
A smooth, flat response that rolls off (or at lease flattens) the highs along with
I like cardoid opposed to Hyper cardoid.
I like to sing typically with my lip touching the mic.
I'm wondering is its gotta be a Large diaphragm mic to give me what I'm looking for? Maybe not necessarily though?
If you have any ideas I'd love to hear em.
I've used sm57 and sm58 for years but too harsh on the highs and not enough lows - mid lows. I have to eq the heck outta em.
Sm7B is a good choice but was hoping I could find something in more of a typical dynamic mic style/shape.
m88 looks interesting but since I sing right up on (touching) the mic that might not be a great choice. too low with the proximity?
Some electro voice mics look interesting but not sure they have the low end and/or proximity I'm looking for to get low when I need to.
I sang into my sure beta52 the other day and I really liked what I got from my vocals which surprised me and got me thinkin..
Love to hear some feedback
Thanks a bunch!
