AKG D880
Scott said some time ago that he likes the AKG D880, so I bought one for voice
over. While Scott can hear things infinitely better than I can, I really do like the sound of this mic, especially for the price. Since it's discontinued, which AKG mic replaced it? Isn't there likely a current model that's virtually identical? Same capsule? I got it for $46 including shipping AND a Shure Popper Stopper, which sells for $35, so I'm impressed. If I can find a few more for cheap, I'm probably going to buy them. Once again, the SM58s are my least favorite mic of all in this category. Thanks, Scott! |

This one was $36 shipped. Maybe I'll stop at 4. That seems like a good number for a mic locker. Now, does anybody know why AKG made a D310? Would it ever be considered the BEST mic for the application? It seems quite vanilla to me. |
