Default New ~200-dollar condenser microphone

We need to buy a pair of LDC's soon--In the 200 dollar range. The
application is voice-over work.

I was thinking of AT-3035s since I have one at home and love it. Can any
one give me something else to research?

Thanks,
Paul

From what I hear th Electro-Voice RE20 is the way to go for
voiceovers. It isn't a condernser though.

Thanks,

Take a walk in my mic review archives. They are on my website.

I bought an SP-1 last time you mentioned it. $39 bucks, I think. I needed
a fourth VO mike for a production I was working on... an announcer and
several character voices. I used it on both female and male actor voices.
The SP-1 sounded good. Way better than $39. And, if it is $50 now, it's
still a good deal.

thanks for the replies.

We already have an RE-20, but wanted condensers. Thanks for all the
suggestions. Seems that MCA is worth a $50 gamble.

The MCA is one of the Shanghai mikes. The Shanghai products come in two
basic sorts: the kind with transformers and the kind without. The
transformerless ones tend to sell for less and tend to sound better, on
the whole.

Why gamble? Buy a good mic. Life's too short.
