Microphone to record vocals + classical & acoustic guitar

[Contortion]

Hi,

What would be the best microphone to record a classical guitar, an
acoustic guitar and vocals? My budget dosen't permit me to bought
more than one mic.

Dynamic or condenser mic?

Rode NT-1a, NT-3, Audio-Technica, AKG???

Thanks!!

What *is* your budget? A Neumann U-87 would probably do a fine job, but it's
out of most folks' range.

Peace,

AT 4033. I can't say enough good things about this large diaphram condenser.
They've updated it, but the original mic w/shochmount has yet to fail me. I
prefer it over the Neuman U87, sweeter top end and more presence overall

Well it IS only ONE mic! I'd say the U 87 would do the job. But then again
(Bob Cain clause) so would a EV 635.

There are many inexpensive mics out there for sale. You might be able
to buy two mics, which would be better. An MKL 603 small diaphragm
condenser runs about $75. Add an inexpensive large diaphram condenser, for
about $100, such as the Oktava 319. Maybe two mics are within your budget.

AT4033 isn't a "large diaphragm condensor" which is probably why it works so
well in so many applications.
