What is the best condenser microphone that you can recommend as an
addition to my recording studio? I want a *professional quality
microphone that can capture mainly vocals and acoustic guitar, in a
crisp, clean, warm, and loud manner. I would prefer that it cost
under $5,000. Don't worry about style, I just want it to sound
absolutely breathtaking.

Thanks

AKG C-480B/ULS with your choice of capsules.
(omni,card,hyper,short or long shotgun)

Add a Stedman or similar pop shield for vocal.

You ought to be able to get a pair with one of each cap with your
budget.

You should try the new Nuemanbringer U47MX Pro 2ai. It automatically
corrects all pitch to correct pitch, adds a ton of warmth (some people
like to turn the air conditioner down a little when they use it) and
it sparkles the top end while fattening up the bottom. Be careful when
you use it because it can cause shortness of breath and high
cholestrial. Their made overseas but don't buy the import model. You
can tell the ones made in the USA by the twist off top and lower
alcohol levels. They usually go for about 2000 at guitar center but if
you look hard you can spend more.

You sound oddly trollish.

Ignoring the fact that there are significant audible differences among
mics...

It seems to me that what you want depends more on having the appropriate
acoustic, and capturing it in the recording, than it does on having the
"best" microphone.

There is a new website for that - MicMatch.com

You can talk on the phone and answer a few questions and it will pair
you up with the perfect matched pair for you. Don't be fooled by those
other 900 sites!

The AKG C12VR,http://www.akg.com/site/products/pow...210,nodeid,2,_...,
will do what you want. And it's only $4495 fromhttp://www.economik.com/index.php?pr=298. However, you may be able to find
it at a more expensive price if you search diligently

Don't let the naysayers of this thread discourage you. Just remember to turn
the gain knob all the way to the right. The level indicator should alway be
in the "red." Red is good

I thought that VR in the AKG stood for "Very Rotten".

If you have five large to spend on a microphone, I would seriously
look at a Neumann M149.

It is very nice. Not suited for everything, but isn't going to sound
like crap on anything.

If this entire thread is a trolling expedition, then fololow the
previous advice about keeping everything in the red.

Thanks for your help

They're charging 5 large just to look at 'em these days - Dang!
