Steve Temple Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Can someone please recommend a vocal microphone, for home-recording purposes? I need it to record directly on to a digital 4-track, so it has to have an output socket, and ideally it would be available locally, for under 100.

Stupot Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 If you're on a budget, try www.thomann.de They do USB powered large diaphragm condensers for about 66 and ordinary XLR condensers from 50 up wards. Not high end gear but will do a better job than a sm57 or 58 for recording.Don't let the gear fashionistas put you off either. It's what you do with it, not how much it costs.
