yet another low cost mic opinions post
It's been done before, but I am needing opinions on a few low cost LDCs. I am looking for a new mic for vocals and accoustics mainly. My choices so far are all in the less than $300 range:
Rode NT-1A AT 2020 AT 3035 AT 4040 CAD GXL 2200/1200 (package) MXL V69 MXL V63M MXL 990/991 (package) Studio Projects C1 (heck their entire line) Any comparisons are most welcome. I have listened to the Listening Sessions and a few other mp3 comparison sites, but some real world opinions would be nice. Thanks.

Re: yet another low cost mic opinions post
The Apex sounds alright. Have you used any of the others and found them to be lacking? The MXL 990, for instance, sounds a bit boxy compared to others on the Listening Sessions site. Also, they use the C1 on an accoustic and it didn't sound as good as it did with vocals. The NT-1A sounds really clear and bright, which can be good and bad with certain vocals while the MXL V69 has more character than some of the others (which can be good and bad as well).

Re: yet another low cost mic opinions post
Robert,
No I haven't used any others. The 460 was borrowed from my supplier for evaluation. It sounded pretty good on flugehorn...and the session had to move on, so did not try it on anything else. For the price though...( can $ 250 )hard to beat ! Are you following this thread ? cheers,

Posted a new sample with the 460 on guitars, and Vox. Very happy with it.
It is on the thread linked above. - Doc
