polar figure: what to buy?
Assuming you've in mind the difference between dynamic and condenser microphones, I know some parameters and have a budget to spend, there is virtually to decide what to buy. Here are some products on the market divided by use:
- Item:
* Shure SM58 Mic Cardioid dynamic. And 'the standard for live, but is also used for reg. with good results. "The strength of construction, a proven shock mount system, and a steel mesh grille ensure consistency of performance, even when handling without delicacy." Approximately € 100 *
SM ProAudio MC01: Mic cond. cardioid. Capture a very natural sound, full of nuances. Elegant, also includes anti-shock. "A wide frequency response, accurate response curve, large dynamic range and low distortion." Approximately € 120
* Audio Technica 2020: Mic Cond. cardioid. Its price / quality ratio is really exceptional. Wide dynamic range. "Low-mass diaphragm for extended frequency response and superior transient response." Approximately € 95
- guitar or bass:
* Shure SM57 Mic Cardioid dynamic. And 'the consideration of the SM58, made especially for string instruments but drums (toms, snare drum). Good for acoustic sounds is perfect for those amplified. "It has a cardioid pickup pattern very effectively isolates the main sound source while minimizing background noise." 95 € *
Behringer c2: Cardioid condenser mic. Likely to cost (69 pair) and brand could be considered very low bill and inadvisable. Instead, the experience tends to reassess and make them ideal for those who can not spend more. There will be very effective on transients but the sound is really good pasta.
- Battery: * Audio Technica
mb/dk5: Set of mic for drums. Probably the best in their price range (150 €). They are sold with the attacks (which saves you quite a bit).
* Other kits: Below 200 € there are different kits. These include: MSD 7 (190 €, 7 pieces), Proel DMSbig 7 (200 €, 7 pieces), Samson (160 Euros).
* Without kit: You could not buy a kit but add a mic to mic allla time. This will cost you much more. For Tom could take 5 SM57 (total about 500 €!) Or cheaper Proel DM822 5 (total € 80). For plates 2 (if you want to make serious also 3) Scenic: 2 Proel CM600 (total € 70) or 2 Behringer C2 (the same section of the guitar, the pair € 70)
If you do not have much experience turn around internet seeking additional comments and ask friends who have tried a few. Good luck!
