Looking for a new vocal micrphone !!

Hi im planing tp buy a new mic for vocals !! I already have a newman TLM103 but i can find the more airy an open sound that i want. I hear about few mic : 1. Shure KSM32 2. Audio technica AT4050 3. AKG C414 Thanks !!

Shure Sm7b will knock you out. Make sure you have a great pre though. I've used a solo 610 and a Dav and it sounds fantastic.

Those are all decent mics but you should remember, its not JUST the mic. Its a combination of mic, preamp AND the voice or instrument(which is why there really is no absolute best choice here). I have the MXL V69 Mogami tube mic which sounds good thru a class A solid state pre(Focusrite ISA428). I also have a TLM49 which sounds good thru a UA-610(as does my AT2020 which is under $100!). Rode has some solid mics and the new Mojave $1000 mic has gotten great reviews. There are differences in the various AKG 414 variants as well. If you can find an AT4060 tube mic, that's another good one. How much money can you afford? That will help to narrow the field a bit.

Ok ! For mic pre im using an avalon 2022 Thanks !

SM7B rocks. The preamp really depends on the singer as well as the mic. SM7B is great for rock through a nice pre (API, Neve) and then hit it with a distressor or another nice compressor and you have a great rock sound. Not a good fit for all, but really surprising. I would think it depends on the style you are tracking. Doc

The M-Audio Sputnik is worth checking out. For the price it's surprising.

Thanks again !
