[Elecraft] Recording mic (OT ...New guy checking in...(a bit OT))

[ON4WIX]

Now this is a nice OT posting...
If you're looking into a nice set of mics for recording, don't forget to 
check out the Neumann KM184s. They're not too large and sound awesome. I've 
got a matched pair that I use regularly on live gigs and recordings and they 
take just about anything you throw at them (except for liquids, of course).
Oh, and Wayne, if you're looking for a nice vocal mike, check out the 
Neumann KSM105.
All these mikes are modestly priced (for Neumann's standards anyway) and are 
well worth the investment.
That having been said, I agree that a couple of SM57's or SM58's are a fb 
choice for all-round use. Ditto for Sennheiser 604's (try those on drums 
and/or percussion)
