I am locking for a usable Large-diaphragm Microphone for clean vocals,screaming , guitar , room,..

I found this two mics:

http://www.thomann.de/gb/se_electronics_se_2200a_limited_edition.htm

But whats the difference?

What are other good mics in this price range 100-170 bucks? (tight budget )

I use a Presonus Firepod , would a M-AUDIO DMP 3 preamp make my DI's , Vocals noticeable better (soundwise)?

thanks!

According to the website it says that the a has 'a' low cut filter but in the pictures it looks like they both do?

I own an SE Electronics X1 and it's probably one of my better purchases mic-wise I've actually used it for everything prettymuch. It sounds crisp and clear on vocals (including screaming) and it does justice acoustic guitars. I recorded a shitty ancient nylon string acoustic with it and sounded taaasty, I've even used it as a room mic and centre OH for drums and really surprisingly it sounded pretty good on that too. The bundle I got came with their metal pop shield (which was crap I put some old tights over it) and their reflection filter which has been really really useful for vox. The 2000/a sounds like it would be awesome and from what I know of SE definate value for money.

Hope this has helped out a bit.

Se x1 is not a good microphone. Just what you would expect from a cheap condenser. Go for a sm7b which can be with you for life.

Thanks for your suggestions! I think i'll buy the Sm7b!

I also want clearer/better DI's than with only my Presonus Firepod.
Should I buy a good DI box or a Mic/Instr. Preamp like the M Audio DMP3 for Guitar and Mic?
