My considerations, if anyone has any reason why any of these suck clue me in please:
Used Options:
AKG 414: B-ULS, B XL IIC, or B TL II <---- Anyone know the difference? The only 414 that is out of the question obviously is the EB, plus wouldn't be all that stoked on owning a vinatage mic.
TLM 103 MT (because I dig black
)
Boch Audio 195 (if I can find one used)
AT4047MP (again if I can find one used)
M Audio Sputnik
New options:
AKG C214
AT4050 (what do you prefer if you have heard both this mic and the 47?)
AT4047SV
TLM102
AKG perception 820
That's really it, I'm sort of looking for something workhorse. Doesn't have to work on everything, but doesn't just work on one thing well type of deal here.
