Which Condenser is better?

[alternateadrian]

For those of you with experience with condensers, which one would be more worthwhile?

The AKG C 214?

Or the AKG Perception 420?

Both are the same price range. I already own an AKG Perception 420, and was wondering if I should swap now, or wait for a better, higher end mic, like an AT4050.

Any thoughts are welcome! Thanks!

AT4040?

What?

Im not very educated about AKG mics but i think the cheap one will do just fine until u get the AT4040. I've recorded a lot of vocals with a SM57, so most decent mics will work just fine if u know what u are doing

I'll say it again, the AT2020 is a fantastic mic for 100 bucks. But out of those two, I'd say the C 214, my friend loves his.

I have the Perception 220, I love it. It does a lot well. I mean, it's not the perfect mic obviously, but it sounds good.
