Tone, I originally had that mic downward as i I was considering, and and then got scared abroad by everyone's description of it as an "all-around" mic. Since I'one thousand but looking for a mic for a male vocalisation, did I make a fault dismissing it likewise early? I heard "all-around" and immediately my mind processed that it doesn't practice any 1 matter Really well. The dangers of subconscious interpretation.

It does

everything well. That's why it'southward a workhorse mic for any studio that has one...or two. IMHO it's ane of the best mics AKG ever made...I rank it in the top 3.
And the other two are unaffordable for mere mortals.

You got one I can buy in my $750-$1500 range? I'll purchase it immediately.

There are many options. Neumann invented the FET mic considering a FET transistor functions almost the same manner equally a tube - except that it is solid-state. When pedal makers make "amp in a box" pedals they generally use FET transistors to supervene upon the tubes found in a guitar amp (preamp section). Otherwise the rest of the circuit is much the same. (FETs apply smaller voltages than tubes, so you don't need standalone power supplies).

Anyone accept experience with the Lauten Audio Atlantis, Telefunken Copperhead, Mojave 301, or fifty-fifty the Shure KSM44A?

Alas I did not use it on vocals, but I did a session last autumn with the Copperhead on acoustic (and we used it for a center pulsate room mic as well). I thought it sounded fantastic. Very full bodied, lots of particular but smooth on the top end. Maybe a bit as well much low end for baritone phonation, but then again if you could work the mic a trivial further away then information technology could be perfect.

I accept used the KSM-32 extensively......love it on guitar cabs and male and female vocals.
Sounds great peculiarly with a nice pre.

I'm not concerned about whether I'thou recording in my business firm or a studio, I'd like the all-time mic I can afford.
How would you compare the Origin to the AKG C414, Soundelux 195 or Lauren Audio Atlantis?

Don't know. I haven't compared because I wouldn't spend that much. I know my recording buddy, who owns a agglomeration of expensive mics, oftentimes will utilize the Aston.

I'thousand not concerned nearly whether I'yard recording in my business firm or a studio, I'd similar the best mic I tin beget.

At that place are several online resources that allow you hear how dissimilar mics sound on the aforementioned vocalism. Information technology won't be your vocalism, only might be useful anyway.
Check out the Clipilator at Zen Pro Sound, or the Vintage King site or YouTube channel.

That said, in the cost range you're shopping at that place are no bad choices. Only at that place are differences. Might be worth starting with something solid and affordable (like an Aston) until the world is open up for business organisation again and live demos are possible.

I'grand thinking I will buy something lightly used. That way, if it doesn't meet expectations, I can re-sell information technology for a minor loss, and get something else.

I'd sell you my C414 but, honestly, now that I've gotten used to information technology, I can't think of annihilation I'd rather have.

I have been super impressed with the Mojave MA-201 fet.

Another vote for the KSM32, it's a damn good mic for the money. Got one used on Ebay for effectually $200.

I would say I agree - I've used the KSM44 and KSM27 and, for the coin, I remember they're a fine mic. Merely I think at the OP's price range, the differences go more apparent.
