Condenser microphone

[Jan Lund Thomsen]

After recording 36 episodes of the Take-away using a Shure PG58 dynamic microphone I'm ready upgrade to a condenser. The only problem is that I have no idea what to get, except that it has to have some some of cardioid pattern to make sure that it doesn't pick up Makke's vocals when we're recording future podcasts.

Any input would be appreciated.

Edit: Budget is roughly 1.000 DKK (135 EUR/190 USD/115 GBP), but if thats completely unrealistic I'm willing to go up to 1.500 DKK.

Preferably less than 1.000 DKK (135 EUR/190 USD/115 GBP), but if thats completely unrealistic I'm willing to go up to 1.500 DKK.

For that budget, you can't expect miracles, but this two are very good fellows:

- Audio Technica AT 2020
- AKG C 2000B

Really recommended.

Not expecting miracles - sound quality-wise I'm actually well happy with the Shure PG58. However, we had to jump through a fair amount of hoops in both hardware & software to get our vocals to the same level on episode 44. Which is why my vocals ended up with too much static for my liking.

Will check out the Behringer B-1 and the Audio-Technica AT2020. The local 4Sound has both for roughly 120 EUR.
