Lower end AKGs?


Recommended Posts

  • Members

Hello

 

Are there any lower end AKG dynamic mics that are worth checking out?

 

I guess i was looking at the D8000S

 

Ya see, I've noticed that Shure 57s and 58s pretty much dominate the cheap microphone industry, but I'm a man of variety.

 

So are there any other $100 or less mics that are good for vocals and/or acoustic guitar?

 

Thanks

 

(pardon the irony of a man who likes variety asking a rather generic, redundant question)

AKG D880 I've had one for about a year (it's my personal mic) and like it very much. Super-cardioid, high-output. When I first got it I A-B'd it with my SM58 and could not believe how dull the Shure sounded in comparison.

 

Why specifically AKG? There are plenty of +/-$100 alternatives by other manufacturers that might be more readily available. I've used both the Sennheiser e835 and the Peavey PVM22 and liked them both.

 

Peace,

D
