Good evening folks.
First of all i want to say "hello" to all of you, Im new here. I am 29 years old and from germany.
At the moment i make a educ. qualification as an electrician.
I never thought that this would help me with my hobby, but here i am now, to make my first
microphone by myself or at least build a kit or something like that.
1-2 weeks now I am reading a lot on this Board as a guest.
(especially about u87 clones and moddings for akg perceptions and the at2020.)
In my freetime i like to do a lot of RnB and a little bit of rap music.
At the moment i am just using a AT2020 microphone into a Audient iD4
with a Aston mic-screen.
Now is the point where i want to start to professionalize my equipment.
Today i bought some´wood and foam to build my own acoustic elements.
After i finish them i want to start with a better microphone.
I am wondering what is the best bang for the buck at the moment to get a
more professional sounding micrphone?
I read a lot about the MicAndMod U87 DIY Kit, or the AT2020 Mod Kit from mic-parts.
Also what i found very interesting are the threads here about the Manley Ref-C and how you
can make a "clone" from this 3000€ microphone for like 300€.
Im not quite sure what to get and where to start with. My Budget ist like 800-1000€.
What do you think is the best option at the moment? My mind is widely open for a cheaper budget if possible.
I would use this microphone only for vocals.
Greetings
