Audio Technica AT 404 Best condenser mic value hands down.

About 299.99

studio projects C1 or C3.

I have them both and brought them to the studio we use for school and did a shoot out, we AB'd them blind with a U87, A U89, A 414 and a C12!

these mics where run threw the built in mic pre's on the neve console we have.

#2 on all the vovals was the studio projects C series mics, tied for second.
#1.... Well for $12,000 the C12 better win!

but overall, we found these 2 studio project mics did really well, and lived up to the hype.

I would recommend either one of them.

Peace,

Rob

you will need a preamp to power the condensor mic, also I don't think the at4040 is 299 last I remembered they were goin for around 100 so you'll def have enough money for a preamp
