I've got a small room to record in, and will be recording only spoken word (reading). I tried the Musician's Friend-recommended MXL 990 but it was far too sensitive, picking up every noise in the neighborhood. I'm currently using an older AKG C1000S but have decided to get a new mixer and mics and just update everything.
I'm really torn on the whole dynamic vs condensor right now. I'm reading that, as a rule, condensor are more sensitive and will tend to pick up the extra sounds that I don't want. MF customers seem to recommend two dynamic mics pretty highly, the Digital Reference DR-LVX2 and the Sennheiser E825S, both dynamic and both right in my price range. Any opinions on this matter? I simply need a mic that is excellent at my application, and won't pick up all sorts of echo and extra background noise like the AKG I tried did.
Thanks in advance for the assistance!
