      I had a couple dream mics until I checked out the brand new Requisite Audio L7. If you need a do-it-all mic then this is the go-to mic. They even took out the need for those bulky mic-preamps, to help free up your work environment with their state of the art technology. Alison Krauss tracked with in on her new album "Windy City". The RA L7 is currently at the special low price of only $18k :) It's the most affordable solution hobbyists and even novice home studio engineers who want to take their craft to the next level.... (LOL! I tried to make it sound as good as possible. Sorry, I had to!)

    without listening, they are all the same with some minor coloration or tone differences that are insignificant and won't make any difference in reality and especially to the audience. difference between mics was maybe 20 years ago where today any cheap mic will suffice for making global pop song hit or as a mic for howard stern and audience won't notice. the only difference there is is condenser vs dynamic mic for sensitivity, where for anyone is better to go with dynamic mics that don't pick up unwanted noises that condensers will
