    i would recommend the rode nt 5's . not that dissimilar to the neumann 184's.

    I have the 184's and ab'd them with a mate of mine's nt5's and while the nt5's were slightly more metallic sounding, it was nothing a tiny bit of eq couldn't get rid of.

    mmmm, that's limiting ok.

    Have a look at the sE range. Musicmaker have the range in there (taking it you have D2 access!)

    And before the Marketing Police descend, we supply them!

    For the list of applications you have there I'd defintely buy 1 shure sm57 & 1 shure sm58. They get mentioned a lot round these parts and it's for very good reason. Better to have 2 mics you'll never want to sell again than one you'll out grow quickly. Always good to have 2 mics anyway for stereo recording, even if they are different.

    True, they'll always be used
