Any decent cheap(er) mics for recording acoustic guitar?
Just a quick list:
Shure SM57 – Studio workhorse, very affordable and surprisingly good on acoustic guitar
AKG C414 (XLS or XLII) – Another studio workhorse. Not budget but not high end (price) either. Good on just about everything
Neumann KM184 – Similar price to the AKG, a bit more specialist but great on acoustic guitar. Needs “shaping” carefully as can be a bit bright.
I look forward to others opinions on this too, might find a new favorite.
