I have a very small budget. I'd like to get better acoustic guitar recordings while being able to use the same mic for other things as they come up. I've been reading reviews and all of these below seem to be comparable in quality. Can any one here make any recommendations? Here are the one is been looking at.
Sennheiser e614 supercardiod $99 might be best for live/stage.
AKG P170 cardioid $99 might be most versatile because it's simply cardioid.
CAD GLX1200 $99
ElectroVoice PL37 cardioid $69
Or maybe get a matched pair.
Samson CO2 Stereo Pair $108 Amazon
CAD CM217 pair $99. Has very good reviews.
Runner ups;
Behringer C2 pair $59
Behringer C4
Behringer B5


Does the noise in your head bother me ?
