Thought I’d drop in over here—Yeah, yeah, yeah—you said not to, but I’m going to confuse you anyway with more choices… *evil grin*

Look into the following:

AKG 441 with its changeable patterns is a standard.

The ‘old’ C 451 series is a workhorse and multi-purpose.

The Schoeps system is mo’ bettah than AKG, but mo’ $$$$.00

If you are going to look into PZM’s, see both the Crown line and TRAM.

TRAM, one of the better vocal mics, can be used as a PZM. They are predominately used as one of the standard vocal mics in the film industry, either hardwired or wireless.

No connection w/TRAM, other than being a satisfied user.

Finally, IMHO, one of the ‘best’ (world class) mics for chorale or symphonic are the DPA 40XX series, but alas are $$$$$.00

No connection w/DPA, other than being a very satisfied user.

We use all of these… And SM's as well. *Grins*
