Alright, I know almost nothing about mics
But I do know that my current one really sucks, and I’m having a bit of trouble deciding between these two:
The Behringer C1U ($47.39 USD) - http://www.amazon.com/Behringer-C1U-Con ... 802&sr=8-1
And the Behringer XM8500 ($21.14 USD) - http://www.amazon.com/Behringer-XM8500- ... 980&sr=8-1
I would be able to afford either and both would work well with my setup, but I would obviously prefer to get the cheaper one, but if the C1U is worth the extra cash then I could quickly go in that direction. My biggest fear is that I would unbox the XM8500 super excited and realize that it isn’t all that I thought it would be.
I’m mainly going to be using whichever one for beatboxing and recording of my viola and violin, perhaps singing if I can actually get good at that. So audiophiles or people that have used one or both before, which one should I go for?
