I use 2 different ones depending on what I'm doing (voice recording vs live broadcasting).

 

MXL990 for Live Webcasting.

And then for voice recording the Behringer B1

some cheap condensers as mentioned here already are quite good for overall usage.

 

my main mics are a rode NT1 and a audio technica AT2020. I also have some vintage mics, a RCA BK5-B and a altec 639A....both pretty much antiques....also some EV 635's for a "remote" sound when in the studio...which can be very effective....

 

radio broadcast standard is usually a sennheiser HD 421, a electrovoice RE 20 or a shure SM7. To my mind, these are too expensive for my budget and in most cases, some decent EQ can achieve a similar result. Would I love to have one of each, sure, but not practical.

 

You'll get many opinions for mics, but it's very subjective. How many listeners really care? very few. As long as you sound reasonably good, full and rich with no tinny sound, whatever you use should work.

You read my mind!

I use a shure SM7.
