I've been seriously kicking around getting another mic for a different sound I am in love with my C414 II but my guitarist has a brighter and thinner voice than our singer But I don't want to buy another $1000 mic or even a $500 one for that matter(atleast not right now). But for $300 or less I'd mos def look into it. What are the characteristics of the MXL (either)? My 3000B & C414 both have similar characteristics. Would like someting a bit darker I guess.
