AE 6100 : Top quality!

When there is a discussion about mics, many "singers" just jump on the wagon of the two usual brands, a bit like a football supporters, there is the team A and the Team B. When my Beta58 was almost 20 years I thought it was time to replace it. Instead of jumping on the traditional wagons, I decided to spend some time researching everything, especially professional singers (the kind who fill arenas) that my timbre is closer to. I bumped into this Audia-Technica a couple of times. If it is good enough for Elton John, it should be good enough for me. What a jump in sound quality! I'm not a Pavarotti, but this mic actually made a noticeable difference. I sound much better and crisp. Totally fan of my new mic! Now, as advice, the best mic for me (or Elton John :) is not necessarily the best for you or your voice. Mics are like shoes, not all the models fit the same feet. Research singers with a similar timbre as you, try different mics, and most of all, don't buy a mic just because someone told you *it is the best*.
