I said "good". :) There is a world of difference between an RE-20 and most dynamic mics. A few other cool ones are AKG-D220/222/224 (hard to find) and Sennheiser MD-441 (a bit fragile and very expensive). Unlike your average stage vocal mic, any of these can make a useable recording of most source sounds: vocals, drums, amps, acoustic instruments, animals, trucks.... --PW, refugee from rec.audio.pro Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com "Welcome to Muppet Labs, where the future is made - today!"
