If your need is for a vocal mic...
Neumann kms105/140/150 are the popular
choices, based on pattern preference.
Depending on what you may consider "affordable" - Shure sm87.
Years ago I used to use EV's pl76/77 battery powered condensors and had
more trouble than they were worth, switching back to dynamics
(Sennheiser 431 and sm58).
There's plenty of newer stuff out now like Audix
that you may want to look into.

good luck

For what instruments, with what tonal characteristics? What is affordable?

1. Audio-Technica AE5400. As Col. Potter said, "Not enough Os in
'smoooooth!'"

http://audiotechnica.com/prodpro/profiles/AE5400.html


2. AKG C535. Well known, widely respected. Brighter than some, but in
a good way, and a tight pattern keeps it from being a feedback problem.

3. Neumann KMS105. Maybe as good as it gets. Not "cheap," but a lotta
mic for what you pay.

Define "affordable"... I think the Microtech Gefell M-900 [or M-910
which is a handheld hyper-cardioid] is generally my favorite
condensator mic for most vocals... but it really does depend on the
singer...

Look into the Rode S1. Great handheld for about $300. Make sure you have
phontom power.

I have one. Less peaky and smoother than a 58, low proximity effect, and
very difficult to pppop.

Pppop effects while using a condensator mic live with phontom power is
one of the most cromulent things I've dealt with. It embiggens me.

Damnit. Now all my co-workers think I'm a nut, sitting over here
laughing by myself.
