Mic recommendations for Live Sound

[punkmasterm]

Hello hello!

I've been mixing for concerts/events for 10+ years now and I'm looking to step up my game in the live sound world. I'd like to practice tuning rooms with REM and im looking for a decent mic recommendation. Something above the EMM-6 and below any of the earthworks stuff would be great. I typically work with an x32/m32 and in 500-1500 capacity rooms.

Thanks in advance!

Line Audio Omni1 maybe? Here are some other options. When measuring large rooms make sure to set up the IR truncation so enough of the response is retained.

Thanks, the MM1 is looking pretty solid!

The Audix TM1 comes to mind.

Another good one, thanks!

Studiosixdigital.com have USB mics up to Class 1 MicW. Isemcon. Dayton and Minidsp have USB also. If I were buying one now, I reckon the Neumann. OR...... DPA4061 The HF boosting grille can be popped off, replaced with the foam ball. Very flat, very omni. Very useful e.g. on Grand Piano, Acoustic guitars, Fiddles......
