Classic Avalon VT-737sp
We own
the classic version pictured above:) this is really all
you need...has a "close-up" round sound. The Avalon
VT-737sp specifically designed as a tube preamp and
has the unique warm sound that only tubes can deliver.
The Avalon 737 delivers a killer midrange presence that is
ideal for voiceovers. A perfect match for the Sennheiser
MKH 416, Neumann TLM-103 and the Neumann U87 and as a
matter of fact.. any quality condenser microphone! Tube
Microphone Preamplifier, Opto-compressor, and Sweep
Equalizer... Your Voice overs will sound like melted
butter. anything from here on...were just splitting
hairs...

XLR to USB - CEntrance MicPort Pro - Shure
X2U - Blue Microphones Icicle
Don't let the size fool ya... connect any XLR microphone directly into your computer via USB. the CEntrance MicPort Pro
absolutly kicks ass with 24-bit/96kHz... this can go
head to head with USB Audio Interfaces that cost 3 or 4
times more. If you need 24-bit/96kHz audio...
the CEntrance MicPort Pro is the only choice in this
size. Also check out the Shure X2U 16-bit/48kHz and the Blue Icicle
16-bit/48kHz. For for low-budget with awesome results...
I recomend anyone of these 3 units for voice over
talents.
CEntrance MicPort Pro price
$149
Shure X2U price $99
Blue Icicle price
