Reddit mentions of AKG D5 Vocal Dynamic Microphone

In your situation, I'd get a good mixer, like this one or this one, and out of those mics, I'd skip all of them and get a good dynamic mic instead. I use the AKG D5 and love it. I used the audio technica ATR2100, shure SM57 and SM58 as well, and liked the D5 over all of them.

Edit; Actually, reading your post again, a good usb audio interface will do you well too, though you won't have as many adjustments as a mixer will give you.

AKG D5

I wouldn't say big, but definitely noticeable to my ears over the MXL 770 condenser I was using. I think I sounded better with the condenser but the echo was apparent and coloring it, while my dynamic rarely picks up echo and people have said it's more crisp even though I think it has a relatively muddy quality.

I've stuck with it because echos suck, haha. I got a Shure SM57 (with an expensive foam topper), but a friend of mine (not into LPs, just a voice actor) uses a, AKG D5 which, in my opinion, sounds quite a bit cleaner. See if you can find a comparison video or demo them yourself at a music shop.

What kind of background noise? Mine will pick up key and mouseclicks sometimes, but that's a problem with pretty much all condenser mics. If you want to isolate background noise to a minimum, I would get the AKG D5 with a phantom power box. That's the mic I'm going to get when I return to the US
