What is a great sounding condenser microphone for $500 or less?

Asked by JeanPaulSartre (5785points) September 12th, 2010

I do a lot of recording in my home studio and it’s time to upgrade my microphone for vocals. I can run phantom power from my mixing board, so I’m not looking for a USB mic or anything like that. I’m looking for a professional quality mic, preferably with a shock mount. I’ve done a lot of research and it seem that reviews are really mixed, which just makes me think that the majority of people aren’t trained to hear the difference or just can’t tell. I’m looking for your personal experiences with mics with great vocal clarity more than anything else.
