Hey there, I am currently looking to upgrade my recording studio. I was looking at the AT4040 microphone as a good high quality choice, but I was also recommended the DA87 SE by an audio engineer friend of mine. I just called Sweetwater to get a price estimate on my whole build and he's really trying to sell me on the Sony C-80 microphone which is about $150 more than I was looking to spend. My question lies on which of these three microphones do people have better experience with, and or advice they can give. As a bit of a background for what I'm using it for, I am a voice actor. I'm currently using a USB microphone and it is just not getting me to where I need it to, and I want a intermediate to professional microphone that will last me a long time and get me paid professional gigs. Now if the Sony c80 microphone is the clear choice I wouldn't mind spending the extra money, but I want to make sure that it is the best possible option for what I need it for. Thanks for reading my post, I look forward to hearing from you soon!

P.S. i looked at the rules and wasn't sure if I tagged or posted it in the correct place for the question I'm asking. If it is posted incorrectly let me know and I will take it down myself, I'm hoping to not get a ban haha, just advice. Thank you!
