The Shure KSM44 is a high quality condenser microphone perfect for recording vocals and acoustic instruments. It retails at over $1500 but can generally be found for about $800 making it a more affordable alternative to the Neumann U87. You may be able to find it for less if you get it used and since it's such a durable microphone that may be a good option.
