What is a good microphone for voice-over?

I use a Brauner Phantom Classic. In some cases I choose the Gonzo Audio XL251, a Dutch-made tube microphone based on the ELA M 251, a sibling of the Neumann U47 and U67.

The microphone is connected to a Cranborne Audio Camden preamp in an IGS Panzer rack. For AD conversion I then use a Lynx Hilo or a BURL B2 Bomber over a Dante network, with an RME Digiface Dante as the interface.

Monitoring runs from the DA conversion of the Lynx Hilo to a Crane Song Avocet II, then through a Bryston 4B SST2 amp to my beloved PMC MB2S monitors.

On the software side, I sometimes work in Pro Tools (Ultimate), but mostly in Nuendo.
