Hi,

Keylab has nothing to do with this.
Vocoder V is a piece of software outside Keylab.

Please read Vocoder Vs manual chapter 2 to 3.
Perhaps this also helps: https://www.arturia.com/faq/vocoderv/vocoder-v-how-to-setup-a-usb-microphone

I'm not sure which kind of recommendations you are looking for. As long as the microphone will show up in Vocoder V, then you can use it.
Your soundcard may be more important.

In example i have a SE Electronics microphone that use phantom power connected to my external USB soundcard with XLR connections. That work fine.

If you need certain quality info about different microphones, then i suggest you look and ask elsewhere.

Keep in mind that you can't use Vocoder V's microphone input/ sidechain in all DAWs - at least not yet. There is a DAW list in  Vocoder Vs manual in the above mentioned chapter.

I can't help further with this.

Hi LBH
Thanks for the reply - forgot to check the manual reference for Vocoder so thanks for highlighting it here.
I will have a look at what I have to had at moment to see if I can use them with the Vocoder
