Is there one?

Not really. Are you recording vocals? Consider using a dynamic. You could also hang blankets around you to muffle reflections from the room.

Yea Bob, Vocals.

Cardoid pattern might help if your mic has that setting. If not cardoid is usually the default. Lowest gain possible that still picks you up well. Closer proximity to mic.
If you can't get rid of it, is there a closet close by? You could go in the closet to record.

Or try something like this:

You could make your own version as well.

If you're recording vocals and don't want the room, the SM7b would be a great choice.
Doesn't sound bad on guitar/bass cab either...

Thanks guys. Yea, I've looked the SM7b. Probably the right idea. Gearslutz doesn't appear too keen on it.

My studio is really small. I've treated it quite a bit but there is still the computer noise, A/C sometimes etc.
Anyway, thanks for the thoughts.
