  MGR/Tubedriver's review "Beyerdynamic TGX-58 Microphone"

  Characteristics

  Overall Opinion

  I have been reviewing this unit as a replacement for my Shure SM58 which bit the dust some time back (only 3 years old!). This unit costs about $270 AUD which is considerably cheaper than the recommended retail price of a SM58!
  
  
  
  This mic is a good performer. It has a nice even top end and a fair bit more sizzle than a '58. It seems to take less "effort" to sing with this mic. I could plug it in with only minor adjustments to my monitoring and FOH settings. It also recorded quite nicely. It would be decent as a hand held for a female singer as it is quite light. It also looks good.
  
  
  
  It doesnt take close hard vocal as well as a '58. I like to sing very close to the mic and this seemed to "push" it a little too much. Backing off has its own issues such as feedback etc. which is a problem in some places we play that have less than desirable acoustic qualities. This mic also has an on/off switch which didnt seem to function properly when I first plugged it in. After a couple of clicks it worked ok but that didnt give me an immediate good impression. You can screw the on/off switch down to lock it, but I dunno....I always associate on/off switches with cheaper mics for some reason. I swapped back and forth between the sm58 and this mic quite often, and found that although the sm58 did sound a little duller, I could seem to get more out of it when required.
  
  
  
  It is quite light, a nice soft lacquer coating (black) and comes with a solid clip to mount on a stand. Looks nice.
  
  
  
  This mic is quite nice. I didnt keep it because we did have a couple of problems due to all the other guys using sm58's so its probably best I keep to the same thing.
  
  
  
  The Beyer would be a great mic for anyone starting up a PA system or for a backup. I didnt try it on instruments so no comment there.

  Characteristics

  Dynamic mic super cardio song. Nice touch, tough appearance. Cheap (75 euros in Germany ...). Super price / quality ratio. For me the best song in the microwave range of tariff.

  Overall Opinion

  I was 6 months from an SM58, not a recent model with a cell made in USA. Instead, the assoc for which I worked, could not put more: ben in the end that's good because otherwise I resumed an SM 58 ... While there, the TG-X58 blew me away: Clarity, punch, feedback rejection ... There's no picture! In the time I used often BF811/812 sennheiser, but the capsules are very fragile, awkward to live it ... The beyer reminds me a lot with the 811 but may be more bodies in the lower spectrum. Loud and clear, it becomes the basis for my microphone singing! And I will buy other, anyway!
  
  And I like the clips beyer microphones at me :-)

  Plbino's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  I use it to conduct interviews to replace a Shure SM58, the hit "soft" body + an off button lock, the presence of a much better voice, sound at hand is comparable, in clear I no longer use the SM58 for this function it replaces ..... plus I paid 33 euros on Ebay!! 90 euros nine ... but with the falling dollar, the risk of being beaten shure in price!

  Overall Opinion

  A very good value for money .... to buy without hesitation

  Characteristics

  Dynamic microphone versatile enough. I use it for the stage and recordings, mainly of the vote.

  Overall Opinion

  This is a great microphone. To compare with other dynamic mics, I'd say I find it much better (the voice) that the Sennheiser. I especially like his sharp, nor too low (even with a windscreen) or too aggressive. For the price (100 euros, I think), I certainly would do the same choice!
