    Micro Dynamics old and obsolete.
    Recalls the sound of the 50s.

    There was mention of the time when other manufacturers do not know how good microphones.
    Some were a little bit belated. It is because of his former fame he is still sold, but it's theft!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I strongly advises against the purchase of this microphone. You can easily find just as good if not better in other brands.
    Long ago that I no longer used. Besides, I've never liked the sound it gives: severe hyper inflated by the proximity effect, acute non-existent, replaced by an artificial sharp metal.
    I quickly passed Béta58 much better.
    Now I swear by the Béta87 which is almost perfect.

    It is perhaps with the Shure SM 57 The best known of all dynamic microphones: no concert or TV show without anyone sees one in the hands of a singer because the animal is a strength foolproof and it is remarkably resistant to feedback ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had a few years but as my business is essentially the home studio, I use it rarely, preferring to make my record with a static tube.

    We can not fundamentally regret having bought a reference, especially since it was my first microcomputer, but if it over again, even having a dynamic, I would probably have been more willing see the side of the Beyer M88 or're crazy side of the RE20, which would be more useful to me today .…

    Ultra versatile for any use and live!

    OVERALL OPINION

    As far as my memory can go back I think I always knew the Shure SM58!
    Robust, solid, portable even in the pocket of your jeans, it is convenient for the hard lives and also to the pros!

    Cardioid dynamic microphone (it picks up front, not too much on the side and not behind) intended rather to the stage for the song and by extension for any type of local capture.

    As mentioned above, it is very solid.

    It is a versatile microphone that can be used for countless situations ... but 98% live! If it is too tough, it's not for nothing: this microphone like sweat ...

    Every singer has to have one. Ubiquitous and inescapable.

    Every singer has to have one. Ubiquitous and inescapable.

    On the stage, singing and most wind instruments, percussion and even is the microphone to try first ... If you like it (as is quite possible, depending on the singer or the singer, instrumentalist, style ...) try something else, there's the choice ... Rare are the plates that do not have a dozen.

    For studios, whether for voice or for the winds, a condenser microphone (even a cheap t.bone) is likely to be much more efficient. Under these conditions the sm 58 is best suited for drums, snare or toms.

    Yes of course I do it again this election, and if I fart palm or mine, well I'll buy one.

    Well it works on the voice and the rest of that when it is a dynamic place somewhere and that there is no longer available for micro, there is a 58 tjs to troubleshoot.

    Best application: VX (not all), snare, GT Electric (it helps out)

    Micro Mythic is not for nothing

    This is a micro preference for singing but it is very versatile I have used for bedding a guitar without problems.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I for several years. I think of him more. It has excellent gain and no breath.
    I think the price is justified. Javai ever tried before other micro (micro low-end Philips and son then without micro radio studio (radio broadcast throughout France which I will not mention the name) or they also use it to record some voices sm58 .
    I am very pleased with this mic I'll buy without hesitation.

    It is a dynamic cardioid microphone. very strong for my taste.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for many years, and I was never disappointed for use standart.
    Live is perfect for its price, it is certain that others are better but the price also increases.
    I also use it in studio and on this point whether confined or not, he is good at his dommaine and ambient noise that does not exist virtually or so with a small correction to the mastering.
    Did not the precision of a studio condenser microphone. Lack many acute and hi-mid.
    Recommended for all budgets

    Dynamics.

    OVERALL OPINION

    This mic is a reference.
    He has a particular sound with a bump in the low medium and good fishing.
    Well suited for rock voice but not that powerful ... after that depends on the system behind it: console, processing, dissemination system.
    on the other hand, less "faithful" and less gain than a Sennheiser E840 that I prefer for my voice in general.

    Cardioid dynamic microphone. A standard

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have a small battery, some with the "cage" within which I serve as sm57 for snare and transplanting of guitar amplifiers. The others are for singing live.

    What they are asking for is a clear and robust (I lug around all the time), and that they do so without problem.

    So a standard! If you want something specific, look on the side of AKG, ElectroVoice or, or even a beta 58 for Shure. But if you want something that will serve you anywhere, choose the SM58.

    I put 10 for what is asked.

    Good for live.

    It is a dynamic cardioid microphone. It's pretty robust.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I no longer used for a long time since I am generally a studio. It is occasionally used to record a guitar amp or drums.

    The SM58 is a microphone with a legendary reputation based mainly on the live. Sound hot.

    For application studio, it's talk. Lacks the precision of a studio condenser microphone. Lack many acute and hi-mid.

    Anyway, for the price, should not get carried away either. It is a safe choice for live.

    mirco dynamic cardioid ....
    relatively very strong

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 2 years
    having just purchased a mirco base to 30 €, we say that it was my first real mic ....

    This mic is known to be very robust, used almost everywhere for its remarkable value for money.

    If the choice had to be rebuilt, for singing, performing, I would.

    Beware however, for a voice recording studio, I recommend a large diaphragm microphone ...
