OVERALL OPINION

It's been a long time I was looking for a microphone to the stage a little more intelligible to talk or variety for the song because my Shure SM58 has a sound a little too soft for that and plus he is not sensitive enough (it was always "stick" the microphone in front of the mouth). One day, I had to record a band on stage with the singer of French-language voice but just a little weakling. I had given my SM58 (this is my best at this time for this case) and had a hard time hearing it. The guy at the PA has taken the place of an AKG D 880 S Emotion and it is as if the ears are opening, it was amazing. What emotion! ^ ^ The singer's voice was more present in the upper midrange.

That's it, I found "my" stage to the microphone for singing or speaking French variety. I immediately took its reference and I have provided an opportunity as soon as it is presented.

I do not blame either the SM58, I rather think that these two microphones are not quite the same scope. Well, what are both of the microphones for the stage, of course. But the Shure is more designed for singing English rock hard rock, short for services where the singer's chest ^ ^ while the AKG is to speak the French variety (and yes, the frequencies used in the French language more in the high rise and this should be taken into account when selecting the microphone). Indeed, for the same vocal power, we must remove the AKG of the mouth from the Shure beware if saturation - or sing / speak more softly, that's just what I wanted.

I think I would buy a second copy or a Shure BETA58, the successor to SM58, which it seems that he also has more upper mids present.

Is a variation of this model: the AKG D 880 Emotion. It's the same model but without the switch On / Off.
