OVERALL OPINION

I use since 1998, mainly for live, just for the record, when static does not lend, or when a particular type of sound is desired.

the advantage of this microphone is undoubtedly the fact that it is a Reference, known to all, we know how to settle it, what we will get as its so ...

it is quite flattering on the voice, which can be a good point, and it is correct with regard to the general characteristics of a microphone of this type (resistance to plosives, the feedback, made global etc ...)

on small scenes, where multiple microphones singing, there are big chances of snagging the feedback with the microphone, and I prefer him audix OM7 much less sensitive (but more expensive)

microphone used in a variety orchestra, beware there is a 80s so I'm not sure that it is manufactured in low-cost countries.
we used it at the time, less so now for singing.
it is primarily a microphone to the scene.
like any microphone, it should try before you buy.
it is best to go see his favorite dealer, and it prepares you for 3-4 microphones for testing.

OVERALL OPINION

since 1985, buy used at the time, but it was a must for the scene.
it tends to color and enhance voice.
the price at that time was expensive new, but nowadays provided that the model has the same qualities, I think it is affordable, this microphone is in my party of the range base of any group, or even any home studio, some taken on if you want scenic realistic rendering, it can make a huge service.
I think since there are other microphones also see better performance.

Micro vocals / guitar amps transplanted

OVERALL OPINION

A micro everything from classic in a set, to have if you want no shit. It's solid, it's cheap (100 € for equipment used professionally, it's not every day), it does the job.
It's OK not the best, and notices say it well, but it's still one that all sounds familiar ingestion and resolve fastoche know.
This is one of its great strengths and already just for that, must at least have tried.
I used plugged into multiple consoles, through effects and multi-effects voice, it still holds the road.
This is not a Rolls, it's not a tank, it's not an F1 car, but it's a good big jeep families: it goes almost everywhere.
That is: no surprises when you know, that's a lot when we should focus on other things (the music)

Dynamic microphone for vocals, cardioid (polar diagram heart-shaped), a quip output transformer which provides a good level (mv / pa), o rjection of a pretty good feedback. Trs not end in the high, but hey, it's a microphone so scne rock'n roll above 10 kHz we do not care a bit. Recently sold a fairly reasonable price. Be careful to trs MODELS sold cheap, out of Mexican plants without CONTRL quality.

OVERALL OPINION

Utilisssrieusement 3 years, which is a micro default hypermarkets are known, a hump at around 240Hz and a voice duck if not size 3 to 3.5 kHz. trs not in the high end (compared sennheiser), especially over time, the bump in the lower medium can, however, some useful s'avrer voice a little slender at the bottom. Problem, y 'never two that sound the same! Strong enough, however, quickly becomes the grille dgeulasse (they rust). It is a good legends, but it may be time to change, not sound terrible most of the time. Prferer him if we take a B57A really have a micro amricain. Otherwise, the European are better (sennheiser, beyerdynamic)

Micro cardio for recovery of voice or instrument. This is a micro legends. it is now far exceed. I think it sounds very rough. I put 5 / 10 because it is a microphone that can be found everywhere on stage and takes on a possder to know how it sounds and how to sing it.

OVERALL OPINION

I've used for 6 months, thinking that there was no better for live in this price range, and then it was good to come up with a Shure SM 58 ...

Most: Micro found everywhere. there should be presets for the microphones to the equalizers. good rejection of feedback. Low handling noise. hyper strong.

The -: sounds rough. Severe lack of energy, gain in fact. Lack of clartaigue.

Must love the color of his ...

Poor value / quality prices. Try T.bone Mb85Beta 39 euros

I do not have that choice would do.

See CHARACTERISTICS.

OVERALL OPINION

Oulaaaaaa, I have one since I can walk ...
There's no particular feature we like it or not in the microwave. It is a micro 100 euros, and it comes out of his micro 100 euros. We can not expect to have the sound of a lctro-static with a German, let alone a Royer ribbon.
It is a robust use of micro or RPET scne as dynamic, mainly for the song. If you are not overwhelmed by the beauty of sound, we can at least it's not horrible reconnatre and the micro fills his office.
For singing so it honnte, now in recovery amp, a SM57 prfrez, more aggressive, or Sennheiser E906, funny, with its low cut and high cut adjustable. For the wealthy, an M88 (most of those XXX are available from Funky Junk) or a 421. Then, there is limited only by your budget But the SM58 has been proven. Remains whether the new products, especially for T Bone will be as robust use ...

Quick advice on microphone:

It is a very old and micro shure reissued by at least 40 years, omni-directional which is useful for me on stage because I used exclusively por harmonica for 30 years, hand closed around the instrument and microphone, so it hangs too much to feedback.

Question report, and it is still widely used in large concert hall as it was about the respect with good dynamic range (a little weak in the bass for my taste)

OVERALL OPINION

Warning, this is not a micro high-end, but for an entry level price from Shure and its competitors, it remains a highly reliable micro see indestructible in terms of use and time in many musician around, a reference that goes out of fashion, a good value for a first purchase.
