Value For Money :
Excellent
Dynamic microphone and dedicated the song to the scene, tough (the best thing for me), fairly good resistance to feedback, but can be used to full of things ...
Micro legend it seems ...
Ben since it is manufactured and processed in China, it is sold at exorbitant prices on average 110 euros! is abused!
OVERALL OPINION
This is the first micro I bought (in 2001 I believe) when I started the music.
It was for everyone the benchmark, and I thought at the time: take the mic as they are everywhere!
For many years I have used AC Live or studio, I have ben told j'me reference anyway!
Yeah, but even at first I was not satisfied with the report of my voice Live, and even worse at home.
After comparing with other models, working in the studio and manipulating all kinds of stuff ... my feelings have become convinced!
The sound, too heavy in the lower midrange in particular, is accurate but dull, muffled treble castrated, he is sorely lacking in presence and openness.
Dynamics "rock'n'roll," What not extensive, and the proximity effect most marked I connaisse.Un his rather rough for me.
If this type of "grain", not always the most suitable also can go to some voices (rocky, metal, harsh color ...), where the stamp is worth anything, it is far from polyvalent.Mais Even then, you have to work a hell of equalization to make up for its lack of clarity and mitigate its mid-bass often intrusive.
Where "flatter" some, it encloses the other (the largest) in a kind of sound and typed "standard" which does not allow the vocal qualities natural to express oneself, not to mention the difficulty, too often to make sense of the words.
As a singer, I've banished!
Recently, I paid 2 T bone: the MB78Beta leMB85Beta.Les 2 me and came back less than the SM58.
I will not speak of the first (static) is incomparable with the Shure.
But next to the Shure Beta85, in addition to having a higher headroom (no need to push the gain of a table, even low-end to have a good level), it sounds right now clearer, ventilated, and now that the SM58.
We do not feel like treble atrophiés.De addition, it is not loaded in the lower medium as the other, so it sounds more neutral, it is more friendly tone of voice .
Live, means the difference right away, especially with instrumentation provided in places such Bar concert ... we understand the words!
wow! and he at least for voice, it is exploitable in the absence of a static for the Home Studio.
Brief 39 euros, you have a microphone singing much better!
I find even more interesting sm58 for percussion, an amplifier, a saxophone or harmonica ... but for voice, I almost dropped it in favor of my T-bone (I used to mic up if is missing)
A quality / price ratio disastrous, given the relative quality of the micro ...
Above all, do not rely on the label of legendary mic or I do not know what, and why not go and see what others are doing to often less expensive, such as Sennheiser, AKG, Audix, T bone, Beyer Dynamic , electro voice ... or go directly to a Beta 58 which costs only 30 or 40 euros more, which, although it remains expensive, is already a much better price / quality ratio than the SM58. (lighter, open, flexible and less "choked "in the sound)
I have a mic to "legend" but I'm not particularly proud of ...
At that price, and after trying different models, I will not repeat this purchase, but now that I have, I will always serve as a spare mic or a sax, harmonica, percussion, trumpet .. . Live, if I have nothing else.
But the voice blah, a few voices, and not versatile at all.
In any case, you need a good preamp or a good strip his ass is sticking because it is a temperamental and you have to tame it!
Regardless of the price, I put "6" as an SM58, why not, if it should really voice vote, that is to say that compared to the other models, otherwise you will not know if it is not better or worse than another on your voice.
Taking into account the price, "2" because the views of his "performances", besides being still in place after 40 years it is not unusual.
A 60/70 euros, that would be more reasonable rate.
BREF, TRY AND COMPARE BEFORE YOU BUY!
