Dave Lang Posted June 21, 2001 Share Posted June 21, 2001 Any suggestions for a dynamic vocal mike for live shows that would be a step up from Shure Beta 58? Looking for volume / feedback rejection vs. wireless etc. thanks for your help, dave lang www.mp3.com/dave_lang Dave Lang www.davelang.com www.davesbarandgrill.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantasticsound Posted June 21, 2001 Share Posted June 21, 2001 Shure Beta 87, Sennheiser E845, or if you have the cash.... Audiotechnica 4054 or 4055. They share the 4050's capsule, in a stage mic shell. One has a low freq. rolloff designed in (not a switch), the other does not. Clair Bros. beta tested the idea for AT, and insisted they wanted both freq. responses, but no switches. To prone to breakage and dirt entering the electronics. (sweaty fingers!) These mics will break you at around $350 a piece. There's always the Neumann stage mic... (I have no idea if the performance lives up to the name. Haven't demo'd it.) That'll set you back about $500 or more. ------------------ Neil Reality: A few moments of lucidity surrounded by insanity. It's easiest to find me on Facebook.

sign Posted June 22, 2001 Share Posted June 22, 2001 Hi Neumann KMS 105 is a very good condenser vocalist mike. But you were asking for a dynamic, try a Beyer M88. Peace. The alchemy of the masters moving molecules of air, we capture by moving particles of iron, so that the poetry of the ancients will echo into the future.

strat0124 Posted June 22, 2001 Share Posted June 22, 2001 EV's 457 for a male vocalist, and a 357 for a female vocalist......I've had really great service with these in many applications. Also the bottom line 257 ain't bad either. Or as someone else stated, the Beta versions of both the SM57 and SM58 are damn good mic's. What's so cool about these mic's is you know what to expect from them time after time. No guess work. Down like a dollar comin up against a yen, doin pretty good for the shape I'm in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b3wiz Posted June 22, 2001 Share Posted June 22, 2001 I recently got my wife a 4054 AT. We tried everything and I do mean everything out there and, for her voice, the 4054 blew 'em away. It sounded as good or better than the new Neuman for a couple of hundred less. Nothing else even compared with it. It's got a fat range, is very clean and punchy as hell all the way from bottom to top. BUT....don't buy it from our testimony because our guitar player sounded muddy thru it. He wound up with a Beyer that he likes a lot. My wife had a Beyer prior to the AT and liked it a lot, but it didn't hold a candle to the AT 4054 for her.

Hayman Posted June 22, 2001 Share Posted June 22, 2001 Our band is lucky to have a soundengineer that tries everything and I belive that he has every mic that's made. http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif Last Saturday we tried some Audix VX-10's. They were great. Very clear and open and I think Morten (the soundengineer) said that they could handle lots of gain before feedback. Sometimes we use a B&K for leadvocal but then we have to keep the volume low onstage. We have used the new version of the Neumann with great results. And usually a SM57 for me when I'm playing drums. It helps keeping the leakage low. Try different things. It's fun. http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif just my two cents Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
