Default New Shure mics vs. old

Yeah - for the last 20 years or more they sound like being stung
in the ear by a wasp. But not as much as a C1000 !


All kidding aside... are you saying the new ones are brighter or
harsher than the old ones? Was this a gradual change, or was there some
major design change that did it, and when? My mic is about 40 years
old.

Brighter or harsher might not necessarily be a bad thing in some
situations for my voice, which tends to be soft-toned (not necessarily
volume-wise) and can have trouble cutting through. I would also be
using them on an electric guitar amp. I figure for that, "bright" can
be controlled by placement.
