They're supposed to help against feedback, which is probably a good thing in
a karoke situation. And they have a pretty blue ring. I know of no other
difference.

I posted earlier this summer as to aids for better singing for someone
like myself who cannot sing, but at least wants to try at home only. I
realize it is for my own entertainment.

Some kind folks in this group advised that the best microphone was a
Shure SM58 for me to get. Upon looking for the SM58, I discovered
that Shure offers a more pricey Beta 58. I don't know if this more
pricey mike is worth the difference.

Questions.

Is the Shure Beta 58 worth the extra money?

What are the differences between the Shure SM58 and Shure Beta58?

With newsgroup members knowing that I can't sing, which microphone
will best enhance my lack luster voice? The SM58 or Beta58?

What voice enhancing effects gear work best with each mike? I will
not be performing professionally. It is soley for my own
entertainment, so I am not going to spend thousands for a pro studio,
just a home amateur studio type arrangement.

Thank you in advance to all who generously care to share their
insights.
