SM57 for voice over : Config / Mods?
Greetings all,
I have been following the recent discussions re the SM57 optomised with lower impedance input with interest, as I am hoping to establish a suite for producing radio plays and classical music related discussions / podcasts. My preferred mic would be the SM7b, but this is currently beyond my price range. I have heard interesting calls to mod the SM57 by taking out the transformer, making it sound like the former. This seems a somewhat drastic measure however, and I wonder if using a low impedance input on my ex broadcast console (which has 600 ohm transformer inputs) may actually yield a decent result for voice work? Perhaps it is worth removing the transformer and using the 600 ohm tap together. The old RME (1970s) broadcast console has plenty of gain. Any thoughts re using the SM57 for voice work with a vintage broadcast console (in maintained conditioon) would help me along this path. I have also read discussions re the use of various windshields to optomise things re tonal balance (and pop removal). Any thoughts? Best regards, Stephen |
