Well, Bubba, by now you should have realized that you have asked
about the mic that many here love to hate. At least you, unlike so
many, got the model designation correct.

For a good vocal mic that you can use equally in the studio as live, along
with the AKG C535, the new RODE S1 which I found pretty amazing, especially
considering it's price.

I tried the S1 against an SM58, C900, C5900, D3800M, and it had similar
response to the codenser AKGs, but 'smoother' Also markedly less pronounced
proximity effect, handling noise, and popability that all the other mics.

I would like to run it against a KSM-105 but don't have access.

Back to the original question. Bubba grouped "Shure mics" into one basket,
presumably meaning SM58. Shure make many other mics, both stage and studio,
that are far superior to the SM58.....

I long ago flicked my pair of C1000s for a Soundroom MC-012as, but I've
never considered using them for vox.
