Wondering if these are good vocal mikes for $100.
Yes, they are good general purpose vocal mics. I have 6 of them that
I use for live sound and occasionally I use one for voice-over work.
I also like the Sennheiser E835 which is a little bit brighter but
still smooth sounding and while priced the same as the SM58 for a
single, you can buy a
3 pack for $200, if you need more than one.
We also have a Sennheiser 835, and we've noticed it feeds back thru
our PA (2 Mackie 1400s with EV 18" bottoms and Yamaha 15"s). Since the
SM58s aren't as bright, perhaps we may eliminate/curtail this problem
?
The e835 has an outrageously wide and sloppy pattern. If you like the
tone on it, try the e855.
Brightness has nothing to do with it. Poor pattern control does.
The SM58 is okay in that regard but not much better than the e835.
