You should also have an EV 635A and an SM-57 in the closet somewhere.
Both are very highly colored, but they are useful colorations and they
don't cost much money. Don't spend more than $50 for a used 635A.


Scott ~ The EV 635A is anything BUT "highly colored"! It's quite flat,
with a smooth 3 dB (max) rise between 2 KHz and 12 KHz. The HF and LF are
intentionally rolled down outside the voice range.


I'd consider that extreme roll-off on the ends to be "highly colored."
It can be a very powerful tool, though.
