Great review. Having sung in rock bands for years, in churches, and for smaller acoustic performances, and having used a variety of mics, the SM58 is my go-to.

[@poodlesandwichmodding7101]

Regarding the Shure 55 (the Elvis one), I think of “warm” as meaning lots of low and mid frequencies, without much treble. The Modern 55SH deffo doesn’t fit the bill in that regard. To me it sounds like a more breathy, airy version of the SM58. I have a 1940’s era 55 which comes closer to sounding “warm”, especially in lower impedance settings, but as mentioned in the video, not to be used for a live gig as will just feedback like crazy. Just thought it was worth mentioning in case someone was thinking the 55SH would be a more bassy/darker alternative to a 58 for example.

such a charismatic guy subscribed as soon as i opened the video

[@jonahladd818]

First! Nice been wanting a mic video!

[@paulwebb2748]

Thanks for posting. I've watched a lot of videos on the topic of best mic for vocals, but haven't found an answer... I am looking for recommendations for the best mics to amplify a small vocal group of about 10 people for live performances where we have a 4-channel mixer so we can't, and in deed don't want to mic each singer individually; what would be the best mics for this application? Cheers, Paul.

[@jobvanderburg1215]

Don't buy a live vocal microphone with a switch. It sounds handy but you don't want to know how many times I have heard "he way is my mice not working" me checking the whole singnal chane 5 minutes later I finde out the flipt the switch. Don't do it just buy the one without the switch

[@djlasry2240]

Lmao faxxxx but wait what do u mean by the last part “don’t just buy the the one w/out the switch” so you’re we should get both?

[@sasharey3153]

This guy is Amazing

[@balkansavage]

There is a better way. Go to the music store and try a few mics. See what works for your voice. 🎵

[@JuanSanabria]

thanks

[@SeriousGear]

So the briefcase in Pulp Fiction was a set of three VM50s... then it was all worth it. Is there a practical difference between a dynamic vs condenser mics for live performance? Either more likely to get feedback, take damage, etc? Or is it mostly a matter of the type of sound you're looking to capture?

[@whiskerandojoe]

allegedly condensers are better at picking up tiny details of the voice but more susceptible to feedback. There's alot of details to consider but that was the biggest i found in my research so far..

[@MorzakEV]

Condensers need to be treated very carefully in a live setting, depending on the model. You need to know what you’re doing to prevent horrific feedback and potentially even damaging speakers etc.

[@christopherkiyui8071]

How about for us who sing while playing piano/keyboard? The problem is we move our heads on and off the mike while playing the keys up and down....and I do want that freedom. I have considered wearing a headset but it captures everything sing or say in between and I have no control. Any recommendation?

[@timothyandrews5975]

Same I need a mic for this

[@cugang007]

I have both PGA58 and SM58. I'm so confused with the two because they are quite similar

[@donaldfewell8908]

Don't get the Shure SM 58 model with the on/off switch. My SM 58 switch wore out, and I was careful when handling it.

[@seanaust3218]

I have a PE65L with a switch that still works great, because I screwed the switch into the on position right after I bought it almost 30 years ago.

[@ximingze2238]

My sm86 gave me too much feedback. I have to switch to sm58

[@sumitp749]

Which one is better !?

[@davids.816]

Thanks Russell Brands rocker uncle!

[@MrHooskerdu1]

Shure SM58s?? Get real.. They might be durable, but they're pure junk and sound like garbage.

[@mattkersh1205]

Man, millions of great singers use the the SM58. If you’re actually in and around the business over time, you’ll see that to be fact.

[@MrHooskerdu1]

@@mattkersh1205 Not intentionally. They use whatever the sound guy has. But I would bet anything that there aren't a lot of SM58s being used in professional large scale sound systems.

[@brokenbandits5438]

@@MrHooskerdu1 what would you recommend ?

[@MrHooskerdu1]

@@brokenbandits5438The EV ND767 is a great mic for a reasonable price... If you can still find one. However, since it's been discontinued, either the EV-ND86 or ND96 are both infinitely better than the SM58. Much less feedback, a much better low-end, and you don't have to EQ them much either. They run between $125 - 150. The ND86 is the closest to the EV-767, which is just a phenomenal mic! The Sennheiser E945 is also a very good microphone, but it is $175 - 200, and it isn't as hot as the ND767. I've side by sided them, and the 767 still wins in terms of sound quality and gain.

[@brokenbandits5438]

@@MrHooskerdu1 I have ev etx speakers. They should beautiful. Id say the ev mic would go well with them. Must check the others out too

[@TD_t_dickens]

My Shure mic is a complete pos. Feedback hell, and weak signal. No power to it. Hate it.

[@docpearson]

That’s aluminum not aluminium Pleasssssseeee

[@zorbexfx8059]

If you can't sing why are you giving advice on mics?....next
