I don't know; it depends on your use case; if I were on a tight budget, I'd take 3x sm58s over one Nexadyne. And I'd rather have a ton of mic sources over sharing mic's.. Additionally, if you are working with kids or amateurs, 58's are also quite durable.

[@DarkCornerStudios]

Oh 100%...in almost every case that isnt professional...sm58 it is. However...live sound engineers are going to love this mic...

[@acousticsoundz1985]

I have been using the same sm58 units for a decade. 2 or three times a week, occasionally more. I also bought - a decade ago - 2 EV mikes where the advert showed them being bounced off a wall, run over by cars etc - which is why I bought them, but I kept those as backups just in case the 58's failed. We never used them because the 58's never did fail. Every few years I would take an EV out of the bag to test it. Upshot is both EV's died in storage -never used at gigs and the 58's continue to this very day -and will be used again tonight ! We have had zero problems with the 58's over more than a decade. At nearly 3 times the price of a 58, I'm not seeing a huge amount of attraction in the Nexadyne....

[@AskJoe]

Roadies like to factor in durability. As you know, there are countless videos of people running them over with tucks, or even putting them through fire and pitchers of beer and they still work. I wonder if anyone will put a $300 mic through those kinds of tests.

[@LindonSlaght]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but when it was released the SM58 also cost a similar amount(accounting for inflation) This is only expensive because it's new. As with all audio gear, it undergoes two tests, the test of quality from the getgo, and the test of time. Right now we only have the test of quality for this mic. We don't know if it'll be remembered like the SM58 and SM7B, or mostly forgotten like the SM48( pulled from a wiki article, I don't actually know if it's popular) I think it's innovative but I also realize that it takes more than innovation to defeat longstanding champs like the SM58. It's not like better mics haven't been released since then.

[@djmidnightwolf]

No feedback was nice. I didn't see enough of a difference to make me want to jump out and buy one. As someone that moved on from Shure to EV and sE mics, I would really have to play with it myself to see if it had a place in my mic locker. Maybe a follow up video with it vs the V7

[@DarkCornerStudios]

Yeah...thought about doing a shootout. I know Bandrew has this mic in his queue...see if he gets to it before me

So basically, they're doing what Bob Heil did with phasing for off-axis noise rejection, they're just using a separate capsule to do it.

[@ms.carrie7885]

Thanks again Aiden so much for coming out and letting Lady Soul try out the Nexadyne!!! If I did not already have my BETA 58 mic, and was looking to upgrade, I personally would choose the Nexadyne over it. From the vocalists point of view, I would say it did make what I was hearing back sound a bit more "natural". However I would make the change if for nothing else the shape. Having the mic be concave where it goes to your mouth sat very comfortably. For any of us who have gotten a mic in the face from a rowdy crowd, that alone would be worth the slight upgrade in cost over the BETA. Great video. Thanks so much!

[@DarkCornerStudios]

Ohhhh...never thought of that. Them wiley motown crowds huh?

Great video! Thanks. I do use the 58 for many vocals of myself and others. Lately, I have been using the Sennheiser 441 with great results - like Stevie Nicks and Don Henley. :)

[@seanrichards9569]

I’ve been here before, Audix, Sennheiser, Shure KSM9 and 8, all have their place, none have completely replaced the SM58. But I’ll still be curious to try it. What’s most interesting to me is why haven’t I seen a single KZbin creator doing videos of more than local cover bands in crappy rooms, or single person mixing from the stage coffee shop setups. No diss to those folks at all (like you), but I’m a pro engineer and I’ve yet to see a single review or test in what I’d call a pro environment, let’s say at minimum 500 cap room, in ears, or even much bigger. Some environment where a real mix is possible and where a change in performance of a vocal mic will make a huge difference in getting closer to AAA audio quality. That more than anything is why I’m sceptical.

[@mikegriffitt2877]

I would like to see you do a comparison of the $300.00 Shure Nexadyne vs. the $249.00 Telefunken M81 microphone. The M81 mic is amazing in how flat of a response curve it has (i.e. virtually no coloration and minimal EQ needed) along with having minimal handling noise & a super-cardioid pattern to minimize feedback on stage (*with the proper positioning of floor monitors). The M81 is spectacular on my wife’s vocals, drums, etc.

[@DarkCornerStudios]

Yeah that mic is definitely on my list!!

[@rickonmic]

If the Beta 58a had a switch, it would be my favorite mic. (As an emcee, I need that control.) It's the perfect balance between the sound of the KSM8 and the durability of the SM58. The Sennheiser e895s is my current daily, since it sounds similar to the Beta 58a but has a switch. Mics like the KSM8 and the Nexadyne mic are superior, but the price is a hinderance. I'm not so nervous with a $100-$170 mic, especially at gigs where people might drop the mic or spill something on it.

[@DarkCornerStudios]

Totally agree

[@johnbogle6475]

I'm surprised that Shure doesn't make a B58 variant with a switch (I can't find one either)? I've owned 58's & 57's with switches. In live stage production, muting is most often done by the engineer but there are many exceptions where a switch is useful (DJ, Podium, traveling mics etc...). Wow since they certainly have the production capacity, this seem like an over-site by Shure.

[@rickonmic]

@@johnbogle6475 i’ve tried an in-line switch before, but it’s very clunky. It’s so much more convenient to have the switch on the mic itself. Shure seems like it’s resting on its laurels. The only major innovation they’ve come up with lately is the sm7dB.

[@rickonmic]

@@RedButtonTV1 the Beta 58 doesn’t have a version with the switch. Only the SM58 does. The Beta 58 is a better mic.

I would say something like "cool, but I'll wait until the price comes down," but it's Shure. The SM58 has cost $100 since the 90s. I guess I'll just wait until $300 isn't much to ask for any mic.

Sounds identical to the 58, but the rejection is great - maybe 3+ db better? Doesn't sound hyper cardiod, or like a 57. A stage full of them over 58s would likely be much cleaner and tight. No monitor weirdness as well.

Other musicians spend thousands on gear, so why shouldn't a singer? I often wonder why singers think cheap mics are sufficient. They are not.

From the best of my understanding...based on their video "Behind the Sound..." while the Revonic tech was different...they did not change capsule design...they just stacked the transducers... Happy to call a Shure tech to confirm this if necessary...but when Shure designs a new capsule...they ALWAYS base it on the unidyne capsule. There is nothing in any of their content that suggests otherwise. Unless you have some proof otherwise

Shure Nexadyne for £275, the Lauten Snare Mic is £330, the Lauten Tom Mic is £345. A drum kit is where I'd be using a super or hyper cardioid mic, the Shure is the wrong form factor for this use case.

[@jimcamp2423]

If the venue is providing this vocal microphone, Sure (Shure) a $ 300 microphone is going to be on stage. Let's get to reality though. anything ever done by a musician that was still getting their chops, has always been done for the cheapest way possible. And as a record label signs a band, the bands popularity gains fan base or whatever else, then only the best equipment will ever do and even those have their quirks & technicians (sound or instrument) have to tame. That local band that gigs to survive, they're probably going to use the SM58, it's fine, good enough or whatever is the rational for stage cred with a $ 99 microphone. Same holds for a studio, if the studio is going to provide a $ 200 or 300 microphone in the rental rate, One would be foolish not to take advantage of that. My gut feel, they may have a $ 300 microphone, but that one is going to cost a little more to the base rate as an adder/upgrade. Besides they've probably got quite a few SM58's for rent as a backup microphone just the same. So what does one need for that bar/restaurant, the venue with a patio stage that is outdoors or the dockside stage for the FL bar & restaurant area ? Is a $ 300 microphone going to be the microphone of choice ? Someone may even use a Pyle PDMIC58/59/78 with a foam clown nose on it. Only because nobody ever noticed the microphone anyone was using at a bar. again the reality is, the microphone isn't studio grade, digital release quality for recorded purpose in a bar/restaurant & never will be. I won't crap on the next gen Shure microphone, asking preference of the 2 is going to be the cheaper one if I paid for & provided it and am performing live. Maybe I'll get & use one if I'm cutting a next album ? But I also think the SM58 is all that's necessary for that even, since it is the reigning standard for that ? And then there's the interpretation of the artist. Maybe they want to pair their low-fi guitar with a mic that matches the project. Like for Rock-A-Billy, what else would anyone use beyond the look of a Shure Model 55 SH Series 2 or a Super 55 ? And Pyle has a PDMICR42 pr PDMICR68SL that is a Model 55 SH clone for a fraction of the cost of a Model 55. Just depends upon what the project calls for as part of the show ?

"At this price, $300", I could buy three SM58 microphones. There is no comparison to the SM58. It's in an entirely different price range. You got me pumped up on false hope with your deceptive thumbnail.

[@DarkCornerStudios]

?? How is it deceptive? The price? That is the MOST subjective thing about this mic. While it may be out of your price range...it isnt out of mine. Also...as someone who does live sound and works with other engineers...this isnt a contentious statement.

[@trajectoryunown]

​@@DarkCornerStudios The combination of title and thumbnail leads potential viewers to believe the Nexadyne is in the same price range as the SM58. Whether or not that was intentional, I am in no position to comment on. I can however confidently state that it gives the impression that this video is specifically designed to appeal to people in the market for "budget" microphones, which the Nexadyne is assuredly not. This spurs viewership from people who otherwise wouldn't have clicked on the video in the first place. That means many won't stick around to see the rest after hearing the price, which could absolutely tank your video's performance. (Though the engagement from critical comments might offset that in the algorithm. This approach works for many channels, if that's what you're going for, but it won't have a positive impact on your reputation.) And if price is indeed "subjective", then what would you say to selling some new Nexadyne microphones for $99? (I apologize for the attitude here, but the word "subjective" has a clear meaning. As far as microphones go, the price and physical construction, along with all metrics that entails, are the only objective points of data there are. Far too many subjective terms which lack precise definitions and are unable to be measured get thrown around way too much when it comes to audio equipment, not that that has anything to do with what I've seen here so far. I'm just getting sidetracked.) Look, I am in no way attacking your expertise on audio engineering or even commenting on the content of your video. I don't know anything about you and didn't stick around to see the rest. I'm just pointing out that the impression generated by your title and thumbnail is very misleading. I'm usually excited to hear about new tech that interests me, but after clicking on this video feel like I've had the rug pulled out from under me.

So...your perception of my thumbnail is way off. It is ME saying goodbye SM58. Sorry it is too expensive for you. But the SM58 is NOT a budget microphone. It is one of the most influential and legendary microphones of all time. One that has rarely...if ever had a competitor...at ANY price point. Even with handheld mics costing over a thousand dollars...the SM58 is still used by some of the biggest names in music. I think your problem is you are underselling one of the greatest microphones of all time.

[@trajectoryunown]

@@DarkCornerStudios @DarkCornerStudios I have no knowledge of the SM58's position in the professional scene apart from being used by a plethora of vocalists with varying styles throughout history, including some of my favorite metal vocalists. All I know is its cost to performance outweighed any other option for $100 or less that I've seen. Due to the fact that channels making content about studio recording regularly mention microphones in the $150-$300 range and the stuff I see used by podcasters and other career KZbinrs can even run over $1000, the $99 SM58 definitely seems like it's on the low end. That's why I referred to it as a "budget" option, because it's reasonably affordable for someone recording at home with limited equipment. I think our difference in perspective on price is the main source of conflict here. I'll check out the full video. I just ask that you take what I pointed out into consideration. Also, you mentioned you worked as an engineer for live shows? There's not much on KZbin from that perspective. In the couple of concerts I've been to, the tech bros in the middle of the room kept stealing my focus. It was magical seeing all their gear set up and watching them manage the sounds and lighting. They're the real rock stars. Your experiences in the field could make for some super interesting content. Whatever the case, I wish you luck.
