Replacement for SM58?

[Monckyman]

An SM58 tip. replace the basket foam regularly. They solidify over time and it affects the tone,making them sound duller and less responsive.

The 58 is a good mic but doesnt suit everyones voice, try a Sennheiser e845 as an option too, really suits some male voices a lot more than a 58.

I recently got an Audix OM7 in place of my SM58 and it really is a significant step up both in terms of clarity and loudness it will go before feedback sets in.

Our function band has 4 vocals, everyone has a SM58 except one of us who has a Beyer. He insists that - at twice the price of the SM58 - his is a better microphone...

Guess which one of our vocalists can never hear themselves in the monitor, is always on the brink of feedback and sounds like he's singing through an old sock out front...?

Yes SM58s have a 'sound' but mixing desks also have a 'eq section'. They work, they are not amazing, but they are easy to work with, robust and cheap (ish)
