Monckyman Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 An SM58 tip. replace the basket foam regularly. They solidify over time and it affects the tone,making them sound duller and less responsive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51m0n Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 [url="http://www.heilsound.com/pro/products/pr22/"]Heil PR22[/url] - is an update on the 58 in terms of technology in a dynamic mic. 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.

alanbass1 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brensabre79 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
