Good vocal speaking mike? |
|
|
I would like recommendations for a good speaking vocal mike for an in house
PA system in a conference room. The mike I have in mind is a Shure SM58
(maybe with a switch). Is a good choice?
Thanks,
David

The cad95/195 is one of my favorite as it is so very user friendly

The SM58 is one of the most popular mic choices in the world
for all time. But that doesn't make them the best choice.
The CAD 95/195 that George mentioned is a compeetitive mic I
have also had good experience with, more for singers. I have
7 or 8 CAD 95s. Many of my vocalists prefer them over the
Audix I mention below. The CAD 95 has a remarkably supple
internal shock mounting with extraordinary resistance to
handling noise.
I'm constantly pleased by how natural the Audix OM5 and OM6
sound, how well they minimize the effects of echoes in small
rooms, and how resistant to feedback they are in sound
reinforcment applications. They are also great lectern
mics. I have 4 of each. While we were happy with a CAD 95
as a lecturn mic, it was replaced with a CAD5. |

yes it is. another to consider it the audio technica MB300L it has the same
cardioid pattern and a large silent slide switch. and is all dark (if
appearances matters) new price is about 20% less then a new 58. |

Now Arny, that was a good post. You did some comparison,
and stated your personal usage opinion.

Bob, wouldn't be nice if you, George and Phildo could
somehow limit themselves to this kind of post?
In fact your post Bob is just about completely off-topic.

Of course that's irrelevant to what I said.
What I said is that if you're choosing microphones to work
in a given environment (which means that room dimensions,
wall surfaces, and speaker placment are held constant) that
hypercardiod mics minimize such remaining echoes as may
still exist. |

With the obvious added caveat that going hypercard limits one's mic
positioning options in order to keep the off-axis hotspot from hearing
the monitors or some hot discrete echo. Still can be helpful to go that
route sometimes. Tools for fools. <g>

He showed Arny that he was capable of making good and informative posts.
OK, those type of posts from Arny are as rare ... but with a bit of work
and encouragement like this then maybe Arny can become a normal poster on
the group.

I hope and think he can. If he stuck to his experiences and what he knows,
rather than making stuff up or guessing, then i am sure he will be a
valuable part of the team. |

Interesting.. it's usually the people who resort to name calling easily
and often that are looked upon as less intelligent. :)
Everywhere but "phildoland" I guess. It must be nice and blissful there! |

Usually but not always. Anyway, it was you who started hurling the insults
in this instance. Pretty typical of a troll.

In fact Phildo, you started the trouble in this thread, like
just about every other thread that you pollute, by hurling
insults at me.
Nice job of trying to duck responsibility for your own
misbehavior, Phil! |

And that's where you get it wrong yet again Arny. The core problem here is
you pretending to be an expert on things you know nothing about for purely
egotistical reasons on your part. If you were to stop posting crap then
there wouldn't be any need to pull you up on your mistakes. What part of
that simple concept is so hard you cannot get your head round it?

Look who's talking. You are responsible for a good 75% of the flamewars on
this newsgroup at the moment just because you constantly spout crap and have
to be pulled up on it.

It's so funny, how, in order for you to save the newsgroup, you're doing
your best to kill it. Frankly, anyone knows when someone is posting
bunk. I don't think anyone needs "superphildo" to come to the rescue.
It's all a ruse anyway, an excuse for you to take as many potshots as
you can at people. Look at how quick you are to insult people for the
slightest perceived provocation. You really enjoy playing in the muck,
it seems, so you're trying to create your own personal muck playpen, yet
it's always someone else's fault. |

LOL... all anyone has to do is sort by username and see some nice,
junior high school level insults from you in just about EVERY thread.
You are an easy target, and would be VERY easy to insult if I had the
desire.

Um. Yea. Sheesh. "A lot better than where you are.." that's a new
one. You forgot the "I'm rubber and you're glue" or even the old
classic "neener neener." |
