Hi,

I have sound card Egosys Waveterminal 2496, Behringer pre-amplifier Behringer Eurorack and old mic Shure 565 Unisphere.
I'm not satisfied with sound which I get with this mic, I need it basicaly for rapping (hip hop voice recording). The sound which I get it's somehow deep with to much bass, undefined, I need more middle EQ in this mic.

Can you suggest me which mic to buy, my Behringer Eurorack support mic power supply.
I will go from 100-200 Euros, or 150-250$.

I have heard that this Shure 565 Unisphere is good for stage not for studio recording. Also I have try all methods of improving voice recording, such as EQ, use mic upside down, middle of room, next to wall etc...

Thank you.

This may or may not be the "right" mic for your application, but it shouldn't sound overly bassy or ill-defined in the mid-range - a crisp mid-range is what this mic is for(Actually, that's all it's for.).

Here is what I found with a Google Search for this mic:

Features:
The Unisphere© 565 Series provides excellent vocal or speech reproduction on lecterns and stages, as well as in churches and schools.
Excellent voice intelligibility
Noise-cancelling dynamic
Frequency response: 100 to 6,000 Hz

Specifications: Versatile, high-quality microphone with sound characteristics similar to the SM58
Selectable dual-impedance operation
Silent magnetic reed on/off switch with lock-on option
Cardioid dynamic
Frequency response: 50 to 15,000 Hz

((Note the different "frequency respones" listed - A mistake? This was from a dealers site, not Shure itself.))

Anyway, You might be sure the mic impedence is right? It is "selectable", either via a switch on the mic itself, or maybe by a(Rather simple) wiring change, maybe at its' connector? A look at the Shure web site(Look for an on-line manual for it), or an email to Shure tech support, should be helpful...

Hi,

I have old Shure 565 Unisphere, I think is old about 10-15 years. It has some strange conncetors with 4 pins, so new Shure 565 maybe is very different from what I have.
Will I get better result if I get condensor microphone, this 565 is dynamic microphone.

You thin that I maybe connect wrong so I get not great sound? I mean, I'm very "peaky" don't know how to tell, It's not bad sound, but for my opinion I would like to get better.

Thank you.
