Ill be using one of these with a PreSonus Bluetube Preamp for hip hop r & b and rock vocals for now..I'll upgrade when i make some more money but till then i'll have to chose something between $100 and $150.00.

Thanks

i would like your opinion:
i am looking for the best mic for live rock/pop male lead vocals ( vocal style between jon bon jovi / freddie mercury).
thanks for the answers.

So I used a Sm87 for a live gig for about 6,000 people and I liked the Mic alot. It's a hypercardioid so the feedback rejection was great and it seems to have some sort of internal shock mount that helps to minimize noise if you have to ajust the mic.

I've only used it for one show, convince me i don't need to buy one of my own.

ive done a little research and all 3 of these mics claI'm to give the most gain before feedback. i wondered if anyone had had any experience with them and which might actually do the job best and sound good doing it at the same time.
thanks :)

hi,there are a few good mics out there that i have tested in mic shops that sound nice such as the Sennheiser E935, E945 Audio-Technica AE6100, AE4100. but i have been wondering what vocal mic might be best for my applications. i have a clean melodic voice but i sing in melodic metal bands that tend to be very loud on stage and in the rehearsal rooms.

I'm thinking of moving up to a better vocal mic for some live acoustic recordings for an artist in the near future. I've been tossing around a lot of ideas - but wanted to ask around here to get opinions. I've been using an SM58 for the vocals.

Here is a clip of a show I recorded for him last year - it was with the 58 on the vocals.

I have been getting a lot of questions from readers of a sound advice column I write about getting their first P.A. system. I always suggest they buy SM57/58 mics since I really feel for the bucks they can't be beat but I'm getting questions about mics like the Behringer XS2000 which can be had for $20 each and the Samson R21 mics.
