Has anyone done a comparison between the RODE M1 and the Shure SM58?

This is a slightly different take on the impossible question of "which Mic should I buy!"

I'm going to get a shotgun mic and came across this pretty convincing comparison. I'm not looking for stellar audio here as I would be hiking around the streets with whatever I got.

The NTG-3 does it for me

What do you think?

Just curious what your favorite RODE mics are?

I have a matched pair of original RODE NT1's, and was impressed with the A/B comparison with the U87 after Michael Joy did his mod. I'm considering getting them bot modded by him and he said the will still remain closely a matched pair. Any input would be great, thanks

I can get a copy of reason 5 and maybe record, but will probaly use Ableton to begin with. I have no idea what I'm doing, if anyone's willing to offer some advice, I'm all ears.

I've been looking at these 3, they're at different prices here in Argentina. which one should I go for?

the aI'm is to record mainly all-round vocals and an ocassional acoustic guitar in my home studio. I've got a Mackie vlz-403 mixer with very good mic preamps and phantom.

any ideas? cheers!

I recently purchased a RODE NT1-A condenser mic. I've yet to receive it, but got it for a steal - the anniversary edition (mic, pouch, cable, shock mount, pop filter) for $165 brand new from the factory.

I'm recording a band with quite a shrill sounding vocalist.

• Its high, scream y, and screechy.
• I have a C414 that goes through a Great River MP-1NV into a PreSonus interface into logic.
• I am considering getting something else to soften, and improve the week spots of the vocals.

Guys,

I know there's a few forum threads on this topic out there, but none of them quite answers my question. I want to try out a few different types of tubes to replace the standard 6922 tube inside my RODE K2. Do I need to replace this tube with the same type (i.e. 6922 aka ECC88) or can I use different types as well?
