Hi everyone,

I just did a new video and would like your comments :

well, I was finally forced into replacing my old trusty 57 this weekend. It died last year (the ballad that which has been mentioned here many times so I won't get into that again, lol) but instead of buying a new one, I started using an old AT dynamic that is haf knocking around for years that I used instead. But, I couldn't get used to it tho.

I Need help from the experts here. I want to record spoken word with garage band. I have a blackjack and two mics. An Audio-Technica condenser mic, and a Shure sm58. The volume when I use the condenser mic is great. I use the phantom power with the Audio-Technica. The volume when I use the sm58 is very low. I am using the XLR input into the blackjack. Do I need a mic preamp amp for the sm58?

This year Shure celebrates the 50th anniversary of the world’s most popular mic, the Shure http://www.Shure.co… SM58® Vocal Microphone. Loyal users know that this rugged and reliable mic sounds great.

As a public service to RO and its potential visitors, I thought I'd research this topic and post a thread explaining the differences between real Shure SM58 mics and counterfeit models. In the last few years, a serious number of fake 58's have hit the global market. This isn't a myth, these fake mics are indeed out there, so here are some things to look for:

Title says it all.

The pop filter is not bad on the SM58, but Shure's. website talks about the 565SD's great pop filter.
So I am wondering!

Good choice...nice sound quality, reliable, decent wind rejection. The US Prez uses an SM57 with a foamie on it. Thoughts? -Johntodd

Hey guys. How are you ? :)

I sing in my free time and recently I started to record my singing via Audacity over a beat.

I like it.

I don't have condenser mics, can expect decent results with two SM58s? Board is an M-308 into a Delta 44. Was planning on recording it dry.

So it seems we have a couple of issues with some of our 58s. They're a couple of years old, and have been used on hundreds of shows. Lately we've had problems getting a good sound out of them and problems with gain before feedback. So I decided to AB them and take some measurements. Here's what I found:
