Hey guys, I'm about to buy a KSM44A, to record mainly vocals and speech, etc.

What are your opinions on this almost US$1000 mic?

Would you recommend something different for the same price?

Update: Just stating, I also record softer and screaming rock vocals. Need some versatility.

Of course the SM57 tops out as the most ubiquitous and appreciated mic -all things considered- but I am curious to know what is #2.

Hi!

I have a problem that I could not resolve during a long period of time.

I have 2 Shure KSM 109 mics that are connected to M-audio DMP3 preamp.
Preamp is connected to PC sound card.

I don't have a lot of mics to go around and I'm looking to use what I have as much as possible.

One of my band-mates has two SM58's and I'm hoping they are usable for drum recordings.
Maybe hit-hat Micing ?

So far the mics I have for the drums session are; RODE NT4, Beta 57A x 2, Beta 52A, SM57 x 3, SM58 x 2.

Hey guys was wondering if anyone had access to old Amphenol mc4 f/m plugs, as the one that came with the mic was terrible, it was a real hackjob in terms of soldering, not fixable.

So far all I've found is a place in Britain that sells premade cables, I would just like the part itself so I can make my own cable. It's cheaper!

Would this shockmount/pop filter fit a Shure SM57: http://pro-audio.mu…"]Buy Nady SSPF-4 Microphone Pop Filter | Pop Filters | Musician's Friend[/]="http://pro-audio.mu…"]Buy Nady SS

Hey Guys, I'm interested in owning an old Shure Vocal Master PA. I'm in the Houston area. Know where one or parts of one might be? I cant spend much, but shouldn't have to I wouldn't think.
Thanks
Harold

I'm trying to connect a Shure SM57 microphone to computer. I have Shure SM57 XL2 to TS connected to Behringer Mic800, and TS (unbalanced) to 1/4" line-in connected to a splitter to both L &R the line-in on the Audiophile 192.

I can't seem to receive a signal using the setup.
