Re: Beta 57a vs. Beta 58a for vocalsHere is a comparison of the two mics, from recordinghacks.com. [ATTACH]150925[/ATTACH]The mics have pretty similar response. They are both super cardioid. I don't own a Beta 58. I have a couple Beta 57a mics. They sound a little bright to my ear, but the chart shows they are no brighter than the Beta 58. A couple artists I've seen using them as vocal mics (off the top of my head) are John Mayer for lead vocal and AC/DC for backing. I sing a lot. I think I'd be okay using a Beta 57a for my vocal mic.
