[QUOTE="Matt Duncan, post: 4860, member: 658"] My lead vocalist is looking to go wireless & possibly upgrade from our current mic. Little extra info- Christian rock/worship band, usually 300 or less cap venues. Singer's voice is a baritone, but also comfortable in upper bass & low tenor areas & has some raspy-ness. Mic technique is pretty good & getting better. The entire band is on IEMs & our stage volume is moderate - usually have a drum shield & guitar amps aren't parting hair in the first 5 rows. You can hear his vocal & our style on our page if that would be of help - link is in my sig. We're currently using an e945 (wired) on him, and he's reasonably happy with the sound in his IEMs. We've also tried an e835 & e935, e965, KMS105, OM-5, b87 & of course the old sm58. Out of them all, we liked the KMS105 best & it was the hands-down winner in our audition, but the cost of going wireless is a stretch. We could do it, but it'd take a while for him to save that kind of money. I'm also worried that it might be a bit overkill - kinda like driving a ferrari but living in a mobile home. Realistically, we're probably down to choosing between an e945 or e965 - either capsule would be paired with a 500-G3 system. We didn't get a whole lot of time to spend with the e965, & I didn't hear a dramatic difference between them, but I'm a drummer first & an engineer second so keep that in mind.
