[QUOTE="Silas Pradetto, post: 75210, member: 34"] Re: The SM58... It seems that with most musicians, their universe of audio equipment is confined to what is sold at Guitar Center and other stores. So, I see two mics more than anything: the SM58, and the Beta87a. Here's my thoughts why: The SM58 is the classic go-to mic that musos buy because they see everyone else with it. Salesmen recommend it, and since convention seems to be all for it, why not? They buy it. The Beta87a is only sold to people that walk into Guitar Center and want the best mic they have. And they determine which mic is best by which one costs the most - so they all end up with the Beta87a, even though it is a TERRIBLE choice for most situations in which I see it used. I'd love to see a vocalist / musician buy a mic based on what it sounds like... [/QUOTE]
