[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 82818, member: 67"] Re: The SM58... Your story reminds me of my own reaction to the Heil PR22. It wasn't particularly good, I kept trying to make it sound like a 58. Yeah, I know.... <blush> The Heils and I are now at peace, and I have learned to appreciate HF shelving filters (now that they have a signal to work with). :D I will share a story I've told before (repeat offenders may hit the back arrow). Many years ago I was providing for Asleep at the Wheel in a club with a legal capacity of 300 and frequently there were 400+ packed in. They had a rider and a tech named Jim Finney. At setup I tried to substitute AKG dynamic mics for the requested SM57s on the toms. Jim looked at the mics and then looked at me. "Sonny, those are probably really nice mics, but I don't have time to learn them today, so how about you put the 57s I asked for?" I did, and learned that familiarity trumps someone else's idea of suitability or quality. Jim still mixes the Wheel and it's always a treat to do their show. [/QUOTE]
