Re: The SM58...Getting back to the OP I will state the obvious. Pretty much every vocal mic in the $200 and up range sounds better than a 58. I don't have to work very hard to get a good sound with a SM58 but I understand what it is and know that it will never sound as good as a EV 767 or 967, Heil PR35, Senn 945, etc etc and I don't expect it to. It is what it is. If you expect a SM58 to sound like one of those then you will have to work very very hard and guess what........it is still not going to sound the same. Then there is the feedback rejection issue if you start cranking up the EQ. The SM58 is the Toyota Camry of vocal mics. It is dependable and will always get you there but it is not a Ferrari.
