[QUOTE="Scott Bolt, post: 83087, member: 3950"] Re: The SM58... No one is saying that the SM58 isn't needed for people [b]providing[/b] sound. Myself, I am saying that if you do sound for yourself, the SM58 is a substandard microphone to do it with. I get that you have to provide lemonade for the people who have always used an SM58. If you want better sound and less feedback, then for a few more dollars, you can get a much more capable microphone that sounds better, and rejects feedback better. Perhaps it is just my testing environment, but seriously, the SM58 doesn't stand up to the A/B test with most of these other microphones we have been discussing here. Gold standard or not, it just doesn't make the grade in my testing. I would love to hear from others who have done their own testing and came up with a different outcome that I have. The SM58 is not in the budget bracket of crap microphones either. Can you get through the night with it without sounding bad using SM58's? Sure, but you could have sounded better, and you could have had less issues with feedback using a better mic IME. [/QUOTE]
