[QUOTE="Scott Bolt, post: 83376, member: 3950"] Re: The SM58... @RYAN, I never said they were popular. I said they are very good.... better than an SM58. Here we are with yet another poor argument..... ie if you don't see them requested, then they aren't any good .... which is just wrong. Just out of curiosity, have you ever A/B'd an ND767 against an SM58? I am guessing not. If you don't think that the microphone has anything to do with feedback, then I doubt you and I have very much common ground to discuss. This is simply a lack of knowledge on your part and I would suggest you do, at a minimum some research, and possibly even some kind of testing yourself before you say such foolish things. I would love to hear of a situation where 4 SM58's would not feedback before 4 ND767a's. If you have a test setup, I would be happy to do the testing myself. I have never had a single instance that even a single SM58 on the stage did not increase the feedback potential. I have had this happen on many occasions since I also have a few people that I have worked with that incorrectly thought of the SM58 as the "holy grail" of live performance microphones and insisted on using one ..... until I showed them the difference. The usage and price class. The usage being a microphone designed for live sound (vs recording for instance), and the price being ~$100-$200. Well there you have it. Where do I begin? Lets start with the "class" of microphone here. The KSM105 is ~ $700.00 (clearly out of range of what we are talking about here), but I thank you for providing such a great example of what I am not talking about. Next, I am not trying to tell you how to run your rig. I could care less if you go about being a crotchety, irritable and intractable person in your dealings with bands and prohibit them from using their own microphones. In fact, I have clearly stated many times that I am not talking about sound providers for many reasons. Perhaps you didn't read the thread? If the SM58 works for you, great! I am not going to show up in the night and steal your precious SM58's while you sleep and replace them with a better microphone. So I guess now I have another reason that has been quoted in this thread for why someone would buy an SM58 instead of another better microphone: finally ... Yes, I get it. :roll: You have convinced me of the error of my ways. I am astonished that I didn't realize all along how great a microphone the SM58 really is. I will immediately be selling off all of my ND767's and replacing them with SM58's thanks to your words of wisdom. Are you serious? [/QUOTE]
