Re: The SM58... The EV967 is a hypercardiod 767 on steriods. It is not for everyone because the pattern is so tight. It is more detailed as long as you are in the pattern. It is one of my favorite PA mics if the singer knows how to use it. I can and have happily mixed with most any of the mics mentioned in this thread including the EV767. Because I did alot of live recording I have also listened to most of them in a studio environment through very revealing monitors. Other than some of the Heil offerings none of the dynamic PA mics (The KSM105 is a condensor) are even close to what I use in the studio if you really want the "best" as far as clarity and detail, but most of those really would not work that well in a live situation. As Jay mentioned I don't think anyone in the audience would ever notice the difference.Would I rather mix on a ND767 than a SM58? Of course! I own SM58's for business reasons and the better mics I own (except for some e835's I have had for years) are much much better than either the SM58 or EV757. By the way I prefer the SM58 over the e835 most of the time.
