Re: Vocal Mic -
It is more than $100 better than a beta58 though.....
Here's the PR35 for $230 each. Heil PR35 Professional Microphone
Considering the impact a good mic makes, I don't understand why people ever want to cheap out on their mic choices. You'd be further ahead with some great mics and a cheap console than vice versa. Mics are incredibly cheap if you consider things based on how much difference they make in sound quality. We spend tons on all of the electronic bits when the mics and the speakers are where it counts most.....
I did a festival last weekend and used OM7's on some acts, and PR35's on others. The gain before feedback was not that much worse with the 35 than the OM7, and that says a lot. Plenty capable of getting face melting loud monitor levels with a bit of monitor eq if you need to. There was a significant difference in quality though, the PR35 was a lot better than the OM7. It picks up a bit of bleed but not terribly so, and the bleed actually sounds good, unlike many mics.
