Members cappttenron Posted April 19, 2016 Members Share Posted April 19, 2016 The band is getting ready to replace the female singers old mic and I'm looking for suggestions? Gain before feedback is very important and yes she does stay on the mic. She has an older sennheiser model now forget the number but its one of cheaper ones; Budget is to keep it under 200 dollars.

Members Luckenbacher Posted April 20, 2016 Members Share Posted April 20, 2016 A pink one? I can sing a lot higher and lower than my wife I don't think that there are genders to mics. What doesn't she like about the current mic? For things like this, I just use SM58s, but I am not picky and I don't like to think about some things more than I have to... they work fine for most applications, are rugged enough, available everywhere.

Members wesg Posted April 21, 2016 Members Share Posted April 21, 2016 Think about auditioning the EV ND767A. On sale right now at Sweetwater for $79. Very tight pattern and a nice hot signal. Wes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dedmeet Posted April 21, 2016 Members Share Posted April 21, 2016 You should borrow or rent a variety of mics and test them in a band context before buying. That said, I have had some good luck with these models, which you may want to look into testing: Sennheiser e935 and e945EV N/D 767 Where are you located, OP? I bet some folks on here would let you borrow some mics for the cost of a seat at the show and a beer or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pro Sound Guy Posted April 25, 2016 Members Share Posted April 25, 2016 All good suggestions. The EV N/D 967 is excellent for female VOX and has a much higher gain before feedback then the EV N/D 767Excellent mic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kalina2 Posted April 29, 2016 Members Share Posted April 29, 2016 Shure 55SH MkII it looks very stylish and well conveys female vocals, but likes to be licked. LOL \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hammondman Posted May 2, 2016 Members Share Posted May 2, 2016 I'd also recommend the Sennheiser E935, E945 series. The EV n/d767a is also a good dynamic mic and they are being discontinued so can be had cheap. Guitar Center were selling some recently for $49 which is a complete bargain!

Members Bobby1Note Posted May 4, 2016 Members Share Posted May 4, 2016 I've got a bunch of each of those; N/Dym 767a, e935, and e945. The super-cardioid 767a is particularly bright,,,and cuts through a mix like crazy. Tthe e935(cardioid) is more middle-of-the-road in character,,,, but the e945(super-cardioid) stands alone character-wise. Very rich/warm/mellow sounding mic. (if that suits her voice).
