Members Unalaska Posted February 23, 2005 Members Share Posted February 23, 2005 Sorry but it looks really cheazy. I tend not to trust mics lower in the ffod chain than a 57/58. Only ones I use are the SHS OM500 and SHS OM450 and those are dead knockoffs. Most peeps can't tell and I have to look for the label to know which is which. For instrument mics that pickup noise they might not be to bad. I bought some V-Tech 1090's like 8 years ago that did pretty well, but when you have 57's around why use substandard mics? There are plenty of instrument mic options and now the market is seeing more budget instrument mics (thanx to the home recording craze). p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aerorockjax Posted April 27, 2006 Members Share Posted April 27, 2006 A much better bet would to get a used shure sm57. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Unalaska Posted April 28, 2006 Members Share Posted April 28, 2006 Ug, in my quest to try every crappy mic out there, the VTech 1040 and 1030's were really bad. Back in college the band I was playing in convinced my to buy a couple since they were cheap. It made noise but that's the only good side. I can't say enough about getting 57's or better when buying mics.p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TimmyP Posted April 29, 2006 Members Share Posted April 29, 2006 For instruments, get Sennheiser 609s or used Audix D4s. For vocals, get Sennheiser 835s @ three for under $200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
