Members joncyberboy Posted January 24, 2010 Members Share Posted January 24, 2010 Depends what for. SM57 is a great all rounder, especially with a decent pre-amp. Use it on guitars, vocals and snares all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MrNixon Posted January 24, 2010 Members Share Posted January 24, 2010 i really love using Beyer M88s on guitar cabinets. its like an SM57 without a blanket - transparency in the highs/mids and a much phatter bottom. huuuuge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Devi Ever Posted January 24, 2010 Members Share Posted January 24, 2010 Sennheiser 441 ... because I SAID SO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ArrMatey Posted January 24, 2010 Members Share Posted January 24, 2010 audio technica ae3000 coupled with a sm57: both together is the most amazing combination for rock amps in large room. The ae gives you a great fullness while the 57 gives you all the definition. Other notable mics: audix d6, great kick drum mic for heavy rock/metal. I like sennheiser e604 for toms: easy and usually get a nice tom sound, as long as it's decently tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wjbratcher Posted January 24, 2010 Members Share Posted January 24, 2010 my favorite mic that I have (not a fancy collection at all) is my audio technica at4047. It works on a lot of stuff. I would love to have a really nice sdc like a neumann km84 or something. I haven't tried enough mics to pick a favorite. I love AKG c414s, but not everyone does.

I love AKG c414s, but not everyone does. 414s on acoustic are gorgeous. they're especially in their element as room mics while tracking drums.

Members crowguitar Posted January 24, 2010 Members Share Posted January 24, 2010 1.SM87 or Sennheiser E-series for Vox (SM58 for rough gigs or when sharing) -Both extremely accurate mics (SM87 & E935) and high headroom b4 feedback or distortion. Great for singers with unusual voices and suitable for all ranges. 2. Sennheiser MD 421 or 609 for guitars - Great balanced tone. easy to find the amps sweet spot. Usually coupled with a SM57 in the studio = magic!the 609 works better for live applications. Good noise rejection while retaining tone of ur amp. Not as touchy as a SM57 on stage. 3. And I agree with Devi on the 441!... the upgrade of the MD421.. but I only own the 421 and not the 441... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dissentience Posted January 24, 2010 Members Share Posted January 24, 2010 For micing amps, Sennheiser e609 is pure win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted January 24, 2010 Members Share Posted January 24, 2010 I'm a singer more than a guitar player, and I love the sound of the NTK on vocals. It also sounds great with acoustic guitar and percussion. I haven't tried it yet with amps or drums, but I'll bet I can make it sound good.

Members christianatl Posted January 24, 2010 Members Share Posted January 24, 2010 Another +1 on the SM57. I absolutely prefer it to the 58 for vocals. You can blow the {censored} out of that tiny diaphragm and it distorts in a very pleasing way, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members figjamaussie Posted January 24, 2010 Members Share Posted January 24, 2010 SM57 is a great all rounder, use it as a close mic, room mic, vocals, guitar, drums. Sennheiser E609 is a great close mic, use it on vocals sometimes. Otherwise it's a Green Bullet through a Big Muff or an actual megaphone for dirty vocals.

Members kpd78 Posted January 24, 2010 Members Share Posted January 24, 2010 the ones i use the most are: AKG C4000B Shure SM57 Royer R-122 Groove Tubes GT30 if i had to pick a favourite, i'd say the C4000B - it does a great job with every sound source i've tried with it (vocals, various acoustic instruments, percussion) and the look and build quality is exceptional; more than a match for far more expensive mics in my opinion.

There are soo many mics out there that kill the 103 in that price range. The 103 would be a great mic if it cost about $300 IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
