Members Tomm Williams Posted September 27, 2013 Members Share Posted September 27, 2013 For the last couple of years I've been using the EV 308 in situations where a 57 would be right at home. (just about anything) I originally picked these up to replace my Senn 421's that were just too bulky, heavy, fragile, expensive,etc..... In that role (Sax, horns) they have been a fine replacement. I've been so impressed with this mic that I traded all my 57's to Andy several months back. To me it simply does anything a 57 can do but better. Easier to position, can be found easily under $100 (they're discontinued), a more detailed reproduction and perhaps a bit lighter too. They probably cannot take the abuse like a 57 but I don't treat my gear like that anyway. Given all of it's positive attributes, do believe they are the most useful mics in my locker. If you guys come across one for the right price, don't pass it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members witesol Posted September 27, 2013 Members Share Posted September 27, 2013 I have never used an EV308. Lately I have substituted Heil PR22 and PR 30 for 57s but i still like a 57 on some things. The i5 Audix is a good mic. Anything Audio Technica I tend to like too. I have a Beyer m200 which is really cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RoadRanger Posted September 29, 2013 Members Share Posted September 29, 2013 I like my PL35's - much smaller with an angled connector and integral clip and "free" drum clip . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
