Members IsildursBane Posted November 9, 2009 Members Share Posted November 9, 2009 The title says it all. At the church I mix at, someone managed to drop a 58 in the (full) baptismal, so I now have justification to get a new mic for the lead singer. He's got a decent voice, but it's kind of breathy and nasally and the 58 doesn't help. I'd like something with a bit more body & presence. I've tried and liked the Telefunken M-80 with this singer, but at $249, that might be pushing the budget a bit. I've been out of the live sound loop for a while, so I either haven't tried most of the other options or have forgotten what they sounded like. I was hoping you kind folks could offer a few suggestions. FWIW, I did try the search function - I know there have been threads on this, but apparently Search is broken. -Dan.

Members Mogwix Posted November 9, 2009 Members Share Posted November 9, 2009 audix OM6? Audio-Technica AE4100? lower-cost but excellent: sennheiser e835, audio-technica ATM410. all of these mics will perform well, an SM58 will and does too, but I know it's going to take some work with the channel EQ to get them to sound right with this singer.

Members Special J Posted November 9, 2009 Members Share Posted November 9, 2009 Probably also out of your budget, but I've had really good luck with a Beyer M88 on nasally vocals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators MarkGifford-1 Posted November 9, 2009 Moderators Share Posted November 9, 2009 Did you move the baptismal font? That would determine what I'd buy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tuchan Posted November 9, 2009 Members Share Posted November 9, 2009 If you can find one, a Samson S12 may help you out here. I have a couple here I use for some of the larger than life big bloke singers and find descent results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members IsildursBane Posted November 11, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 11, 2009 Some vocal lessons? I'm sure they'd help to a degree (and I'm a big advocate of vocal lessons in general), but sometimes people just have a quality to their voice that you have to deal with. He sings the same way that he talks and it's not inappropriate for the genre. -Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
