Members TexasAxeSlinger Posted September 20, 2008 Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 Hey Guys. Play Guitar and will use for vocals for home recording and also LIVE for Vocals (at home) with my Mixer (Peavey PV14-USB) and New Mackie SRM 450 V2's Powered Speakers. I was looking at a Shure SM58, but these got good reviews??? I want to mainly use this for vocals in home studio. Also will this sound good just singing into it LIVE through my PA sustem? The Cheaper AT2020 is $99.00 This one goes up to $199 at MF, but might get it NEW for $100 so thats a good deal and that is with the shockmount. Anything else better or what are YOUR opinions on this Mic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kevinnem Posted September 20, 2008 Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 This mic s FANTASTIC for vocals and accousti/electric guitar in the studio. It is very good at electric guitar live. It is very bad for vocals live, because it is prone to feed back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TexasAxeSlinger Posted September 20, 2008 Author Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 So If I am sitting in my house with an acoustic into the Mackie SRM 450V2's and I have this Mic on a stand to sing with it won't be too good? Maybe a Shurme SM58 is better for this???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A condensor mic like this will pick up a lot and it's very prone to feedback. Unless your Mackie is in the next room, you're looking for trouble. You're much better off with a SM58. Other mic suggestions would be Beta58, Sennheisers, Audix OM's. I have the AT 3035 and use it when I record. Do you have a graphic EQ for feedback?

Members Singin' Dave Posted September 23, 2008 Members Share Posted September 23, 2008 +1 on the advice above. I have two AT3035's and they are excellent studio mics for the money. We use them for vocals, acoustic guitar, guitar and bass cab micing during recording and as room mics into a separate board during "live" practices and they do a great job. But if your intention is to sing into a mic whose signal is going through a board and into a couple of powered speakers/monitors, you are better off with a dynamic mic like a SM58 et al.
