Members DevilRaysFan Posted September 14, 2007 Members Share Posted September 14, 2007 Well, as band #1 continues to work and the new electronica/techno/industrial band #2 goes into woodshed mode (actually, cybernetics lab mode ), I am finding myself in need of a headset mic.. with both hands full of keyboards and, especially with band #2, multi-tasking a Roland MC-303. I know nothing about headset mics...Help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Richy Posted September 14, 2007 Members Share Posted September 14, 2007 Our drummer uses a Shure, dunno what sort, I guess it sounds okay. Just don't have a coughing fit while your playing. That isn't much help, but I couldn't leave you here just talking to yourself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members burdizzos Posted September 14, 2007 Members Share Posted September 14, 2007 You can't just use a boom stand? Garth Brooks and Janet Jackson use this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thelurker Posted September 14, 2007 Members Share Posted September 14, 2007 I used to use the Shure SM-10, but to be honest. the sound is a little thin. There's an AKG that's supposed to be pretty good, and I think Countryman makes a good one. I've never heard a bad sounding Countryman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members burdizzos Posted September 14, 2007 Members Share Posted September 14, 2007 One of these may not be a bad idea if you get the head set. Then you can yell obscenities at the drummer without anyone in the audience hearing you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members picker13 Posted September 14, 2007 Members Share Posted September 14, 2007 I have used the earlier version of Shure's condensor headset microphone, the WH30. I found it to have a very good sound, but it's black and very obvious. I didn't have any problems with feedback, even when I'd go out in front of the stage in the audience. The windscreen frequently came off, and is therefore easy to lose. Perhaps one of the AT thin mics that are biege is the way to go now. Nearly invisible on a caucasian. And I see them on musical performers as well as speakers all the time. But it seems they are all wired for wireless transmittes, unless you get the unterminated version and put on your own XLR male connector. Since you're stationary, you just need the wired version of whatever you get, so there's some savings. Shure WH30XLR 179.99AT ProHEx 69.95AT ATM75 149.95AKG C420 219.99...just a few examples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
