You fools know anything about mics over here?

K so this is pretty much a crosspost, I posted this in the bass forum.

 

So.

I need a microphone, but I need something that can handle the extreme power of my 'boning and my yelling into it.

Preferably dynamic, preferably >$100, if possible.

 

So, what'chu guys recommend for a mic that can handle trombone AND vocals, as I really don't want to have two mics...

Audio Technica AE 6100. I've been using these with my sound company for the last few years and absolutely love them. They've taken everything I've thrown at them and have never complained a bit.

 

If you want to go with a condenser then I'd recomend the Audio Technica AE5400 (Might be wrong on the number but it's the condenser in the Artist Elite line). Again, I own a couple of them and love them for just about everything.

SM57 is a good choice. I would suggest buying a new one. These mics take a lot of abuse (in keeping with your specs) and there's no telling what a used one may have gone through.

 

For an underrated inexpensive horn mic, check out a discontinued Audix D6 if you can find one. This came very high recommended to me by a friend who is a veteran studio engineer. IIRC, the D6 sold for around $100 new.

Hi -

 

I use an Electro Voice PL11 (discontinued)

 

These use what EV calls a Variable D - which eliminates proximity effect (boominess). It can take loud volumes - up close. You can eat the mic - or back away with out any eq changes noticable.

 

It was sold to me as a mic for my horn - and I love it! and it works well for vocals.

 

Tried to paste in a picture ...
