Members Hunter6 Posted November 23, 2007 Members Share Posted November 23, 2007 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sunburstbasser Posted November 23, 2007 Members Share Posted November 23, 2007 Theres that catch-all, the SM 57. I've yet to run into anything it DOESN'T do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soundministries Posted November 23, 2007 Members Share Posted November 23, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TimOBrien Posted November 24, 2007 Members Share Posted November 24, 2007 Sennheiser MD-421. You're not going to find it for $100, but it'll do a great job on vocals and horns. Well worth the extra cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkZ Posted November 25, 2007 Members Share Posted November 25, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Alan1123 Posted November 26, 2007 Members Share Posted November 26, 2007 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.
