Re: [Harp-L] looking for a good acoustic mic

[MundHarp@xxxxxxx]

If you want a good "acoustic" mic for using "on the road"... I truly don't 
think that you can do better than the Shure SM 58... Particularly the version 
with an "on/off"switch... After years and years they are STILL the "industry 
standard "... They are relatively cheep and VERY robust... IMHO one of the best 
mics EVER... Also, if you "cup" them you can even get a "Chicago" distorted 
sound too (BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO)... Do not go for a condenser mic for "on the 
road" use... They are too fragile & DON'T go for ANY mic that need "batteries 
"... They ALWAYS let you down in the middle of a performance... But the best 
thing to do is try several different mics until you find one that suits YOU,  and 
that suits your PA. too!
