RE: [Harp-L] Tom Ball suggests a Shure SM-54 mic?

["steve" <mudharp@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The SM 54 is just a tad bigger than the SM 53 and both are low Z and they have an inductor for bass rolloff inside the mic.
If I remember the output is low at about -60db with a very smooth frequency response throughout.
The 54 is less prone to breath pop than the 53.  These mics have screen openings on both sides of the shell head as well as the top grill.

On Richard Hunter's site, hunterharp.com, on Tom Ball's suggestions re  <br>getting a clean sound, he mentions the discontinued model SM54 as being a great  <br>high Z alternative to the low Z SM 57 or 58.  I just went to  the Shure site, <br>and see no mention of it, neither in existing mics or  discontinued mics.  In <br>fact, I see no SM models in discontinued mics.  Anyone have any knowledge of <br>this mic?<br>ron<br>_______________________________________________<br>Harp-L is sponsored by SPAH, http://www.spah.org<br>Harp-L@xxxxxxxxxx<br>http://harp-l.org/mailman/listinfo/harp-l<br>
