RE: [Harp-L] mic

[Tom Ball <havaball@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Mike,
For hear-a-pin-drop-quiet concerts, AKG C535EB. These are condenser 
mics, omni-directional, requiring phantom power. Excellent mics, but 
hyper-efficient at picking up the dog barking outside the hall.

For general (ie noisier, club type) gigs: Shure 545SD.  Personally I 
think these sound better than 57s or 58s, plus they have an off-on 
switch so you can discuss the scenery in the third row without 
getting busted.   :)

Very happy with both.

cheers,
TB

>  O.K. techies, i gotta question. What mic would you recommend as a best
choice for both singing and playing through?Mic should be fairly clean
sounding as befits the style of music i play. Just want to add a bit of
vocal occasionally. thanks
