Norfolk DJ 0 Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Hi all I'm looking to replace one of my microphones. I'm not planning to sing through, so just a good quality corded PA mic for general use. Budget to £100 Link to post Share on other sites
superstardeejay 0 Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 SM58 is the obvious one of course, I like the ones with switch for DJ use. It is still a good all rounder and a safe bet. Sennheiser E845 is also good for low feedback but I always end up thinking how tatty Sennheiser E series get after alot of use, the grey paint rubs away and makes it look a mess. .

Tommo55 0 Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 As per previously I use a Shure SM58 when talking and a Shure Bets SM58a when singing, easily identifiable as the beta has a blue ring around the grill the other a silver one. But both are great mics will take some punishment whilst on the road and are available within budget if you look hard enough! As Superstar suggests get a SM58s as it has a switch on its body to turn it on and off (No embarrasing comments caught through the PA.....see :joe: Gordon Brown!) and you leave the levels set on the mixer.

Dukesy 0 Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Another vote for the SM58 here. A great all round performer and fairly robust for all types of work and its been the microphone of choice for many for decades. Link to post Share on other sites
superstardeejay 0 Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 and an SM58 has a good resale value! . Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh Audio Man 21 0 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Another +1 for the Shure SM58. Got cases of the sodding things, but very robust and a very popular mic worldwide. Also a massive fan of Sennheisers. Link to post Share on other sites
