D5 S : Better than the SM-58
A great vocal mic that suits a higher voice. The bass response from these mics is quite high which can enrich a higher voice. I wouldn't advise getting one if your voice is already quite bassy.
From my experience the cardioid pattern is a bit tighter than the SM-58 which means you will need to be facing directly into the mic more than an SM-58. This reduces the chances of feedback on a properly set up stage. However if you move out of the cardioid pattern your voice will lose volume & clarity quicker than you would with other mics with a larger cardioid pattern.
I have 2 of these mics and use them every weekend. They have never let me down. Have used them for recording vocals, guitars and snare with nice results as well.
A great price for a great mic.
