M1 : Good Value - Good Quality

12 years ago

I really can't fault this mic. It seems to suit male and female vocals equally well and has good feedback rejection. I'm using two M1 mics in a male / female duo and the mics give a really nice smooth sound to both voices.

I can't say how good the M1 might be at punching through in a heavy rock mix which is where the SM58 excels, but since getting the M1 my own 58 is now carried as a spare.

.

The mic is very well made, robust and feels like it'll give many years of service.

Nice touches include gold plated XLR pins and it comes with a really good mic holder.
