Best Shure Beta 58 A Alternatives

Based on 5 reviews

Audix OM mics are known for being extremely efficient in reducing feedback issues on stage, and the OM5 is at the top of the line from this point of view, on par with the more expensive OM7. To obtain the best results, it's not a secret that you have to be right "on" the mic, with your lips close or touching the grille. There is little proximity effect, so no bass boominess even singing very close to the capsule. The OM5 has also the characteristic bass roll-off below 120Hz, but it doesn't mean that the mic sounds thin: it just takes out mudding frequencies you'd cut anyway, and makes the vocal sound clear and smooth. Construction is solid, and the finish looks sleek. The price seems just right, for a professional quality mic built in the US.

When there is a discussion about mics, many "singers" just jump on the wagon of the two usual brands, a bit like a football supporters, there is the team A and the Team B. When my Beta58 was almost 20 years I thought it was time to replace it. Instead of jumping on the traditional wagons, I decided to spend some time researching everything, especially professional singers (the kind who fill arenas) that my timbre is closer to. I bumped into this Audia-Technica a couple of times. If it is good enough for Elton John, it should be good enough for me. What a jump in sound quality! I'm not a Pavarotti, but this mic actually made a noticeable difference. I sound much better and crisp. Totally fan of my new mic! Now, as advice, the best mic for me (or Elton John :) is not...

I love EV Microphones, this was my latest Ev mic of a small collection I have dating back to 1974 yep mic nerd. The thing is with EV they have never lost quality every mic they design is awesome. The PL80a is no exception with its a rugged well built chassis with exceptional sound response,the lows are warm and the highs cut right through the mix, It is a very clear sounding microphone that picks up every little nuance of the voice, I impersonate many male singers to a very high quality and I need a mic that accurately gives me what I put into the mic plus a few cheats to get that across this mic performs I love it and it looks so professional on stage and on photographs. I prefer Ev to other well known mic company's and I do own most of the Industry standards but for a dynamic mic you...

This is the best option for those who need to use an harmonica microphone attached to a tripod, because it comes with the mic stand adaptor on it (5/8'' thread). It's quite comparable to the green bullet in the sense of shape and quality, nice capsule, clear and no-feedback sound, including a vollume knob on it. Perfect for stage jams and recordings! Beautiful vintage style and solid cable. Plus, it's a hyper cardiod mic, which means you don't have to be so close to it in order to have a clear sound.

I was looking for a microphone for small noisy scenes. I was thinking of buying an Audix OM7. But MD 445 was interested in the fact that it is a new product. And that is expensive enough. If it costs a lot, maybe it really has some parameters that surpass other microphones? I find that the MD 445 lacks bass, it sounds kind of narrow. When singing right next to the grill, I don't feel the proximity effect, I don't hear muffled, low frequencies and that's what I like. I expected the MD 445 to be very resistant to feedback. I did the test. The Shure SM58 is less resistant to feedback, but the EV ND96 have about the same resistance. In the description of the microphone, it is written that the MD 445 has a "large diaphragm diameter". But the diaphragm of the MD 445 microphone...

Having relied for years on a microphone built into my gaming headset I decided to take a gamble and buy the Rode M1-S, this was the first professional microphone I bought and the intention is to use it for youtube vid recording and singing, so as you could imagine there is always going to be some anxiety to be felt when buying a microphone, as you're not sure which mic is good. The first impressions of the mic was that there was a bit of weight to it, as I was not expecting it to be as heavy as it is. The design is solid and seems to be built to take punishment (drops to the floor etc) The set up with my Native Instrument Komplete Audio 6 was simple (don't forget to get an XLR cable). The sound quality is amazing, there was no background noise just crystal clear recording, was...

The SM58 is Industry standard fo dynamic handheld mics for a reason. Maybe the Beta58 suits you better, though. A short omparison: 1) Beta58 Hypercardioid, SM58 Cardiod - so the Beta58 shows a significantly more directed pickup pattern, which can be good or bad, depending on how much you can control your mic positon and how the monitors are set up (cardioid is least sensitive on the rear, hypercardioid is least sensitive on the sides). 2) Beta58 has a significantly higher output level at similar SPL - if you are working with less expensive preamps this can be a big advantage. With the SM58, it depends a lot on the preamp used if you get pro level results or not. 3) Beta58 has an extended high frequency response, it's high mids / low highs ('presence') are a little faint, but can be...
