WTB: dynamic vocal mic for live use

skitzigol

As per the title, I’m looking for a mic to use live in a hardcore punk band. Lots of shouting, occasional singing. SM58 is an obvious choice, but I don’t see many mics advertised on here so let me know what you might have as surplus to requirements!

@kennedydream1980 - thanks for the link. I’ve read about these, but some iffy reviews on QC. Any personal experience with them?

I used one for years in my band. Never had a problem and it sounded great. If it ever did break I would have just bought another one.

+1 they are great - I use one live for duos and dad rock trio ( I am guitarist/singer)

I’ve got an Audix OM3 you can have for £55? Good reviews against a ‘58.

@robwright - I’ll have a look into them, thanks

@robwright I’m going down the Behringer route for now - prob pick up a new SM58 when it’s time to gig in the new year. Thanks though!
