[Dixielandjazz] Microphones

Hi rob:

They are pretty much the standard of the industry for workhorses and 
all around mics.  that is usually what you get when they are supplied 
by a sound company unless you request something specific and they 
happen to have it.

Personally I think that a horn player who needs a microphone in any gig 
other than a  very large venue  (say 500 seats or more)
  is a WIMP of a player unless he is playing with an amplified Rock 
band.   All those Big bands that played all those Hotel Ballrooms with 
capacity of 500 to 1,500 people never used them.

Cheers,

Tom Play it loud  and make em dance Wiggins

   Hello all, 
 
  Looking for opinions on performance microphones. I was going to pick 
up a Shure SM58, since I need a vocal mike (and wanted to spend $100 or 
less--which is what they run), but I really also need it to double as a 
horn solo mike. Does the SM58 respond well to instruments, or does it 
strictly work best as a voice microphone? Does anyone have a favorite? 
 
 Any thoughts are appreciated. 
 
 All the best, 
 Rob McCallum
