GLS Audio Vocal Microphone ES-58-S & Mic Clip - Professional Series ES58-S Dynamic Cardioid Mike Unidirectional (With On/Off Switch)

It's right here. A mic that compares to the SM-58. But, let's be honest, the 58 isn't particularly impressive. If you ask me, it's worn out and way overrated. br>br>Does it sound identical to a 58? No. Close? Maybe. Personally, what are your thoughts on this? It has a better ring to it. To me, it appears that it is hotter and clearer. Can it hold a candle to my Telefunken M-100? Hardly. Is it comparable to the sm58, which has a reputation for being overrated? That's for sure. With the help of some friends, I blind tested this and a few other "good" mics. The 58 was overshadowed by this microphone. In fact, they all chose it as the second or third choice from the group. One of the condensers was a Beta 87! br>br>How much is it worth? It's all about Toledo, y'all. 3-piece sets are available for purchase. For the price of one, you can get five of them for the price of one. In that sense, they're a squander. It's not a big deal if something is dropped, stolen, or lost. That being said, what should I do until I get the Telefunken? For the past ten years, I've been using one of these. One. The only drawback is that the grille has become rusted. br>br>ONLY ONE CON If you or your vocalist is holding the microphone in your hand? This isn't the microphone you're looking for. There is far too much handling noise, to the point of being obscene. On a solid floor, on a stand? It's not an issue. Hollow floors can also cause noise through the stand, which can be easily corrected with a rubber clip or a mat under the stand. This is one area where I believe the Shure easily wins. Internal shockmounting on the Shure is much better. This is based on real-world experience. But it makes no difference if yours is always in a stand. br>br>In conclusion, these mics are excellent for the money. At this price point, it's probably the best on the market. This is unquestionably a better buy than the Shure.

GLS microphones have long been a favorite of mine. This microphone was primarily purchased for use by MCs. It's been compared to one of the most popular microphones of all time, and I challenge you to hear a difference if you look past the label. I've been recommending this mic for years, and the price makes it even more appealing.

For the price ($29), this is an excellent microphone. 99), but I wouldn't pay the full price of $119 for it. It costs $99 to buy. Many people have compared it to the Shure SM 58, so I decided to put them side by side and see how they compare. This mic sounds muffled when compared to the Shure SM 58, but it seems to project louder. All of that can be balanced out with a few equalizer adjustments on your mixer. The handling noise was the biggest difference I noticed: Shure SM 58 mics have a shock mount system that is designed to reduce handling noise (i. e. grabbing the microphone, putting it in and out of the stand, and so on. ) The S lacks this feature and picks up the noise of moving the mic around and using the built-in switch to turn it on and off. This is a great mic for the price if you aren't going to move it around, but the Shure SM 58 is the way to go if you want top quality and are willing to spend $100 on a mic.

This mic doesn't sound like an sm58, but rather like a beta58, and some claim it has a neodymium magnet like the beta series. I haven't seen any official confirmation of this, but it wouldn't surprise me if it were true. This mic, like the 58, has a foam-covered body. filled basket, and it's simple to unscrew the basket (Teflon threads are visible). You can reversibly pull out the foam with a jewelers screwdriver if you're careful (it's definitely not Shure build quality). This will remove the veil from the top end (you'll be amazed at the difference with no basket at all, which will also open up the low end if you're willing to risk a $25 mic flying bare), and give a much more natural presentation than a foam veil, in my opinion. If you want to roll off the brights, almost any equalizer is likely to be better than foam. br>br>The capsule assembly is just a rubber cylinder in the body; pull it out and there's a lot of hot glue inside, but I can't see if there's a transformer encased. The switch is obnoxious and pops, but this switched version is currently $25, while the 57 version is $40, so I saved $15 and ended up with a sound that is likely identical. br>br>I'm considering using it on snare and guitar cab, but I won't be singing through it, so don't worry about the lack of foam. Even after adding a transformer, I found this mic to be superior to the $12 Pyle 78 57 clone. Those, on the other hand, sound like an sm57.

My first time using a microphone was when I was asked to host a trivia night at a local brewery. It was a powerful and clear sound. It was a huge success. br>Last night, I used it during band practice. It was crystal clear once more. It was able to keep up with the bandmates' other Shure mics. br>I replaced the GLS with my SM57, which was muddier. I bought a few more because I can get three of these microphones for the same price as one Shure. br>This microphone has a similar weight and solidity to the Shure. I'm a big supporter.

The 58 has a slightly brighter sound than the Shure. This, however, is not necessarily a negative thing. I'm glad my mic collection has such a wide range of sounds! The GLS mic, like the Shure, is well-made (almost indestructible!). ) and it's a great addition to my library! Both mics appear to have the same pickup sensitivity, but as I previously stated, the ES-100 has a higher pickup sensitivity. On the high end, 58 appears to be brighter. Overall, I'm pleased with my purchase, and the price is unbeatable! Thank you very much!.
