ShureSM86 Cardioid Condenser Vocal Microphone for Professional Use in Live Performance with Built-in 3-Point Shock Mount, 2-Stage Pop Filter to Reduce Wind/Breath Noise, No Cable Included (SM86-LC)

This handheld mic is similar in performance to the Beta 87 with the feeling of auto-compression as you sing, but if you’ve got any power to your voice, the 87 exhibits a “sizzle” in the upper mids that I find unpleasant. There’s no such overload using the SM86, and more, when you ease off the mic, there’s a nice bloom of openness. The detail and interest in midrange is breathtaking for this being a handheld. A friend recommended this mic, who himself became a fan after meeting the vocalist of NeedToBreathe, who was singing through an SM86 at the time. I formerly have been singing into a Sennheiser e935, which is also a great mic. The 935 is similar to the Beta 58, but can be gained higher before overload and this dynamic mic is still useful to me in a band setting on a small stage. When I have a larger stage or perform solo, the SM86 is my mic of choice.If you’re the kind of vocalist that sings with a lot of dynamic and who’s not crammed into a small space with drums or horns, this is the sleeper mic you’ve been looking for.

Lo trovo incredibilmente versatile, ottimo sulle voci, molto realistico, un SM58 a condensatore per intenderci. Non lo considera mai nessuno ma secondo me vale molto per quel che costa.

Love this mic sooo much better than the sm58. It’s nice to have a vocal mic at a good price.
