Shure Beta 58 A
Product information "Shure Beta 58 A"
The Shure BETA 58A is a high output supercardioid dynamic vocal microphone designed for professional sound reinforcement and project studio recording. It maintains a true supercardioid pattern throughout its frequency range. This ensures high gain before feedback, maximum isolation from other sound sources, and minimum off-axis tone colouration.
The BETA 58A has a shaped frequency response that is ideal for close-up vocals. The superb performance of this microphone is not affected by rough handling because of its rugged construction, proven shock mount system, and hardened steel mesh grille. Typical applications for the BETA 58A include lead vocals, backup vocals, and speech.

What are handheld vocal microphones?
Microphones that you hold in your hands while performing are considered as handheld vocal microphones. These microphones have to fulfill certain criteria. They need to offer high feedback-rejection and most of them feature cardioid, supercardioid or hypercardioid polar patterns. In addition they are required to provide a rugged construction, full bass and crispy highs. Their frequency response is usually tailored, because these microphones are designed for vocal pickup. Models featuring a pronounced proximity effect are frequently used. When choosing a mic, you should also make sure that wind and breath "pop" noise as well as handling noise are sufficiently suppressed.

Super Micro für Sologesang.
für mich nicht passend
Ich hatte einige Jahre das SM58 in Gebrauch und mein Gesang war im Bandkontext nie wirklich gut zu hören. Immer etwas mulmiger Sound. Mit dem Beta 58 A ist das deutlich besser geworden. Endlich ein präsenter, knackiger Sound. Ich bin sehr zufrieden damit.
Habs ausprobiert, ist super!
Good one
