You can get very good vocals with an SM58, but nice call on the B1. I've not worked with this one yet... but, if it really brings a good condenser sound, then yea, I'd pick this one up.

There is no point getting a really expensive condenser studio mic unless you have the facilities to use it, they are really really sensitive and you will frustrate the snot out of yourslef with background noise unless you have a propper dead room to work with. i have a 1200 dollar audio technica condesner mic but i also built a dead room to record in.


in all honesty if your recording in your bedroom or living room or whatever, the shure SM58 is hands down THE BEST choice for A: price and B: quality of sound in an environment with shitty acoustics. get a half decent pop screen for it (4 layer) and the sound quality will be far easier to work with.

i have tried using my condeser outside the deadroom but there is way to much background noise i have to filter out afterwards.

well 250€ is around 490 dollers soo yea I think your in the range of a decent condensor mic. 500 bucks isnt exactly the "cheapest" so

No... I don't have dead room
Just this small "studio" corner in living room...
So there are lots of lovely backround noises...

I'll take a betetr look for that Shure SM58...

If you are indeed going the dynamic microphone route, at least look into the Sennheiser e835. It is, in every way, superior to the SM58 (not just saying this to start more shit). It's the slightest bit more sensitive, it has AWESOME front-to-back noise rejection, can handle higher SPL's and is equally as durable (meaning, you can also use this as a hammer). And it's only about $20US more than the 58.

Hi!
Thanks again

This is very helpfull, there are some mic names/types I didn't even know!
And things like the fact that I don't have dead room...

Thanks again!

And I'll tke a look at the e835
