USB Mics

100% agree and Ola mics his cabs with a SM58 too. Afaik the main difference between the 57 and 58 is the grill? He compares them both here.

Let’s just say I didn’t find it worth the money to buy the 57 just for that tiny bit of difference. I rather use DI anyway. :wink:

The grill and the shape of the area it is sensitive in, yeah. Otherwise they are close.

Love my SM58 and wish I had gone with it from the start.

After a little more research (there goes yesterdays practice sessions) I agree. :slightly_smiling_face:

Somewhere in my stash I have several Behringer mics from many years ago.
If I can’t find them I will pick up an SM58 when the stores open again.
Ontario just went into full lockdown, AGAIN.

For now though I will go the DAI route until I need a mic.

Go SM57 if your focus is instrument. Go SM58 if your focus is vocal. They work both ways tho. Some Behringers mics aren’t that bad either!
