The ubiquitous SM7B (podcasting) and SM58 (live vocals) are both dynamic mics.
- lmpdev 4y agoThe SM58 is by a large margin the most popular vocal mic in the world The SM57 is also an industry staple for pretty much everything from drums to guitar to field recordings
- squarefoot 4y agoThe SM57 and the SM58 are essentially the same thing, except for the 58 foam screen that makes it more suitable for miking singers, while the 57 is more suitable for instruments. They both are rock solid pieces of gear that won't disappoint, and when more sensitivity is needed, an external preamp such as a Triton Audio, Klark Teknik or a similar one will quietly provide more gain without the need for a more expensive mic. If you want to purchase one of the above mics, beware of the numerous fakes around, and buy only from reputable vendors.
