SM58

Hi John. Hope this finds you well.

You seem to be a big fan of the SM58 - guitar amps, vocals, and I'm sure many other applications.

What is it about the character of this mic that draws you to it? Is it the way it lets a track sit in the mix? Takes EQ well?

Just curious. I'm a fan as well, but it's always interesting to hear someone's else take on a mic.

Thanks so much for your time.

Yes. All those things. Its kinda flat compared to 57 and sometimes I take the windshield off and leave it exposed and use them on acoustics etc. Good under piano and takes heavy eq and always works. With a 58, a 67 and D12 you can make a record!
Cheers
