| looking for a good live vocal mic for female with brassy voice I joined a band with a singer who has a very cool sexy voice. That is until she turns it up a few notches. It gets pretty brassy. So when I recorded her I went to the dynamic mics and a ribbon which is not ever going to go into a bar. The ribbon was the ticket. Can anyone suggest a road durable ribbon mic ? Something that might sound like an R84 without being an R84. I thought about a cascade or one of the chinese built units since they are only a few hundred bucks. Is there a better alternative? An SM57 or 58 is still too harsh for her. We will be using a mackie vlz board most of the time. Thanks Eric |

| APEX mics I'm not sure they are road worthy, but cheap enough and sound unexpectedly good. I think you could buy about ten of them for the price of an active Royer. Apex Electronics: Quality Above All I've heard Dave Thomas (not the Wendy's guy, and not the Mackenzie brother) in Vancouver is modding them to great effect. I've heard a unmodded they sound pretty good even just out of the box. Dave does good work, but I've heard he can get behind in orders (i.e. slow sometimes)
