"Dave Plowman (Nutcase) "

I've ordered a SM 58, will be interesting to compare.

The SM 58 is one of the most over-rated mics ever.


** On the contrary - the Shure SM58's good reputation for live vocal work
is well justified. Since the late 1960s, it has LITERALLY set the standard
for ALL vocal mics in both appearance and sound quality to follow.

Its only virtues are robustness and reasonable noise cancellation.


** You are allowed to have that opinion

- but it is the view of a ****ing idiot.


Certainly not sound quality.


** That so many folk PREFER the results given by the SM58 and many other
mics that are essentialy clones of it, proves there is nothing wrong with
the design.

Cerainly, there are some Shure mic haters out there - just like there are
rabid racists, religious bigots and all kinds of ratbags and mental
defectives who try to foist their mad opionion on others.

Dave Plowman is a first class example of the above.
