Dynamic mic questions
I have a Yoga DM-330B dynamic mic
Questions: I can't find any info on it....is it any good ? I know it is horses for courses with mics. What might this one be useful for ? Can anyone point me to a spec ? For some reason, XLR shield (pin1) is internally connected to one of the outputs. The only way I can get reasonable noise/hum levels is to disconnect the shield connection in the mic.cable XLR connector at the mic. end. Why have they done this to what I thought should be a balanced output ? To avoid having to use a modified mic. cable would it be a good idea to open it up and remove this internal connection ? |

Why have they done this to what I thought should be a balanced output ? Probably been used with an unbalanced input - this might improve handling noise.

Yes. -- *Remember not to forget that which you do not need to know.* Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

"TonyL" I have a Yoga DM-330B dynamic mic ** Chinese junk. Suit a jerk off like you just fine. Questions: I can't find any info on it....is it any good ? I know it is horses for courses with mics. What might this one be useful for ? ** Karaoke is the main app. Can anyone point me to a spec ? ** ROTFL !! For some reason, XLR shield (pin1) is internally connected to one of the outputs. ** The Chinese like to do that - seen it done with fake Shure Beta 58As. The only way I can get reasonable noise/hum levels is to disconnect the shield connection in the mic.cable XLR connector at the mic. end. ** Shows you must be using a pile of **** for a pre-amp. Why have they done this.. ** Ahhhh - is ancient Chinese recipe ..... ROTFL !! ...... Phil |

Spit and bear breath....right, he he.
I'm not particularly impressed with vocal performance with this mic. For tests I'm listening via a Roland UA-25 USB Audio capture unit switched to Direct Monitor mode and driving a pair of Sennheiser HD 280 cans. I know that dynamic mics aren't known for their HF response but I was expecting more crispness. At this time I don't have any gear to do proper measurements so I'm reliant on my own ears... I've ordered a SM 58, will be interesting to compare.

Certainly not sound quality. -- *I don't have a solution, but I admire your problem. * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

Certainly not sound quality. I know it is not the most sensitive mic and doesn't do much above 13 kHz or so. Could you clarify what else it is about the SM 58 that you dislike ? I'm hoping to use it for vocals and maybe acoustic guitar. |

They never sound 'clean' and pop badly when used close on the voice. The very thing they're designed for. I'm hoping to use it for vocals and maybe acoustic guitar. Is this for recording purposes or for live gigs? Those requirements are very different. -- *Sticks and stones may break my bones but whips and chains excite me* Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |
