I just re-soldered a beat up old pre-1983 SM58. Had to search the internet for instructions as the wiring was different than the 1983-present ones.

Put new foam into the head and it's working great. Bring your Nexadyne back here in 41 years and we'll see how it does.

Hey, I would love another video about mic history! You're a great presenter, and that Shure history video you did left me wanting more. Cheers!

I don't know; it depends on your use case; if I were on a tight budget, I'd take 3x sm58s over one Nexadyne. And I'd rather have a ton of mic sources over sharing mic's.. Additionally, if you are working with kids or amateurs, 58's are also quite durable.

The 58 is like the strat. .in will always have a place on stage.

That mic has a lot of clarity...suits your voice well. Very natural sounding.

[GusLozadaTV]

Thanks for the review. The $100 USD price for the SM58 compared to the Nexodyne's $300 will ensure the SM58 keeps being the weapon of choice for the majority

Thanks again Aiden so much for coming out and letting Lady Soul try out the Nexadyne!!! If I did not already have my BETA 58 mic, and was looking to upgrade, I personally would choose the Nexadyne over it. From the vocalists point of view, I would say it did make what I was hearing back sound a bit more "natural". However I would make the change if for nothing else the shape. Having the mic be concave where it goes to your mouth sat very comfortably. For any of us who have gotten a mic in the face from a rowdy crowd, that alone would be worth the slight upgrade in cost over the BETA. Great video. Thanks so much!

To my ears the sound was indistinguishable from that of the Beta 58A. The big advantage was in the difference in handling noise. Is it worth $300? I guess that's a matter of taste and budget.

I bought the Nexadyne 8C about six weeks ago and I'm loving it! (I also have a Sennheiser e935 and a Neumann KMS105, but the Shure Nexadyne is my default choice, mainly because it sounds consistent even when you move your head a little off axis - the Sennheiser sounds fine only when you stay on axis and up close, while the Neumann is also very natural sounding but can be overly sensitive in some environments; the Nexadyne simply works!

[HybridIncome]

I own both and when I use the new Shure Nexadyne 8s there is more of a condenser clarity in the sound and it is easier for my voice to stand above the music. It just makes it easier to sing. And yes for me that's worth the extra money and price for entry. PS I also own a KSM9 and the new 8 s sounds better, the KSM 9 is better for mid range but muffles the clarity that the Nexadyne 8 s delivers. I like the Nexadyne for live performance.

I'm warming up to your podcast. I appreciate your delivery and the fact I can see you are trying to sound as good as you can. Most podcasters take little note of how they sound as a performer or personality. It's part of your brand and I think you realize it. Keep it up.

I have been using the same sm58 units for a decade. 2 or three times a week, occasionally more. I also bought - a decade ago - 2 EV mikes where the advert showed them being bounced off a wall, run over by cars etc - which is why I bought them, but I kept those as backups just in case the 58's failed. We never used them because the 58's never did fail. Every few years I would take an EV out of the bag to test it. Upshot is both EV's died in storage -never used at gigs and the 58's continue to this very day -and will be used again tonight ! We have had zero problems with the 58's over more than a decade. At nearly 3 times the price of a 58, I'm not seeing a huge amount of attraction in the Nexadyne....

[andrewgee]

Hi Aiden. I am enjoying listening to the enhanced sound clarity of Shure's Nexadyne dynamic microphone. Love to hear more history of microphones in your future videos. Cheers.

[EddieJarnowski]

The beta 58 suits my voice perfect. Ill try other ones forsure but they nailed it with the beta 58. Idk how it could be any better.

[freyafoxmusic]

The no handling noise is huge for live sound .

[TheChipMcDonald]

Sounds identical to the 58, but the rejection is great - maybe 3+ db better? Doesn't sound hyper cardiod, or like a 57. A stage full of them over 58s would likely be much cleaner and tight. No monitor weirdness as well.

[JoshColletta]

So basically, they're doing what Bob Heil did with phasing for off-axis noise rejection, they're just using a separate capsule to do it.

[privateer]

I got one for the lead singer of my band. It's really good. I think it'll be my main mic with 58s and Beta 58s used on certain voices. I also like the KSM 9 on a few voices.

[moizter]

crystal clear! listening to it without headphones

[ferospro]

To me they sound the same, almost, pretty close, but im curious about how they reacts with more spl....
