Again a proper and funny video! I use one old dynamic Sennheiser, or better have and not use it. Anyway, when my main vocal mic, a quite old c414 broke and I had to send it in for repair, I went to the store and bought a Fame CM2 condenser for 33€ to record some ideas in the meantime.
I think it's a rebranded Alctron mic and like many cheap chinese mics it's a little harsh in the highs and not as nice when used with proximity effect and it has lower gain, but for 33€ it did a great job during those 2 weeks and most issues were fixable with some eq-ing.
It has a metal body and the clip had a brass inlay, if I remember correctly.

Excellent. Useful and amusing. Good stuff. Looking to try out some snare miking so you've just saved me £80.

The MS58 is probably the best karaoke microphone you can buy. Ive had the original Mk1 MS58 from Music Store in Cologne for my Karaoke business for nearly 16 years, they are a little battered but still work great.

Very, very nice channel. Thank you :)

[amazeus]

Sm57 any good for vocals? Rap vocals and singing? From what I know Madonna used that one for singing...is it true?

[danielsalinas]

Do they have transformers? Would be worth the buy if the 57 didn’t, sounds clear

[uburtube]

and you're not Shure....Ba Ha Ha!!! Thanks guys!

[lahattec]

Guys, it would have been easier to make out the differences with more than one hit each. Like, hit the drum two to four times before switching the mic.

Thanks!
