I love mine ... BOTH of them ... To

Is that the one you got from me? I'll take it back for the same price you paid me.

LOL - no, Don. That's an ad!

PLUS - you and I have NO NEED for another damn mic! We must have 4-5 dozen between us!

Question.

The difference between an e935/e945 is just the polar pattern? Right?

I’ve been using the e935.. great mic

Although a good Mic
It's not the mic it's the singer.....
just sayin'

The polar pattern, yes, but another characteristic of a super-cardioid mic allows sound to enter from directly behind the mic. This may not be an issue with keyboard players, but if you have a monitor speaker directly in front of you - you are asking for feedback. The up side is that the 945 rejects more sound from the sides than the 835 (which I use, too)
I have way too many mics, but I like having different colors in my crayon box.

I'm down to no more than around a dozen. None helps much.

More than a dozen wireless, another dozen vocal mics, and 1/2 dozen studio mics ... including a vintage Neumann KM-56 that was used in NYC for Stevie Wonder, Sammy Davis, Dione Warwick and many others. They're like my children - hard to pick a favorite!

If you truly believe that's true, then try singing through a cheap, uni-directional mic with no effects, record it and post it here for comments, one way or another. The frequency response, polarity, diaphragm size, frequency range, feedback rejection, and much, much more really go a long way in enhancing the vocal qualities of any singer. If this were not the case, we would all be using $29 mics while on stage instead of spending $300 to $600 for our stage mics and thousands for studio mics.

Happy New Year,

Gary

Gary either you can sing or you can't..


stripped acapella tells all

Of course, but a good mic will help a GOOD singer SOUND good, while a cheap, inferior mic can make a good singer SOUND bad ...

Best values ever in vocal mic have to include Samson Q series. I have a Q7 and Q8 and a Q8x. I have had the Q7 for many years and use it for a guest mic. It has been abused and misused but still sounds great. The Q8 is now at home for use there.
Q8x is Supercardiod.
It is a little smoother than the Senn 945, but the frequency response is less on the high end. Doesn't matter as you can't hear over 16k anyway.
I alternate between the Q8x and the 945 and sometimes think I hear a cleaner sound with the Senn, but when I listen to the recordings, I can't tell them apart.
I bought the Q8x off Ebay for $79., shipped, no tax. You can find real bargains on the Q7 and Q7x. The "7s" have a little more handling noise.

wrong a good mic doesn't make a singer who can't sing sound better it just makes them THINK they sound better.
Your not foolin anyone..same thing with a keyboard..

Donny, please READ !!! ... "a good mic will help a GOOD singer SOUND good"

Ok Tony..... Happy new year

Old stalwart; a 585 or a $49.95 Carvin I got free with purchase of a $599.00 sound system 20 years ago. $100.00 mikes are fine for me. Don't really like to sing.

R.

Not so sure if even a cheap mic will make a good singer sound bad. I am certain if you had
let’s say Uncle Dave singing on a $29 mic and me singing on a $600, Uncle will still sound better than me.

There are other things to consider...handling noise, feedback rejection, durability, weight, sensitivity, proximity effect. That's why there is more than just one mic, and why some cost more than others.

Of course, Don ... Good points ...

Paul, I will not be a judge of your singing but I'll bet Dave sounds better on a $600 mic than he does on a $29 one ...

Shux - thanks!

Of course, as would we all

... you guyeezeeeee

I'm among the privileged individuals on the forum that had the opportunity to see and hear UD perform live at a couple locations. He is one Hell of a singer, utilized vocal control to its utmost, and while I'm confident he would sound good with a $29 mic, I know how wonderful he sounds using a high quality mic and PA system. You only get out of the system what you put in. Remember the old PC acronym, GIGO. It definitely applies to audio gear.

I'm honored, and humbled by all these kind word. Thanks you so much - and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
We had a blast last night ... I played clarinet, and banjo and sang my butt off for about 7.5 hours, including the 1 hr show I did at noon.
I'm wiped out now, but man, it was fun! I tried to do the math - I think this was my 45th NYE show .... wow - and I'm such a youngster.

I stayed home and was glad I did.

Dave ... That's a great job by you ... Reminds me of my (much) younger days when we would start a NYE gig at 9pm and finish around 3 or 4am ... and wherever we were, our sax player had to get home before sunrise otherwise he would not be able to sleep the rest of the day ...

I haven't worked that hard in YEARS, but it was so much fun. I think the added clarity of the mic helped my stamina. I wasn't even vocally fatigued at 1am.
Then again, I don't scream, and I always have good monitors on every job.

Maybe YOU can't, but I sure can. There's lots of subtitles that lie in that upper range to 20k, and I can definitely tell when they're missing.

SUBTITLES ?!? ... or SUBTLETIES ??? ...

hee, hee .... it's late. SUBTLETIES (however you spell it) I taught music, not ENGLISH! lol
