[QUOTE="Oregon, post: 142183, member: 3141"] With mic preamps as well as condenser mics whether it has a transformer makes a big difference. (don't know if dynamic or ribbons do.) I bought a Blue Mouse microphone with transformer as it brings out a great vocal mid range. But I don't always want the added coloration, so I have other options (used to work MI and took advantage of the discount.) The preamps really have an impact as well - and there are lots of options (the Golden Age is a great value.) Some focus on delivering cleanly what's being heard (like Grace) while others add various coloration based on the transformer type and design (Jensen etc.) Some tones for me were best served with SM57's and the Sm58 has a slight but noticeable upper frequency - 57 tops out around 15k and the 58 at 16k. While it's mainly a vocal mic vs. instrument it's quite good for a little more clean/lighter distortion snap. To get the most of a mic trying different placement can give tremendous versatility to your sound (just remember or place some tape where you like it.) Be careful here, it's another massive area for G.A.S... :) I sure enjoy Mike P's snippets. Here in particular the Angel and Fisch. [/QUOTE]
