highwayone Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Somehow landed myself on lead vocals in a band and was looking into getting a wireless set up as most gigs are in pokey pubs and cables are getting trodden on and tangled up and is a ball ache in general. Anyone on here got one or had one that they recommend? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I would recommend on concentrating find a mic that suits you and if you really have the need then get a wireless for it afterwards. If it's already wireless, that's just a treat. IMHO finding a mic that suits you should come first. How much are you looking at spending?

highwayone Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 I've currently got a Shure SM58 wired as I play bass and do backing vocals in a covers band but the other band I'm in are singerless and I've 'inherited' the frontman post which requires a bit of moving around! Prepared to pay upto around £200 I guess which will prob get something secondhand, haven't a clue what a half decent one costs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Mariner Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 We use wireless mics at the church, with a mix of SM58s and Sure's cheaper *58 version. The cheaper version have a roll off of high end, are much less susceptible to feedback and are generally flattering to voices (I did sound for a guest singer, and she said that she'd never sounded so good and wanted to know what I'd done).
