In this microphone buying guide we taking a look at 5 of the best vocal microphones for singers that you can pick up for between £50 to £150.
All of the mics in this video are dynamic microphones, which means that they’re tougher and more durable than studio condenser microphones, plus they’re less prone to feedback on stage and they can handle higher sound pressure levels without distorting, so they’ll handle even the loudest of singers. Unlike condenser microphones, these don’t require phantom power, so they’ll work easily with any system, and they’re all designed to be either handheld or to fit into a standard microphone clip, which they all come supplied with. So all this means that they’re ideal for both lead and backing singers, and because dynamic mics are kind of a jack-of-all trade microphones, they can be pretty multi-purpose so could also be used for miking up other sound sources such as snare drums or guitar amps at a gig.
So if you’re looking for an affordable, but pro quality microphone for a singer, starting at around £50 we've got 5 great options from the likes of Shure, SE Electronics, Sennheiser and Lewitt-Audio, so take quick look and listen here with PMTVUK and pick one up at your nearest Professional Music Technology store.

Great presentation. Your demos are always so detailed and real world. The mics all sound great with subtle differences to my ear at least. If I had to pick any, the Beta 58 and E835 seemed the nicest sounding in this comparison.

@daprincehwc Жыл бұрын

Good job brother, all the mics sound good but when it come to how the mic handled vocal spread Ill go with the lewitt, you'll need headphone to see how quickly the vocal stops spreading which its can be a good thing for house of worship performance or in a small room, all other mics here have almost the same top end but lewitt have more control of it.

As a vocalist since I age 6. I didn't hear much of a difference. But the real test would be for each person to try them out. In a real band. The technology has finally caught up with the rest of the instruments and PA. It will be interesting how it all plays out.

The se v7 does anyone know if it would still be decent for studio vocals? I know it’s better to record vocals with a condenser mic but I do not have a treated room

@VeraTsapurina Жыл бұрын

Well, definitely you can use it for the recordings as well. I have both Sennheiser e835(which works better at lives as for me) and seElectronics V7( and also I have my condenser Rode Nt1-A) so I must say that V7 is realy great, I did a few covers, I guess it`s perfect for not very loud songs. I also asked my friends who produce music and all of them approved that the quality is enough for my purposes.

@JoeStuffzAlt 11 ай бұрын

It more than likely is. Some studio vocals from legendary performances are done on an SM58. Dynamic/live mics definitely help with room noise

@@VeraTsapurinaso if it’s good for not very loud singers would you say the proximity effect is fair ?

@matthaberek 11 ай бұрын

⁠@@JoeStuffzAltyes I’ve seen ALOT of people say the v7 gives shure a run for their money but I besides being good enough for studio vocals I wonder how the proximity effect is. My favorite singer is diverse often being very close to the mic quiet vocals and then pulls away some for loud belting chorus etc .however they had ALOT of analog gear back then and the vocals sound rather thin in my opinion. Yet I’ve heard other albums where it sounds much thicker beefier tone but this was probably due to digital eq compression multi effects from a more modern computer. I’ve also had interest in the telefunken m80 which I hear is amazing for up close singers but double the price. V7 is 100$ m80 is 199$ however telefunken m80 says of the get go that they claim their mic is suitable for BOTH the stage and studio. So I guess I’m saying I want a mic that can do double duty. I understand this will come with limitations but can only afford time being to purchase ONE new mic

@stuffnuns 2 жыл бұрын

I really like the warm sound I get from my Beta58a, but it’s lacking my needs for side rejection. i play electric harp, and the Shure picks up my playing pretty loudly, unless I literally turn my back on it. I tend to sing half again as close as your singer, so a minimum of proximity effect is important. That said, I’m surprised you didn’t include the Audix OM5, with boasts the best feedback and side noise rejection of any other mic in its class. I was skeptical, until i found out Bonnie Raitt has used the OM5 on her tours for almost 2 decades. include it on your next mic review, eh?

So that I can record and mix later. My room is not sound proof. My total budget is $300. But a shopkeeper told me that you cannot do recording with dynamic mic. Please tell me what should I do.
