Mic's

Mine are almost all Sure.
SM58's, Beta 58's. A few 57's & beta 57's. A couple of SM-48's for thrashers.
Both my wireless's are SM-58 Heads. Tryed EV N-Dyms & nobody liked those. I have a couple Samson 3 for a buck for kiddie stuff.

Audio Technica ATW-3141 wireless handheld times two, Sennheiser wireless lavalier EW112G2 times two, Sennheiser E835 wired handheld times three. Very happy with all of them.

I use Heil, Carvin, and Sennheiser

 

[DJ J Mac]

We've got a shure wireless, an old gemini wireless and 2 shure wired

Let me stop you before you ask what brand of cabling do I use...

 

[DJSAZON1]

I use Senheiser

 

[Scott Hanna]

Mostly Sennheiser. 3 ew100's g2's. Love them. Work excellent.

I do have an audio technica lav

 

[SoftJock Rick]

Nady on both -- my voice sucks to begin with, I don't want anybody to hear it better...


Pear cable BTW, before he asks

 

[Jeff Romard]

AT and Sure both corded. At times that I need a wireless I rent one always a Sure

 

[Scott Harris]

Shure wireless for most uses. Cheap Behringer xm8500's wired that I bought for "rough service" duty that sound surprisingly good - handling noise is terrible, but sound is pretty good and well worth $20!

Cables

Let me stop you before you ask what brand of cabling do I use...

Mogami star Quad works great for me. too bad all of my mic cables aren't.

 

[Kirby Ball]

Shure wireless & Shure wired.....Will probably move over to a wireless EV system in the future.

 

[DJ T-BONE]

i use a EV RE-2 wireless and a shure sm58 wired

 

[Bill Kexel]

All Shure

 

[jokerswild]

My two main mics are EV-RE2 with headset and lav mic, and my Shure PGX wireless with SM58 mic. I also have as back ups and for karaoke use a couple of Audio-tech freeway 200's... which for cheapies they aren't so bad.... heck one survived me dropping an amp rack on it that weighed close to 70lbs right on the head and despite the damage to the screen it still works just fine.

I was once told that the EV RE-2 was very comparable to the Shure SM 58 Wireless but less expensive, is that true? Does it have that natural clarity to it?

let me help you with that. Sell a few of the 50 mics you have and buy the one you want.
