As most people here haven't worked with the PG58 and so assume "standard" Shure quality with these: They get sold under 50€ for a box of three PG58 including cables. Now think how much quality you can expect from that... If you had a SM58 or even a beta58, I wouldn't worry (although these are more live mics), but the PG58 is just cheap crap. Use the mics of the Zoom. Block its omni direction with some shielding around it, create an el-cheapo pop-filter with the singers nylons (assuming its a she). Maybe that helps... Arnold
