I would guess a lot of that is omni vs. cardioid. How does that effect monitoring (the main reason for directionality on stage)? I can't see us getting in ear monitoring any time soon. I think new mics are something that has a chance.... I may be allowed to replace the worst of the lot anyway (a Dixon.... worse than most karaoke mics... certainly worse than the sm58). I have had trouble with battery or phantom power for stage work with loud pops every time the singer moves so dynamic is what I want even if it sounds less than studio worthy. -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
