Studio Projects B1 - Good or Bad?

revolt. · 04-09-2005, 12:36 AM

I'm on a tight budget and am considering buying the SP B1 in hopes of getting a cleaner and warmer sound. Does anybody know if this mic is good? Will there be a bigger difference in quality over my Shure SM58? I know that a mixer/amp is important but I am talking specifically about the mic. All comments are appreciated, peace.

The SP B1 is a workhorse mic, but not necc the vocal mic pick for $100

If your looking for a good vocal mic, and you want clarity get an AT2020, if you want some coloration, an MXL V67G is good.
Or if you can afford a little more, an ADK A-51 is the SURE way to go.
