JPF Home Page Forums Musician Gear and Techniques Microphone and Vocalist Forum Good Microphone Package Deal????

Well Jim, they are relatively decent mics that do a good job in certain circumstances and are worth having in a mic locker.
One better quality mic will not always be the best choice for every use so it's often better to have a selection of microphones from which to choose. As you know, different mics work and sound differently with voices and what may work well with one particular voice will sound like crap used on another. The same holds true for acoustic guitars, amp, choruses, drums, horns, the list goes on and on.

There was also no mention of "working bands". The vast majority of them use dynamics anyway unless they are in studio but, you know that.

As to your statement about a SM58 and a half decent studio condenser mic; around here a real SM58 is going to cost close to US $100.00 and a half decent condenser nearer US $200.00 so you would have 2 mics instead of 4. Of course "half decent" condenser studio mic could be closer to US $1000.00, or more, depending on one's interpretation of "half decent".

For those with a limited budget that Sweetwater deal not a bad way to go. That package represents a 10% savings over piecing out the individual mics with that same case, you don't have to go through the trouble of cutting out the foam to fit the mics and accessories and you'll have a variety of microphones for a variety of needs/uses.
