Don to get the "SSSS" out with Senn and EV, I had to set one of the EQ's way down. Then it set the sound different for the keyboard.

Mackie has a diagram of how to set the EQ for (I don't know what I'm saying here but it is in the manual) warmth, presence etc. This setting works with the SM58, but it gets feed-back bad with the EV. I had to change one of the EQ sliders.

All I'm saying is, for a green horn PA guy like me, the SM58 is gonna be hard to beat. I put everything flat the keyboard sounds good and I like the sound of my voice through the SM58 especially when you eliminate the "SSSS" sounds.

The most amazing thing about this post is there were comments about no dealer letting you try and return a mic because of laws and germs etc. Here I've had 3 Mic's to try and I can return 2 of them, and I didn't get one request for the dealers name. Now that I've made this statement I won't tell because I don't want negative comments against the dealer.

I'm headed to Denver Thursday morning. I'll be there until Monday. I'll miss the forum.
