Norah Jones, Jamie Cullum, just about everyone I have seen on TV recently...

If I wasn't playing close to the beach, I'd get one in a flash! (Corrosion)

The best 'air' I have ever heard on a handheld....

Diki, come on!!!
Your $2,500 G70 can take it...why not a $500 mic...???

I've only heard great things also......
I will be trying one soon for sure....

Hi Donny,

I've had one for about 3 years and I love it. I've used an SM58 for close to 40 years and I can sound good on one, but the Neumann takes it to another level. It brings out all the nuances, ect. I wouldn't part with mine. And I've seen Johnny Mathis and Tony Bennett use one in person. Those are pretty good endorsements.

Ciao,

Joe

My $3500 G70 takes it because it has to... (got mine when they first came out, Fran).

Outside, all that extra 'air' gets lost in wind noise, anyway. But my EV N/D767a does pretty well, under the circumstances.

Joe, Diki, As singer I prefer the EV ND767a also for my needs now also its a Great Mic! vs the Sm58, Senn855 Ive previously gigged with thru the years....
But Im always inquisitive on auditioning others.....thanx for the reply.

$500? where? I'm seeing km104 online for $649

Miami Mo

Mo and Diki, I usually quote prices that I can get the items..

As a previous MI[musical instrument] dealer I still can purchase at dealer cost most of the time..

The G70 and KMS104 prices I mentioned are obtainable..if you shop around or make a deal..

Fran, the G70 price was what was pretty much the going rate (list was $4500) when the G70 was launched. At the time, it was marketed exclusively through Roland's CK division, with their regional exclusivity and high markups. This even was George Kaye's street price at the time...

Since then, the G70 (but NOT the E-series) has been transfered to the MI division, with it's much steeper price discounts and bottom-line dealers. Which is where the price cuts you see today come from.

Coming late to the party sometimes has it's benefits...
