Choosing a mic for jamkazam - Val - 06-22-2020
I sing with a couple of friends and they're constantly telling me to be louder. We've adjusted all kinds of settings but the problem remains. I have a SHURE SM58, (currently on a desktop stand) and find I have to almost eat the mic to get a satisfactory volume. This gets in the way of my guitar, which already bangs on my computer desk.
Can anyone recommend a mic that I can use at a greater distance? I'm willing the spend the money within reason.

You need to make sure that Mic is plugged into a high impedance/pre-amped input to give it some juice. This is typically Channel 1/2 of the Audio Interface with the XLR, or, if you have mixer, the first couple of channels. You will need to give it gain. It's a very quiet Mic, wonderful too. I have one.
