So, my team and I were invited to lead worship at a really big church... 3,000 plus filled the auditorium.... and I was quite nervous, at my church I utilise the Shure Beta 87A, but this time the sound engineer told to try this mic, I did not really notice a big difference besides the fact that my voice sounded deeper, but when I heard the recording playback I was amazed, I truly was! this mic made my voice sound not only deeper but also full rich and definetely stronger. At the end of the service people were greeting me saying that my voice was strong, full and confident. I still like the Beta 87A, but I most certainly want to buy this mic and to add it to my collection to have more options, I think it's a little expensive but certainly worth it, so if you can justify the price of this product for it's quality I recommend you get it, but first test it in a live scenario or music store, to ensure you don't make a mistake, always a great idea when purchasing a new product!!! Well, God bless you all!!!!! JESUS ROCKS!!!!

There is a reason why the live audio industry looks up to neumann. The kms105 is a microphone that will make the best vocalist sound better than they have ever sounded before. But of course your sound is only as good as your weakest link. You will not notice a difference between the Km105 and the Sure sm58 if you have a crappy system. If you are running a low end systym like bose, just stick with the SM58, you will do your wallet a favor. But if you are running a Nexo other high end sound system your collection will not be complete with out this mic.

I have owned this mic for seven years. I also own Audio Technica (atm 41, better than a 58) Sennheiser, and Shure. This microphone, for vacals is as close as you will get to a great condenser in the studio. But be warned, if you are off pitch, everyone will hear it, very nakedly. If you are a good vocalist, it will make you sound great.

I've seen Dave Mathews and Jewel both using this mic on HD music programs, so I figured I'd try it since I only wanted the best. It delivers and then some. Perfect for a solo singer/songwriter like me. Some plosives so you might want to use a pop screen for studio work, best live performance mic I have ever used. This is a superior quality product that gives me confidence during my performances.

I have worked with a wedding band that does anything from James Brown to Rocky Top. I have a male vocalist that has one of these mics for himself. I love using it because of how warm and full his voice is. The other singers have Sennhiser e803s (better than an SM 58) to sing through. I wish Neumann would do two things: A bass roll-off switch around 80hz and lower the price just a bit. Amazing mic and wish I had this mic in my personal collection.
