Icey, if the MC is going to use it out at raves/parties/etc. the Shure is a very roadworthy mic. It can take some abuse and still work well. It's the number one choice of gear-4-fire stores because they are robust and sound good (relatively) and are affordable. The neumanns on the other hand...you take out insurance on them.

lady_*ice Registered Join Date: Jun 2001 Posts: 7,497	ok, so u reckon if I got a Shure I could get it engraved... and do I go to a jewellers or what?!!

08-05-2002, 12:58 PM	#15
Sen Da Elda Moderata Join Date: Jun 2001 Posts: 4,513	yeah, you could probably get them to engrave either a plate and attach that, or the ring around the spit screen. the actual body of the mic may be engravable as well...who knows? Take it in to a jeweler's/ keycutters/engravers/trophymakers and see what they say! Best of luck!

DJ Fat Zed Analogue Join Date: Feb 2002 Posts: 543	I wouldn't engrave on the metal, it'll flake away next to the engraving, scratches have a habit of growing on 58/57s. Do it on a plate then use a very strong adhesive to stick it on. Screwing might get into the electronics.

Sen Da Elda Moderata Join Date: Jun 2001 Posts: 4,513	that's true Zed...I have few 57s/58s that have turned near silver because the finish is flakey.

lady_*ice Registered Join Date: Jun 2001 Posts: 7,497	oh but it will just fall off wont it?

Sen Da Elda Moderata Join Date: Jun 2001 Posts: 4,513	no, that's after years of abuse - live recording, gigging, loans to friends who aren't as careful...you know the deal You can get your friend a nice case too...that'll keep it safe and sound. You can probably adhere a plate to the mic with some adhesive type thing. I'm thinking that a trophy shop may actually be the right place for this kind of thing...
