Shure SM59, AKG D190E comparison


This time the AKG used is the usual one with no low cut filter.


Both mics sound great.


Both have bass, mid bass heaviness if an (R,L) filter is not connected.


The AKG is much louder, (gives greater voltage for same presure). Sony Rec Level must be at 6/10 instead of at 10/10.


The SM59 may be even more flat as there is even less tendency for feedback.


With the Pleiades (130Ω,40mH) gentle slope low cut they both sound crystal clear.


The SM59 sounds subtly more extended in very high frequency witnessed by miking a small clockwork baby's toy music box.


The AKG has more punch and mid presence.
