Revisiting Shure SM59


This microphone sounds amazing.


For close distance it was tried with a Pleiades (130Ω,40mH) gentle slope low cut. It sounds flat frequency response from producer's brain to listener's brain.


For larger distance it was tried on its own but acoustics sound boomy. It may sound amazing outdoors or with better LF absorbing (elastomer membrane panels?) acoustics.


This microphone sounds almost like a ribbon.


It is low output and perhaps this is exactly why it sounds amazing. It has a small light diaphragm. Possibly a lightweight coil. Like those brilliant MC low output phonograph cartridges.


No s problem while having amazing transient detail.


Possibly one of the best microphones ever made so far on this planet,
