sE Electronics - V7 MC2

Hell yeah, V7 gang all the way for all the reasons you mentioned. Plus, it's cheaper than the 58 by ~£20!

Yeah that's the typical thinking with them. The 835 has a spike at 5k where the 935 has a more smooth and gradual lift in the high end which probably gives them the perception of being more "neutral" when really they're both very bright. I usually steer my friends away from the 835 and tell them to spend a bit more on the 945 or try the V7.

I own a 441 and a V7. They are remarkably similar. The 441’s hi shelf switch adds a touch of sweetness not found on the V7 but it’s not worth the extra $. What is worth the extra $ is the cool factor though! It has a certain visual weight and presence on stage that adds up. V7 needs less gain, both reject feeback similary. Either way the V7 is my fave cheap vocal mic for live. The 441 is my fave mic overall 

I dont buy anything else than Sennheiser v7 no more, the best mic simply imo The E series sound worse

99.9 % of the singers I work with are amateur; college a cappella. I've tried Senn 835 Senn 441, Earthworks SR 314, SE V7, and others that I can't bring to mind right now. The Shure SM58 is a "1 size fits all" microphone. It's also great with duos and trios. I'll use 2 AKG 414 mics for the back up singers, and I'll have 3 "solo" mics in front. Sometimes I'll have a really expensive mic in the center with SM58s on either side. During a show I might have 10 - 15 different singers on a solo mic. When someone winds up soloing on one of the 58s, my ears relax. I learned the hard way to stay away from super cardioid with amateur singers; the plosives will kill you!

I like the SE V7. The wired mic and capsule for wireless are pretty budget-friendly.

try super cardiod mics like the se v7 or even shure beta 58a. have your drummer tape his cymbals. turn guitars and bass down on stage. use in ear monitor. project your voice more but not like you are doing to hurt yourself etc

I do live sound and do my best to never use on. The SE v7 beats it completely in sound with less harsh highs, less boomy plosives, and significantly better at not feeding back.

I switched to an SE V7 and it helped
