Hi.

Got an SM58 already. Great  for many things, but can't do much with
percussion or really getting accoustic guitar sounds. Mind you, a friend
says he got the best string section sound of his life with a Tandy PZM (got
one) and 2 SM58s in the right places in a great-sounding room. Down to mic
positioning, I think!

THe thing with having a good condenser is especially with inexperienced
vocalists with an interesting tone who haven't got the level - you need one
to catch all the nuances.

Thanks, Yoonchi,
