Appreciate your experience and input!

My buddy at sweetwater asked me why I wasn’t considering the shure 87a? He says they are basically the same. Anyone like that mic?

This guy does a great review of dynamic mics

The e935 does well. But I like the Senn MD445 and the Shure ksm8 better. I have a e935 I like. I ordered a Shure ksm8 now.

Dang! After reading this thread, I just happened across an E935 on Reverb for half the regular new price, and will have to give it a try.
