Local CL seller has a used EV 635a at an OK price. Wondering if anyone makes use of an omni dynamic for vocals, acoustic guitar, or guitar cabs. Worthwhile addition or not?
I've even used omni mics live. If a singer projects well and stays on the mic it works out, and there's not really proximity effect with omni mics so you don't have to do as much eq compensation for close use. But the 635a is meant to be an ENG mic so I don't know how it will sound for your uses.
I pick one up as it does do a nice precontoured tone shape option -low and a bit of high filtered naturally, close up or far- 'out of the box for dirt cheap. What's not to like
..one of the reasons you don't have to HPF every damn thing..? Sometimes... it won't need it
If you are singing into an omni mic there will be feedback issues when using monitors.
When used to mic amps or instruments there will be more bleed into the omni from other sound on the stage.
