That sounds damn painful. My eyes are watering !Hey guys! Just received my AKG D-5 in the male today!
ahahahahhahahahthat sounds damn painful. My eyes are watering !
Would the sm 58 pick up less ambient noise compared to the d-5?because sometimes spelling makes all the difference.
the only reason i can think of that may make the D5 pick up more ambient sound is that the polar patter on the snowball may be tighter. looking at the specs for both (Snowball specs and D5 specs) the area directly behind the D5 seems to pick up more and seems slightly lop sided (or the AKG one may just be more accurate than the snowball).
it may be worth just trying the D5 on a stand further back from the computer and see how that goes

um.... honestly, i don't know. on paper, maybe. I'd say experiment with the D5 in different places in the room first. if the computer fan noise is still a huge issue then try the SM58. i'd say try and find someone who you can borrow one off first just to check it before buying
id agree but the only problem is im doing gaming commentaries so i have to be right in front
there probably going to be an argument after this but here goes
if you have to have the mic so close to the computer then try an isolation filter to eliminate some of the ambiant noise. It just might suit your needs.
Not the best solution imo.

The SM58 is slightly less sensitive than the D5 and perhaps slightly more directional--but there's not a lot in it.
Before spending even more money, move the mic a bit farther from the noise source and be careful with the aiming--that'll probably make more difference than changing to an SM58.
