Which is the best mic under $100 for papal announcements?

[Armistice]

And are they best done with the mic on a stand? Or via a shaky old dude holding a gooseneck extension and possibly shattering the teeth of the new pontiff?

Discuss....

SM 57. But you'll need two of them.

Nah. That's for presidents.

 

[moresound]

Yeah but the pope still smokes dope every day.

SM-57 .... uh that's SM-1557....

Poops use either a discontinued AKG D190 or a Shure SM58. Either way it has to be on a gooseneck (that's straight showing they didn't need a gooseneck) and held by the shaky old dude in a red and white dress.

I particularly liked the way the new Poop's first words on the balcony used an SM58 as a side address microphone, thus ensuring optimum clarity and GBF!

 

[dervish riff]

I saw the old pope using an AKG D1000--I've got one of those.

remember, it's the source and room, not the mic.

The red and white dress really helps with room dampening!

He's pretty fat - looks like he's fed well for an old guy. He looks kinda happy for a newly elected Pope. Must be that "incense" they burn in the church.

Pope Rolly Polly.
