Suggestions for cool looking live mic

Slogun 🎙️ · 17th October 2006

Hey fellow sluts,

I'm looking for a cool looking and good sounding mic for live performances sub US$550/€440, any suggestions? Something that will stand out from the rest of the 'average' looking mics

Thanks!

I wouldn't worry about the mic as much...the audience won't notice anyway. If you want "flash", then go for a custom mic stand. Remember the swivel stand that Julian Cope used a few years back? The one he'd climb on and lean over the crowd. That's cool. Or the chain look stand that W.A.S.P used. Gotta love Blackie....

later,

A custom made mic stand is allready on our agenda

Found this site, some of the mics are really cool looking, perhaps I can find something there?!

Shure 55-SH-II

Its probably not what you were thinking, but it does the trick for a few of my clients who want to get laid after the show, just for... "Looking so Cool"

heh

How about the Electro Voice/Blue Cardinal or Raven?

This is the Cardinal, a cardiod condenser:

The Raven is the same mic but black and dynamic.

They look pretty cool and I hear they sound pretty cool too.

I believe they map at $199 and $149 USD respectively.

Heil makes a dynamic mic that looks like an old RCA 44
