My monitors feedback easy. I really need to swap them for some new ones. Frankly, it's just easier to slap a 57 where ya want it to go and the audience wouldn't really notice the difference in sound quality... Unless it was an audience of engineers If nobody notices the difference, then why dont they just use 57's on Paco's tour? I think you mean well, but .... i disagree. They use it simply because they can. If someone compares a 57 to a neumann one after the other (A/B test), the difference will be noticeable, even to the common listener. I'm unable to use a condenser on MY stage because I'm using low budget gear. I'm finding myself cutting out too many frequencies before I get sufficient gain. Paco de Lucia probably uses top of the line monitors, main speakers, feedback suppression/eq's, compressors, preamps, so the sound guy is able to get good use out of condensers. Now, I probably should have said "If you can, use a condenser, otherwise go with a 57." We don't know the gear turnermoran is using. So I'll restate. To turnermoran - If you are able to use a condenser, by all means, DO IT! If you have too much feedback, a 57 is the way to go. Sorry for the long time to reply ToddK [:)] ! I was in the middle of a move and I just got some internet! [:D]
