[HANASHIR:11930] Re: Yom Kippur & microphones

[Andy Curry <acurry...>]

Lori, you may have the Kol Nidre ritual confused with the "Hin'ni", which 
has the chazan entering the sanctuary from the back, praying as he walks to 
the bima that G-d accept his prayers on behalf of the kahal.  I have never 
heard of Kol Nidre taking place anywhere but on the bima.

With regard to microphones - Shure SM58 and AKG C1000S:  The SM58 is 
considered the standard of the industry for live vocals.  There are better 
microphones for more $$$, but it's questionable that the quality difference 
is worth the money difference in live situations.

The AKG C1000S shines in situations where you need to pick up the sound 
from a greater distance - it's an electret condensor, with greater 
sensitivity, needing phantom power or a 9V battery.  It's not a great 
choice for vocalists who like to crowd the mic, as it will distort under 
that condition.  A well-positioned C1000 will adequately pick up your 
guitar and your voice, perhaps eliminating the need to use your guitar's 
pickup.

Kol tuv,
Andy
