adding a Power Amp

[Ben Clarke]

Another way to attack that (which I haven't done yet) is to get one of those Fishman Blenders. It's got a mic pre and DI built in to one box. The engineer gets his one line, and you get the best of both worlds. I insist on using both mic and DI.


What mic are you using? I usually use the Audix D4, and prefer the Countryman Type 85 DI, though I don't own one yet.

What is wrong with an SM 57 for the bass?

i recently got the shure pg52-xlr dynamic with xlr cable...

sounds beefy.


its basically a kick drum mic, that can be used for both.

i want to try the new svt di, and also if i ever use my sans amp again, i'll use that.

i think its a vocal mic.

My experience is it works really well for an instrument mic. I am willing to listen to other's thoughts on the subject.

Guess we have further hijacked the thread here too.

There's really no response below about 55Hz, and a mean presence peak. Also, odds are if that's what the guy wants to put on your bass amp, chances are he'll have a 58 on vocals (not that there's anything wrong with that), and that presence peak from the bass amp will compete with the identical presence peak of the vocal mic.

What mic would u suggest instead of a SM 57 for a bass rig?

I'll go to the other thread I just started with this.

That makes sense.
