heil sound the fin dynamic microphone vs shure super 55

[ptleftybass]

Has anyone done an a/b comparison of these two microphones? I am thinking of purchasing a new mic with vintage styling and I'm looking for some feed back. I currently use Sennheiser mics which I love, I have 835's, 838's,945's, ew100 wireless just looking for something a little different. Thanks for your expertise!

In my acoustic trio, we all use Shure Super 55s, which have a capsule derived from the Beta 58. We love them. Clear, without any noticeable bumps in the frequency spectrum. I don't know anything about Heil's vintage-style mics, but if they sound anything like their PR22 hand-held, I'd run away fast.

The singer in my last band has a Super 55 (I ran sound). I really liked the 55 compared to an SM58. I have a Sennheiser e838 and would say they sound similar (it's been a while since I've heard them together though).

Don't know about the Heil...
