Excited about tonight’s rehearsal a little more than usual. We’ve replaced our Beta 58s, Beta 87, and E865s with Opus 89s from Beyerdynamic. In my view, they have the predictability of a dynamic mic with all the charm of a condenser mic. (It’s a dynamic.) Bright and warm without the rip-your-face-off metal of a Sennheiser or the sharp edge of a Beta 58 – or the buckle-under-loud-vowels of our wireless KSM9s. Oh… those KSM9s are staying but tonight? 89s all around!
A couple wired KSM9s will round out the vocal mic selection in a couple of months.

You can’t just leave it there! What happened? How did it go with opus 89’s all around? Thats like telling a fairy tale to a child who’s hanging on every word, then saying, “they lived…….it’s not important!” but how did they live? AH, its not important! Please write something or thats just cruel (lol) ;-)
haha! The Beyers have sounded great for the most part but it really depends on the person. On the wrong voice they can lean a little harsh. Pedro has my old job now and I see him leaning toward the KSM9s (which I prefer too even wireless) except when someone who sounds great on them is up or, honestly, when changing batteries feels like a drag. I still LOVE these 89s, don’t get me wrong, but I’m looking forward to some wired KSM9s.
