Query: Senn E835 - muddy, congested mic

There are 4 mics to consider in the $100 price category: Sennheiser e835, Shure SM58, Audix OM-2, and AKG D5. I've been doing sound for 10 years. Each has its own faults.Senn: lower midrange congestion -- like you have a cold, warm-sounding, rolled-off highs. Very muddy sounding, but will add more "body" to your sound.Shure: cold-sounding mic, highs better than Senns, some mid-range muddiness.AKG: overall nice sounding mic. Problem when you "push" the mic, i.e. sing loud. Mic feels like it has a delay in it.Audix: very nice sounding mic. No major sonic problems. Nice, extended highs. It's the shadow of the awesome OM-5 ($250+) which is faster and has even better clarity.My advice: go with the Audix OM-2, or spend $200+ for an Audix OM-5 or Senn 935. Both high-end mics sound very similar.
