== Conclusions ==

~~I think that any~~ of ~~the~~ remaining microphones ~~would be good performers, at least as good as~~ the ~~Shure Beta 58a~~.

Any of these remaining microphones will perform well with the {{L1 nl}}. Use the matching ToneMatch Preset and close microphone technique (lips brushing the windscreen).

# Shure Beta 58a

For high-volume applications where gain before feedback is the priority, the Sennheiser MD 445 comes first. Sennheiser released this microphone in late 2020. It has an extremely tight supercardioid polar pattern. The [[Gain Before Feedback|gain before feedback]] sets it ahead of everything else on the list. It has a lift in the upper midrange and details in the highs that comes close to sounding like a good condenser microphone.

The Audix OM5 sounds good, has a tight hypercardioid polar pattern, and there is a ToneMatch Preset for it.
