=== Context ===
=== The Singer and the Stage ===
As a singer, I am looking for a microphone for a male lead vocalist with a darker tone. I can struggle to be heard in a busy mix. With the wrong microphone, my voice is inarticulate and muffled. I tend to prefer the faster response and articulation I get with a good condenser microphone, over most lower-end dynamic microphones. However, for a loud stage, I will sacrifice fine-grained detail for projection to be present and forward in the mix. I also need excellent off-axis rejection to minimize microphone bleed from other sound sources.
