RoadRanger:
Most wireless mics have a bit of soft limiting going on - which is what I do with the DL1608. On vocals I'm presently using:
Soft Knee
-14.0 dB
4.0:1
5.0 ms
160 ms
0 dB

I set the trim so I get a bit of gain reduction only when you "hit" the mic hard. If you want a bit more change the threshold to -17.0 dB (which I've tried and might switch back to) or even lower.

Trshot:

LeeSteel:
Most singers don't understand to treat the microphone as an instrument. I prefer the 57 over the 58 for vocals because it is not picking up all of the other noise around the stage. If a vocalist knows what they are doing, this mic is nothing less than a stick of dynamite. A 58 is great for inexperienced vocalists because it will capture the singing from a broader axis.

Yes, somewhat similar to an OM7 you have to be right on it. Have you tried the Beta 57?
