What do yous guys use for mics? I have four EV N/D767A's and three EV PL80A's for vocals. I also have eight EV PL series tom/instrument mics and two of their kick mics. I also have a seven piece Nady dum mic set I had before getting the EV mics with four tom/snare mics, a kick mic, and two small diaphragm condenser mics - plus another three piece set that I usually use on the amps - the kick mic on the bass cab if mic'd and the two tom mics on the guitar cabs. Oh, and four Nady SP1 mics w/switches I basically got for free with some mic stand packages - I use them for talkback and announcements. Plus one rarely used SM58 x(.
For wireless I have a Line 6 XD-V70 mic, plus a Nady VHF mic w/dual diversity receiver, and a couple Gemini mics I've never used. I also have a couple Nady guitar transmitters and four Galaxy AS900 IEM systems. Unfortunately all my Nady wireless is on the same channel so I can only use one at a time :facepalm: .

The infamous loaded question. My environment is stage and studio, yours I gather is Bar and Nightclub gigs. I have over 80 mics (don't ask!). I would venture that your better off with dynamics all around. My wife is the ear in the family and it aggravates me when she picks a Joe Meek $30 SD over my Neumann KMS 105's on A/B tests. The moral of the story is that it's a opinionated personal choice. I always wanted to try a EV767a but I'll resist. On dynamics my go to's are OM2, AKG 880 (old version), and my new acquisition Bob Heil's Pr35. Wireless it's Sennheiser 835's and GTD 787. Sure I have Shure's.

I've become a big fan of Heil mics lately, I have a PR40 at my desk now for Skyping with customers and doing lesson videos at my day job.
My live collection:
4 Heil PR22's
1 Heil PR20
1 Heil PR35
1 Blue Encore 100
1 Blue Encore 300
2 Beyer M88's
1 Telefunken M80
2 Sure SM57's
2 Sennheiser e609, 1e906, 3 e604
1 AKG D112
2 AKG C1000
2 Audio Technica 4041
I also have that el-cheapo CAD "Pro-7" drum mic set that is surprisingly useful in a pinch, only used it once so far.

That was a "Stupid Deal of the Day" at Musician's Friend a couple days ago for $100. I bought my two 5 piece sets of EV PL series drum mics for $100 each on a "Stupid Deal of the Day" last year and the three PL80a's for $150 from them on a "buy one get two free" deal 8) . Two of my N/D 767a's were new but the other two I bought slightly used for $50 each from a local that switched to all OM5's .
