Shure Nexadyne 8/C

Had not heard about the Shure Nexadyne microphone when I first saw the advert, I was intrigued, can you really improve on the long trusted and established Sm58 model? I had a couple of vouchers for Thomann gifted to me last Christmas so I thought I’d take a chance on it. Well I wasn’t disappointed!!! The Nexadyne has a slick black design, comes with a padded case and microphone stand fitting. It sounds great right out of the box with little or no eq’ing. The first night I used it I was very impressed but wasnt “Shure” (ba dum tisch) being so used to the Sm58a tonal qualities that I use regularly. The nexadyne has a brighter mid/high range sound and it doesn’t have as sensitive a proximity effect which I found off putting at first because I like the use the bass/boom with proximity effect while singing certain parts of songs but once I dialled in eq settings that suited my voice the Nexadyne just shone. It’s hard to describe, it just seems more like something you’d here at a big concert or on tv or in the studio, it cuts through but smoothly, leaving the vocal well placed and as a singer so much easier to hear yourself and then control your voice. I still love my Sm58 & 58a’s but the nexadyne is a fabulous mic and could well prove a contender against the Sm58’s… I definitely think so… Time will tell I suppose

Wer auf der Suche nach einem neutraleren live-Mic ist, wird hier fündig. Definitiv weniger mittig wie die SM58 oder Beta58, dafür aber leicht bassig. Plosivlaute sind im Rahmen und insgesamt klingt das Mic sehr modern und offen, was es gut für Duos oder größere Live-Produktionen im Popbereich machen sollte. Ich denke für die Garagen-Rock-Band ist es jedoch zu schmeichelnd, um einen Sänger im Mix durchzusetzen. Ich behalte es :)

nouveau micro : nouveau look ! j'adore le côté plus "sobre" mais plus "pro" du micro en satiné noir ! agréable au regard, met de suite en confiance ! look pro , agréable au toucher, grille micro Avant-Gardiste , poids ni léger ni lourd; juste la sensation d'avoir en main un bon "vrai" micro haut de gamme ! la capsule interne est très protégé par de la mousse dense de qualité ! là encore ça sent le haut de gamme ! et Maintenant le son ! clarté de l'ensemble, bas médiums présents et confortables, chaleur et profondeur, les aigus sont brillants sans irriter pour autant, sans saturation, l'ensemble est très bien équilibré ! le dynamisme est bien là et l'attaque est directe !!! livré dans un boitier mousse plastifié tissus qui inspire confiance et protection, un écrin de qualité pour ce micro ! En conclusion le futur et déjà "présent" "Standard" des micros chant "live" professionnels ! aucun regret de mon achat ! (mon ancien micro béta 58 va prendre sa retraite" !!!) profitez, régalez-vous ! ce micro est un très bon investissement pour magnifier votre voix !

Imagine uma espécie de Shure SM58 com:
- Médios e agudos um pouco mais à frente, para compensar o médio-grave mais quente.
- Mais estabilidade do timbre mesmo quando o cantor movimenta um pouco fora da “boca” do microfone.
- Mais leve.
- Mais ergonômico.
- Mais discreto
- Menos ruído ainda.

Pra mim ele é a escolha para usar em palcos e gravar dobras vocais (por ter maior definição). No estúdio o SM7dB segue entregando o timbre mais agradável de todos, apesar de ser o mais ruidoso, mas o 8/C realmente foi um acerto estratégico da Shure. Eu acredito que o SM58 continuará sendo um padrão nos palcos por causa do custo-benefício, mas em uma comparação lado a lado desconsiderando o preço, acho difícil o SM58 ser a escolha de alguém.

Caso interesse, eu fiz um review sobre ele (também comparando com o SM58): https://youtu.be/9bThOn1d0pE?si=k5ObOEiQa3qFpohz
