A wonderful, bright, vocal microphone

I really love this microphone. I am amazed at how naturally this mic reproduces vocal sound with flat EQ out of the box. While it does not have as wide of a pattern as a Shure Beta 87 or even a Blue ... read more [+] Encore 200, vocalists with well rounded voices and good mic technique will love how bright and clear it is.

Amazing Mic For Strings!

I purchased this mic a few days ago to use for vocals. Yesterday I did audio engineering for a big Fiddle Contest. I had my Sure B4.1 set up for the fiddle mic, which I had always used in the past. I ... read more [+]t was giving me an uncontrollable low frequency feedback so I had no choice but to switch it out. I figured I\'d give the Encore 100 a shot so I set it up as the fiddle mic, and I was impressed! Not only did it sound nice, but was just as loud from 3 feet away as it was from 8\" away. This mic turned out to be a handy tool to have in the mic locker! I think I\'ll be purchasing a few more of these gems! close [-]
Excellent Vocal Reproduction

Music Background: Retired musician but still performing for my church
Since I no longer play any of my guitars except for an acoustic-electric Yamaha APX500, I decided to retire my PA system and other gear for a single Hartke AC75 acoustic amp, and a new microphone. ... read more [+]/>
For years and in several bands, I\'ve always used the SM57 as my vocal mic, preferring it over the more popular SM58, because the SM57 seems to isolate peripheral sounds much better than the SM58.
However, when I plugged the SM57 into the mic channel of the Hartke AC75, no amount of EQing could get the sound I was looking for. The SM57 sounded like mud and would break up very easily.Since the amp was making my guitar sound better than it had ever sounded before, I knew that the problem was in the mic and not in the amp.
After months of researching microphones, reading every review I could find, and even reviewing YouTube videos for samples, I decided on the Blue EnCORE 100.
I was not disappointed! When it arrived, without changing any of the settings on the amp, I disconnected the SM57 and connected the Blue 100.
I was stunned at the difference! This beautiful mic is as clear as crystal! For my voice and my rig, it was a perfect match. The SM57 is now stowed away, and will only come out again if some emergency arises!
When I rehearse, I have the Hartke AC75 amp sitting about 4 feet away from me on my left, and turned sideways so that the speakers are directly facing me and the microphone. There is not even a hint of feeback. I just can\'t say enough about how clear this mic sounds. (It\'s connected to a Blue Blueberry XLR mic cable, which runs into a DigiTech Vocalist Live 2. I plan on getting another Blueberry cable to run from the Vocalist Live 2, to the amp.)
I\'m 62 years young, and have played and performed since the age of 14, so I\'ve heard and used a multitude of microphones.
Trust me when I say that I am 100% satisfied with this mic, and I believe that you will be too! close [-]
Better that the Sennheisser or SM58

I have used the Shure SM58 for the past 2 years and decided to try a couple of other mics, the Sennheisser 835 and the Blue enCore 100. The ecCore wins. It has great tone like the SM58 for male voca ... read more [+]ls yet captures the highs really well. It is crystal clear and a bit more sensitive. I also have the Audix OM5. The Blue is quickly becoming my favorite. The Sennheisser just didn't blow me away. It looses your voice unless you are right on top of it. The Audix OM5 is clear, but didn't reflect the lows of my baratone voice like I wanted.
The only constructive comment I have is that the Blue was more sensitive to popping from the air of my breath on the mic.
I also love the look of the mic.
FYI, I had the mic plugged into the Bose Personal Audio System.
If I had to rank these mics, they woudl be in the following order:
1) Blue enCore 100
2) Shure SM 58
3) Audix OM5
4) Sennheisser 835
Buy the Blue. You won't be dissapointed. close [-]
