I have two (Maplin - a bit flimsey) boom mic stands and a Beyer M58 mic.
This model was designed for news gathering so has quite nice a response
for speech. It did have a decent wind shield too but it has been stored
for some time and this has started to disintegrate. If you think it will
suite, I will order a new wind shield and we could try this. I also have
xlr fitted cables if required. They are available for the rest of the
broadcast.
I noticed, particularly in Tony's local programme, that he could have
done with at last one more mic when interviewing the band. They were all
trying to gather round just one - sounded very echoey.
Like Sarah, I would obviously appreciate everything back in one piece.

Just spoken to Ralph, he’s going to do the proper job on the mIc’s not
the half job our President did (Nick, that was a joke! 😊) or at
least Ralph will re-position the Mic stands and at the same time see
if he can nail down where the problem lies… its either the Mic or the
cable, Nick has proved its not the Compressor…. And I don’t think
it’s the desk….
Cheers
We will get to the bottom of this….

Afternoon all,
O.K. so with all the malarkey about the Mic’s this year, and POSSIBLY
(capital letters…) one of them is not quite up to Parr, coupled with
a Request for a freestanding Mic stand(s), and some more Mics for
Studio guests. Should we take this opportunity and order some more
mics and stands? If so, what sort of money, or shall we ask around
and borrow some kit? If so, does anyone have spare Mics and stands
that could loan 2 or 3 for the remains of the Month?
Please lets have a decision in the next 24/48 hours….
Rgds
