Any opinions out there on EV Cobalt 7 mics?
« on: December 07, 2012, 02:35:34 AM »

I'm helping out a local bar that wants to offer a basic (i.e.-budget) mic selection to the local bands they hire that don't have mics of their own.
While I realize that the Cobalt series mics have been discontinued, I have seen several "2 for 1" specials online.
What I'd like to know from those of you who've used these is:
*Sound quality?  Are they at least basically decent?
*Durability?  Are they the typical EV build quality?
*Ease of cleaning the grilles?  Does the grille screw on and off Shure-style?
Thanx for any and all information and insights you can provide!

I needed a bunch of inexpensive mics and tried the Cobalt. Not impressed.

I bought twenty GLS ES57 and ES58 mics and they work perfectly. They sound good, look like Shure mics and are selling at thirty bucks each. I've been using mine for five years without any problems.
