I had a moment to do a few more experiments...


4 UHFR at 100mw


4 UHFR at 100mw bundled together




4 UHFR at 100mw in the trays

I'm going to bet that current SM58s sound more like their 1970s counterparts than 4560s with 2440s on 2350s sound like modern speakers.  :P


This is in connection to another recent thread about 58s.  Dave, do the new ones sound significantly different from the old ones?  It's so rare for me to hear new and old ones next to each other and in front of the same noise sources.

Yeah! Tell me about it. 
Of course, a lot of things in mic land have gone the other way.  Ever use a PGA58?

Thank you for enlightening me.

I do remember calling it SIA-Smaart. In those times the hire company I worked for in Portugal had a Windows machine that would be formatted every month so I could reinstall the 30-day trial.

I've still got a set of floppy disks that say JBL-Smaart on them.  Not sure where JBL factored into the mix, but I used that version of Smaaet for a lot of years....

On the Smaart topic...



UHFR


ULXD


UHFR/ULXD

The ULXD's are a little closer to 2.9ms but Smaart catches the peak just after it.

ERC's hit the nail on the head with that one.   :)

My comment on a "new" 58 was a comparison between a mic that was smashed, caked in stale liquor and various bodily fluids and a new mic out of the box.  Not between generations.  However, I did the bark test using a 15-20 year old 58 from my touring workbox and a couple year old 58 from the show.  I couldn't really hear much a difference.  I haven't been using 58s for mission critical lead vocal in 15-20 years.    So much has changed in both loudspeakers and ear mons that any difference may well be up to the reproducing transducer rather than the mic.  With the 58 capsules we use for events with either a UHFR or ULXD I don't hear much of a difference, if any and the guys out in the truck haven't noticed anything.

Dan any change you have a dB(A) weighting in your measurements?

Merlijn,
  Nice catch!! There had to have been something going on with the pink noise generator.  I was thinking, 'wow...those filters are way higher than a TM400.'  Not sure when I'll see the gear again but I'm happy to look into it.

" 4560s with 2440s on 2350s" That was an age test Dave.  You failed  ::)

The actual response is pretty ruler flat, but with some weirdness in the phase trace.

Ultimately there isn't enough gain in the beltpack to use it with a battery powered Earthworks test mic, and Shure doesn't yet make a test/measurement mic head for the handhelds.
