The Beta 58a sounds more dynamic and natural to me at an ideal distance, while the NEXADYNE seems to filter out subtle volume changes and artificially boost the 10k range.
I can hear a significant improvement in the reproduction of your speaking voice through just my tiny iPad speaker. And I find the difference is even more obvious when singing into the mics. Much like how the difference was more notable when you were recording the saxophone vs your speaking voice. I prefer my Nexadyne over my Beta58. But I’d say the law of diminishing returns applies in regards to price.
I think I would swap to them, if the price was say, 50% more than a Beta 58? That would work for me, but at the moment, they're just not economic, which is a shame.
Being a professional singer, you made me realize that my deep voice would definitely balance out better with the brightness of the Beta. Microphone price tags mean nothing, it’s all about how your voice will ultimately sound through it.
Yes - I can imagine a baritone, let alone a bass would suffer pretty badly from proximity effect - I would say this mic could well be very useful in that context.
my beta 58A looks different, mine are matte grille and slightly different shape on the grille. Also, my beta58a's have much less handling noise. are you sure your beta58a is not a fake?
I took great care with the recent comparison I did with the fake one, and made sure to mark the fake I bought? Have you seen that video, there's a close up of the insides of the one I've had for a while vs the fake? All the Beta 58's I have are circa 2019, or possibly 18? I'd be interested in seeing yours? that could be useful? I think mine came from Thomann - but 4/5 yrs is stretching the memory.
