Several years ago I bought a $25 Audio-Technica mic that was on sale at Guitar Center. I never really got in to home recording, so it just managed to sit around until a few months ago when my wife and I put together a band. Our vocalist has been using it with no problems, but she decided to go out and buy a $150 Shure 55SH. When we plugged it in however, it only produces about 60% of the volume of the cheap A.T.
None of us know a huge amount mics (she's a great singer, but never been in a band)...so what's the problem here? Both are dynamic, and both are being plugged in to the same mixer. Do we need a preamp?
