[Callers] Equalizer

[Don Veino]

Agree on the Beta. I have a deep voice myself and use a Shure Beta 58
capsule in my wireless set up - it seems to work very well when coupled
with basic mixer tone adjustments (roll off lows significantly, mids around
neutral, boost highs).

When I was using venue "house" mics I found the results less predictable -
with my own I take that variation out of the equation. Proximity and
on-axis positioning does have a significant impact, I use a high quality
foam windscreen to ensure I keep a minimum spacing from the capsule to
avoid muddiness without muffling the high frequencies.
