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.

I have a similar problem. Our sound people are very
good at coping with
it, though. One thing I know they do is use a Shure Beta58 mic for me
rather than the one they normally use as a caller mic.

I have another sound equipment question. My
natural voice comes out
muffled and bassy at the back of the hall unless I make a concerted effort
to raise my pitch and project from the diaphragm. I am also paying more
attention to my mic position. All these are good things to do anyway, but
it migh help in the few situations where the sound equipment is limited to
bring my own inline equalizer or mic preamp. The idea would be to
preprocess my mic before feeding the signal to the powered speaker or mixer
the hall is using.
So far all I can find are $99 mixer units with only a high and low band.
Actual mic preamps cost more. Is there anything under $100 to clarify my
tone?
Does anyone else do this?
