Electro-Voice Co9 Cobalt Premium Vocal Mic

Comments about Electro-Voice Co9 Cobalt Premium Vocal Mic:

This microphone is awesome for the money! I own one and will buy more in the future. This mic has very low handling noise due to a very cool internal rubber shock mount. I use this for karaoke all the time, so it gets dropped frequently. Unlike the SM58's I've used in the past, this grill is resistant to dents and bounces when dropped. EV mics rock!!

I have been playing music and recording for about 17 years..I have used just about every microphone out there including all brands. I bought this to utilize as a vocal mic in place of an SM-58. The difference is like night and day...MAN..I thought the old trust 58 was a sure thing...until I heard this baby....Not even close...the clarity, gain and power of this microphone sold me immediately...I bought 3 more after using this a week and I wouldn't go back to SM-58's for vocals ever again!

I actually went to buy a different mic. Was shown this one brought it home and now I'm hooked. I've been playing in bands for years and thought there was only one great mic company out there. I'm so impressed that I'm now going to add more of these and use their instrument mics to boot.

recently purchased this mic for a higher price than currently offered, and thought it was good at that price; it's even better now, a great buy at this price. Up against an sm58 i also have, it's clearer and not quite so much midrange, sounds more natural, but still adding some warmth and presence to the tone. sensitivity is about the same. handling noise somewhat more than the sm58, but that's not a problem for me, as i keep it on the mic stand. The plosives "t" and "p" pop a bit more, than that fabled mic though, and i look inside and look through the mesh and find that the foam on the inside of the cover is of low density, so maybe this could be fixed by a tweak from the manufacurer. I just use an inexpensive wind cover on it and it's great, fixes the problem. Sturdy, feels good, looks good. haven't compared it against a cobalt 7 or 4, though the specs look identical, and with the sale, they're basically the same price.

This mic is all i can say amazing. Its clear, the pickup in it is powerful that you can stand 3 feet away and it would still work although thats sometimes a downside but it just shows greatness. also this mic give 0 feedback. its perfect for a cramped practice space or stage. The day i bought this, i tried a sure SM58 and a Seinheiser 835 and this is just as good as the two. the only thing that scares me is that its made in china unlike SHURE but its still great quality and of course great value.

I went into my local Guitar Center looking for Microphones. I am building a Professional Karaoke System and Good Mic's are Important. I was shown the EV Co9. At first I thought they really don't look like much. Then I held one in my hand, they are hefty. So I bought two of them. I took one to the Karaoke club I go to, and asked if I could sing on my new microphone. Let me tell you the do sound better the Shure beta 58, but that's my opinion. I sing older Country Songs. In the style of Ray Price. These Microphones are worth what I paid for them. I plan on only using EV Co 9's as a primary microphone in my Karaoke System.

I bought one of these mics,10 years ago.it performs very well. Just as good as a sm58. It is very reliable, as I have used this mic in practice, recording, and over 300 live performances. It is still going strong. I have several sm58, and the EV co9 is just as good in every way. At this price I will defiantly buy 2 or 3 more. This is not my first rodeo, as I am a musician of 30 years.

Perform as well as higher priced mics. Great value when they are on sale!

Can't say I have a ton of experience with different mics - have really only used Shure mics up to this point. Picked up a couple of these for the home studio and thus far they have performed wonderfully. Can't speak to durability yet but they certainly don't feel like cheap mics. Plan to pick up a couple more. I also have EV powered speakers and have been very happy with this company to date.

I went to Guitar Center to get a cheap mic/stand/cable for work assemblies to use with my PA. They had these on the counter for a ridiculously low price, so I figured I'd take a chance. It has displaced every mic I own (Shure SM58, Rode M1), and will buy another if I ever see it for that price again. It is very warm and clear. Very heavy and solid feel. My only complaint is it is very directional and if you get off axis much it doesn't pick up. Not an issue for me, I was always taught to "eat" the mic.

Purchased this product when I saw it was on sale. Wanted a new microphone and had two Shure SM58's. Wanted something cheap just to use at practice for background vocals. This microphone surprised me, for the price you're not getting much bettter and that's the reason I gave 5 stars. I see a lot of people compare this to the Shure SM58 and I do prefer my Shure's, but if you need a mic for band practice and on a budget this is a 5 star mic in my opinion for it.

I use it along side my SM58s. Maybe slightly more handling noise but a good vocal mic.

I used it at a Birthday Party. The guest thought it was very professional.

Does the trick. As with most mics in this price point, lots of handling noise but the sound quality is adequate.

I love this mic. I only use it around the house. Got a great price, quick shipment. Ive had it a few months and still enjoy using it.

I wanted to try the mic with my new Boss singer amp, The mic is clear, clean, nice tone, and works well with my amp. I am very happy with my purchase. I read a lot of reviews and the Co9 got excellent ratings.

Got this microphone for a co-host on a podcast. Excellent sound quality. I have begun using this over an SM58 for live vocals in my band, as I like the way the EQ sounds vs. the 58. The bass-rolloff is suited for bassier voices as the mids and highs come through a little better than a 58, which can make me sound muddy in some rooms. Only downside is the handling noise. If it's on a stand, should be no problem though. Very nice for the price.

Haven't plugged it in yet. The weight and appearance suggest it is very good.
