Dynamic Vocal Microphones can very often look similar, regardless of the manufacturer involved. Above is a photo of the Beyerdynamic
TG V70d (s), one of my personal favourite Dynamic Vocal Mikes. I use this hyper-cardioid mike for vocals on the majority of my shows, particularly when recording live, for its power, clarity, warmth and excellent feedback resistance . Dynamic Mikes tend to be less risky when used in live music situations, particularly when the show is an unknown quantity, for instance at a festival. Condenser Vocal Mikes are excellent of course, but can be difficult being used with monitors and unkind room acoustics. Also, they don't always suit peoples voices, particularly female voices.
This is a photo of the ubiquitous Shure SM58. This mike has been a great workhorse for many years, and is still a very good microphone. Many experienced artists still feel extremely comfortable using this mike, as they know through experience, how it will behave. It was introduced in 1966 though and has therefore been in the business longer than I have, which is really going some. In that time though technology has changed dramatically though and there are many better sounding mikes on the market. these days. This mike is still great if you have a raucous, rock-style voice, but is not as well suited for lighter, softer voices.
