I was listening to the James Cotton stuff on Verve today. He really focused on his vocals on a lot of the stuff....great stuff! I've read that he was using Super Reverbs or Brown Concerts with Shure 585 mics in those days. I've never seen a 585 up close and I'm wondering how it compares with SM57, 545, etc. His tone was awesome and varied...big ranges of tones. Of course, I have no idea what mic/mics he used on these recordings but it did bring me to this question.
Thanks,
Jay

The Model 585SAV and 585SBV Microphones are
unidirectional dynamic microphones with a very effective
filter that provides excellent protection from wind
and "pop" (explosive breath sounds). They feature fine
reproduction of music and voice, and are ideal for use
with high quality sound systems and tape recorders.
The versatility of these microphones is enhanced by
the inclusion of a built-in volume control which permits
the user to change the volume of the sound system
from the microphone location.
~hese-microphones are particularly suitable for use
in theaters, night clubs, auditoriums, schools, churches,
indoors or outdoors, and any place where omnidirectional
microphones may not operate properly because
of poor acoustics or where wind creates a problem,
such as during outdoor receptions, inaugurations, or
sporting events. These microphones will, in almost
every instance, eliminate the annoying loudspeaker
"squeal" caused by feedback. In addition, they will
prevent echoing (boominess) that sometimes occurs in
partially-filled halls. These microphones can also be
used closer to loudspeakers than usual, without creating
feedback problems.
This suppression of feedback, combined with their
smooth sound, makes these microphones particularly
good for usewith orchestras, small combos, and singers
----------
The Model 585SA is high impedance for connection
to high-impedance microphone inputs.
The Model 585% is low impedance for connection
to microphone inputs rated at 19 to 300 ohms. The
low-impedance microphone is recommended where
long cable lengths are required or under conditions
of severe hum disturbance. The permissible cable
length is practically unlimited since neither response
nor level is appreciably affected. Shure Model A95
Series Line Matching Transformers are. available for
use in those cases where a low-impedance microphone
line. is desirable but the associated amplifier has a
high-impedance input. These transformers provide a
proper impedance match between a 19 to 300 ohm
microphone line and a high-impedance input and are
available with various input and output connectors.

@SUKM: Have you used this kind of mic before. You're definitely someone who has experience with lots of different mics. How would you compare the 585 with a SM57 or what would you compare it to?
Thanks!

The 585 is very similar to an SM58. The ball makes it harder to get a good tight cup.
