Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have this Peavey PVi 2 for a while, but never got a chance to compare with other Microphones. This one has excellent gain, good vocal quality and good build quality even when compared to Shure microphones.
I got a chance few days ago in live environment to compare with other Microphone I borrowed for a program, one is Shure SM58 and another Shure PG58.
Compared to Shure SM58:
PVi2 has little more gain at same mixer setting, and vocals quality is about same, and also gain is little better even with Mic few inches away.
The heftness of the unit ( quality) felt about same.
But what I observed is, the Shure SM58 has no handling noise at all, where as PVi2 has quite a bit handling noise when changed between hands etc.
Compared to Shure PG58:
These PG58 and PVi2 are about same price, PVi2 getting some discount it may be available for $5-$10 cheaper than PG58.
Sound quality, PVi2 has not only has more gain, but also felt has more Vocal are more clear. Build quality may be PVi2 somewhat better.
Now, the handling noise, these both are almost close to each other, may be PVi2 has little better but not my much.
Overall, I would say, Vocal quality wise PVi2 can hang-on with SM58, but with more handling noise, so it is suitable for use with Microphone stands where handling noise would not be a problem.
But, I think it is definitely little bit better than Shure PG58 at about same or little lower price. Both PVi2 and Shure PG58 comes with XLR cable and Mic clip.
If handling noise is a problem I would avoid both Shure PG58 and Peavey PVi2.
