Whats the frequency

[marklwood]

Most are between 100hz to 1000 hz. Barry White on the 100hz side, and Mariah Carey on the 100hz side.

well an sm58 peaks around the 3 to 6 khz and doesn't reach noramal levels till past 100hz.. the reason I'm asking is for EQ purposes I like to run alot of high end on vocals unless the singer needs less high end I know their is no way to set an EQ for every singer. Just wondering what kinds of settings everyone else is using. although I know every system should be run diffrently

This is not what I prefer, but what I am FORCED to do. I set my out front EQ by feedback to obtain the maximum volume before the mics feed back running very flat. This not for optimum sound, but for those people who can't seem to sing above a whisper or don't know that the mic has to be in the VICINITY of your mouth to work properly. Then if I actually get a good singer with some heft to their voice, I give the guys a little bit of boost in the highs and the girls a boost in the lows. But some girls sound like they have a mouth full of marbles if you boost the lows, so every singer ultimately has to be by ear.
