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.

This is not definitive as everyone will have their own sweet spot frequency wise, but a good starting point!

All you had to do was scroll to the VOCAL RANGE IN TERMS OF FREQUENCY section.

george I saw that after I took another look, sorry. As we all know running sound for 100's of non-professional singers can be a challange and the normal rules may not apply. Screamers, Coners, Whisperers, and just plain bad singers make getting a good sound a constant battle, but my reward comes from avreage singers that I can make sound good and great singers that I let their true voice come thru

Screamers - Use a good compressor/limiter Coners - ??Assuming you mean mic cuppers? If you have a sweepable mid on your mixer, do a hard mid cut at approx. 1K & turn the bass/treble up a smidge. If you don't have a sweepable mid, then a hard cut on the midrange, but some boards have their mid settings set at different frequencies & may not always work very well. Whisperers - Not a whole lot you can do here. I will usually sweep their mid up in the 250-350hz range, cut the high/mid & low mid a bit on the music & back the music volume down a bit. just plain bad singers - Eq adjustments aren't as critical as compression settings & some effects for the plain bad ones.

Can't put everybody in the same bucket.
We have a gal in out private Karaoke club who is not comfortable raising her voice. Even when she speaks it is in a soft spoken manner. To compound the problem, she does not like to hold the mike too close to her lips. It was very difficult for her to be heard when singing duets or group songs, and required a lot of mixing and volume when doing solos. She was becoming reluctant to perform, and the heck of it is she has the best female voice in our group. We taught her to "cup" the mike, and it solved the problem for all concerned. She's happy and willing to perform, the rest of us get to enjoy hearing her, and my job is easier. |

Reverb is the bad singers best friend.
