whenever i gig or rehearse, im never happy with the sound threw the dynamic mic im using (More often then not its an SM58) and no matter what i do to the EQ, it always sounds tinny.

Now, there are certain methods to clear it up so i hear and they're compressors/limiters and chorus.

Is there any truth to that, what do you guys recommend?

Try a BBE Sonic Maximizer. The stompbox variety are crap, but a rackmount 362 will even out all your frequencies pretty good!

When you take any signal and feed it to a normal signal chain--a preamp, EQ, Amp, etc.--and out through a speaker, it's going to lose quality. It's one of the great negatives of amplified music : any signal fed to a speaker will lose quality due to problems that all speakers have with phase and accurate amplitude reproduction.

This causes fundamentals and harmonics to be out of order or even reversed, making the sound muddy. Certain frequencies may be overemphasized because of phase problems making the sound inaccurate and just plain bad.

This BBE unit's circuitry puts the clarity back in your signal by correcting those problems. The circuitry gives the speaker a signal that it likes, one that it can re-produce more efficiently and with clarity and loudness. It makes the waveform that the speaker reproduces closer to the natural, unamplified musical signal.

Ok, thanks. I'll look into it.

However theres no demos of voice being used with it which worries me a little.

The BBE is a nice addition to a system, and not really all that costly. I have personally used them in place of EQ's. But, what components do you currently use? Perhaps the problem isn't with the mic. What mixer, and how is it set up, what speakers. If the polarity should accidently get reversed on the main speakers they will cancel out certain frequencies. Everything has an effect. Generally, a sound system is designed to give you pretty good sound, and it only reproduces the signal it's fed. Give a little more info on your sound system.
