Anyone use a gooseneck mic from their mixer? I am looking for something cheap to go along with my wireless mic setup.

You mean the kind of thing where the plug, gooseneck and mic are all one unit? I had one once, but the sound quality wasn't that great. You're probably better off using a gooseneck mic stand and attaching a standard mic to it.

The other thing I've used in the past that made a good mic stand was an old anglepoise lamp I bought at a car boot sale. I removed the lamp from the end and attached a mic holder. Works a treat!
 
I just tried 3 and decided on an audio technica. I don't remember the model but it has a switch on it and it was about $50.
 
I used to use a gemini "Mighty Mic" which looked like the mic Terry Wogan used to use on the "Blankety Blank" quiz show in this country (most of you probably won't get that - but anyone above or around the age of 30 in britain will know exactly what I mean!)

I found, like previous posters that the sound quality wasn't so good, very tinny sounding by comparisson with a conventional mic.

What I use now is a short XLR gooseneck, in other words an xlr plug on one end, and an xlr socket to plug a "proper" mic in to at the other end with a bendy gooseneck in between - the mic I use is a Shure PG58, the sound quality of which is superb.

The only problem was when I changed mixing desks from a Numark cm200 which has a gooseneck mic socket built in, to a denon x-900 which does not. I ended up having to mount an xlr socket on a 1u blanking panel in my audio desk, and wire that in to the socket on the back of the denon.

I find having the mic permanently tethered to the desk on a gooseneck useful to avoid it going walkabouts!

I use a wired gooseneck and plug in my Shure SM58...works real well.
 
I use a gooseneck mic on my main mixer for announcements, etc., so as to avoid the need for bothering with the boom stand / mic combo setup I used to have. The quality issue wasn't much of a trade off, really. I use a separate mic mxer run thru effects unit for vocals.
 
I have a mixer with an XLR plug on top which I would like to utilize, which is why I originally thought "gooseneck". Can anyone be a little more specific on how they are using their shure wired mics in a "gooseneck" fashion? I am not apposed to using a shure SM58 as long as I don't have some mount to hassle with. I like the ease of use in just plugging in the small gooseneck mic, but if I can figure something out with a SM58, the sound quality and inexpensive price seems appealing?

Thanks!
