I've not use a CM-500 but I do have and use the SB-40. I have different
EQ values programmed for the SB-40 as compared to the Shure SM-58 which
I use. Both, being dynamic mikes, get great audio reports.
The issue with the SB-40, being a dynamic mike, if it is too close to
the mouth it sounds a bit bottom heavy. With most dynamic mikes,
mike-to-mouth distance is very important. To close = too much bottom
end. With the SB-40 about 2" from the mouth and about mid lip/chin
level I find to be best. Don't get it up high above the mouth as
breathing through the nose will be noticed.

The SB-40, with its dynamic mic element, has a lot of bad
reviews on Amazon regarding mic audio quality, so I never have
tried it.
The Koss SB-45 on the other hand, with its electret element,
sounds great, and is very comfortable and affordable. I prefer
it over my Yamaha CM500 because it has a nice padded headband
that doesn't abrade my bald head like the rough webbing on the
CM500.
So how is the SB-40 working for you? Are you happy with the
sound in the monitor, and with on the air reports?
