"Great Sound for the Dollar-Smooth"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I play an I 5 audix mic normally with an adapter going through a Nanoverb and an Art Tube MP to boost the signal. The nanoverb has 2 inputs so I added my wireless mic and I'm playing the HM40 Samson exclusively now.
Sound
The Sound of the HM40 Samson Mic has a smooth mid range, slightly warm low end and the highs are sweet. Very Nice Mic setup for the buck. I was pleasantly surprised by the sound. If your Key Noise coming from your sax comes through your mic you need to get it fixed. No Key Noise for me.
Features
Everything you need comes with the mic. the plastic cover is delicate to replace the battery and could easily break if you don't handle it with care but otherwise nice. The battery last 3 gigs.
Ease of Use
The mute and power switch could be confusing if you get in a rush.
Quality
I take very good care of all my gear with loading and unloading and setting up and tear down. It should last a long time. If you treat it with respect it will be around for a while.
Value
For the buck you really can't beat it.

The Wow Factor
