"Awesome Condenser Mic"

Feature:
Quiet on/off switch. battery last a long time for phantom power.

Quality:
extreemly rugged, heavy duty and sleek design.

Value:
For my personal taste it's a great value.

Desirability:
very practical mic. nothing too sexy

Sound:
Awesome for instrument pick-up. Piano, Guitar, and chior Not for use with close-up vocals. A windscreen is avalible. My fav mic. will pick up from up to 6 feet away. Used 2 for a 30 member choir, one for a 6 member ensamble. one for a guitar and vocalist thru one mic. Very low feedback.

Ease of Use:
Mic works great if you use it for its intended purpose. I've had some folks try to put the mic right up to their lips and hate it because its a condenser mic Not a dynamic mic,(too many pops from too much air.)

Support:
never have needed anything fixed on a shure mic.

Overall:
I plan to keep this mic for a long time. I like it so much that I gave one to the chapel at Incirlik AFB and they ordered 3 more to eliminate 6 dynamic mics being used for ensambles. I always keep my eyes open for them on sale.

"Shure-for sure"

Feature:
on/off

Quality:
I have taken these on the road, dropped them. hit them with a drum stick... and they continue to work perfectly

Value:
it was cheaper to just buy the six mic (drums) but when i needed another for more cymbals... it was a little pricey.

Desirability:
long slender black and smooth, how could you not want it. actually they blend in very well and dont really get in the way.

Sound:
i record my cymbals on my drumset with these (with my band). I get perfect sound, aside from having to buy a soundcard for my computer.

Support:
The mesh on the tip was cut, from factory, i took it to shure and recieved a replacement with no argue.

Overall:
so far they are amazing and i wont need a replacemtn until i become an extreme audiofile...
