"Awesome Condenser Mic"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
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.
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.
Features
Quiet on/off switch. battery last a long time for phantom power.
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.)
Quality
extreemly rugged, heavy duty and sleek design.
Value
For my personal taste it's a great value.
Manufacturer Support
never have needed anything fixed on a shure mic.
The Wow Factor
very practical mic. nothing too sexy
