Mixed microphone, it is used for voice, whether for speech or singing. It is a dynamic cardioid unidirectional microphone.

OVERALL OPINION

I used it for 5 years before changing microphone because I had other uses, but I keep it in emergency microphone.

I tried several microphones models rocked before opting for this model in 2002.


What I like most:
- Simple, without adjustment, it works instantly
- It captures the voice with ever acceptable quality even in noisy environments,
- As it is a one way, one can avoid feedback when talking to speakers if care is taken not to proceed to speakers.

What I like least:
- There is no On / Off,
- It is useless without strong pre-amplification, because it lacks fishing
- The protection grid is too fragile, it sinks too easily at the slightest shock during transport. The microphone is still usable, but visually it has a fart with headphones,
- The sound is clean, but it is not bright,


Its value for money is bad today, because he remained at the same price but today was much better for less.
Given its quality, it should have come under € 50: € 100 sell is ridiculous seen improved microphones cheap for 15 years.
Dynamic microphones stereo € 29 sold in supermarkets are better and more fishing if unbalanced with which they are sold by a balanced XLR cable (which costs 10 € max) cable is replaced.
Audio microphones "professional" unmarked cost up to four times cheaper for the same performance (such as T-Bone MB-85 sold at 25 €).

In 2002, it was a safe choice, but now I would not buy more.
