I wanted to test this microphone because I seek an omnidirectional microphone to capture atmospheres in enclosed room. This microphone, as it is not specified in the description, is absolutely Unidirectional (receives only in one direction - before :)) Then it has such impedance need mount the channel input volume to more than 2 times that of another micro even average quality (about 25 DB over the potentiometer of the mixer) The quality of the transmitted sound is very average and it takes a lot to play with the tone settings to get a result that looks like something natural. In short, this mic can potentially be used for karaoke if one has a fairly powerful amp, but no part of a sound system even amateur, whether for voice or even less singing. I put 2 stars because despite all this, this looks good. (Packaging which is not a simple little cardboard box) seems relatively strong and has no need to be embonnetté. And its quite long cable (5 meters XLR female for the microphone side / Jack 6.35 male for connection to table or amp) even if it may seem late, is flexible and well made and the contacts are of good quality also.
