Sennheiser Condenser Microphones

Purchased from House of Guitars,Rochester,New York for 229.00 I needed a mic that wouldn't need to be equed so heavily in the monitors when playing out live. This mic out performed my trusty sm58 by leaps and bounds. Of course it's a condenser mic so it has a lot more guts than a 58. I used it live for the first time and was amazed at the tight cardiod pattern it produced allowing me to not have to cut all my high frequencies to kill feedback in the monitors. It has a smooth attack and lots of presence which really helped to save me from over singing. This is a phantom powered mic so that must be taken into consideration when purchsing it. I like everything about this mic. Professional looking.Gotta be carefull not to drop it though as the condeser mics are much more delicate than passive mics. A great value, a strong performer and it helps your overall performance by letting you hear more of the frequencies that you need to be hearing especially in a rock situation where the sound levels are up there.
