We are facing a dynamic mic format Handholds, served in a solid metal frame. The version in my possession was delivered with a carrying bag made of faux leather quality, but pretty pointless to transport a little more violent. Originally it was the clip microphone and an adapter for a different format of microphone stands.

The microphone is easy to find in stores and is widespread in time. However, beware of very many copies, sometimes performed perfectly (I know a Chinese owner of Shure, the analogy is striking with the original) that pollute the second hand market. There is no way to make a difference for a normal consumer, except for a dismantling of the internal electronic components that should be of a different origin as Mexico made!

All this is good and average.

OVERALL OPINION

Is a microphone that I use for over ten years now. it's been, like many, my first microphone.

Instead of praising or destroyed, as happens too frequently, I prefer to draw up a realistic profile.

This is not the best microclimate in the world, but he does what he has to do quite well. It is quite true, although, like most shure it has its specific grain, slightly sparkling, slightly lisping when attacked too much and a small effect of loudness in the medium which is typical. The highs are there, although not open across. Note also that the "side thickly" described above can become an asset in metal or rock types for which he shows in his place. It is a micro uncritical use, possibly even the microphone as arranging for the live view of its extreme resistance to feedback. It does not require too much should "play the microphone," however, I blame him to quickly lose their effectiveness when we move away a little. Out for softer styles, it makes sense to move away a little, just to counteract the loudness in médlium (which some also call "aggression").

Now, without dec, I knew a lot more open, more dynamic, more defined. Certainly. But never to 130 euros, and rarely compatible with a stage use either, be aware that alternatives exist but at Beyerdynamic, Sennheiser, AKG and Neumann, to name only the best known.
