This is Shure's "budget" live vocal mic. As the very low price implies, this is not really a terribly good mic. It does have a couple of nice features though. First, the frequency respon…

Here is a very nice looking vocal mic intended for the stage. It is very stunning to look at as a throwback to the retro mics of the 50's and 60's. You would expect to see Elvis grabbing one of the…
