When I plugged it in at church and tried out the sound I was speechless. No pun intended. It had the best clarity I have ever heard in a mic. I play guitar and sing so I had to put it on a boom stand. Turns out it looks absolutely amazing on a boom stand. You NEED to buy this mic. I wish I could give it 10 out of 5 stars. close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Brian Cravens
The "Elvis" Mic. Updated from the original, this sounds much better than the original - plus, it will give you the million-dollar visual impact you need onstage. Take one along for those frequent paparazzi photos. Your fans will love it.
