Pleasant surprise

surprised by this mic. I used 4 of them across a 40 foot stage that I thought I could never use this type of mic on ( very bad speaker placement.) They worked very well. The gain before feedback was great and sensitivity was better than expected. The small footprint made it easy to overlook them from the house,but also easy to step on or kicked out of place ( a little gaff took care of that).

Works well at the altar

This mic has fit the bill perfectly for unobtrusive sound reinforcement at the high altar of our church. It replaced a high quality AT handheld condenser that was OK but visually obtrusive among the other elements in the altar setting. While we were shooting for "better looking and good enough," we actually wound up getting zero-profile and a better sound.

The sound is fundamentally open and smooth, and because of the boundary mic placement (waist high, on-axis, maybe 3' distance) there is no risk of sibilance or proximity effect. It is a real plus for the people at the altar to be able to just forget about microphone technique.

Final note, before getting this model, we tried (twice!) a slightly cheaper boundary mic from another manufacturer, with bad results. In fact the results were so bad that I suspect they were having a manufacuring problem, so perhaps not a fair comparison. In any event this AT mic has much better fit and finish for not a lot more money.
