This legendary vocal microphone is designed for professional vocal use in live performance, sound reinforcement, and studio recording. Its tailored frequency response for vocal sound is a world standard for singing or speech. A highly effective built-in spherical filter minimizes wind and breath "pop" noise. A unidirectional (cardioid) pickup pattern isolates the main sound source while minimizing unwanted background noise. Rugged construction, a proven shock-mount system, and a steel mesh grille ensure that even with rough handling, it will perform consistently indoors or out.
