| These are a good workhorse mic for their price point. However, I tend to like
and am willing to pay for larger diaphragm mics on the choir to give it more
body and less tinniness (like an AKG C351B). That said, this one works as well
or better than similar ones from other manufacturers and it's the one I tend to
go to. |
