[None] I have 5 of these. I have recommended them to other performers. I use them on my banjos. The are incredible, I use a tywrap and fix it to a tension hook on the outside of the banjo facing down into a sound hole. It has a great sound, I have used it for years, from a small pa, to onstage for a large audience. It always performs well. I have also used it for recording along with the front mic. With Banjo, when you move off axis it changes the tone, but with this, mic, you have no problem with that. The sound is always consistant. Well Done Shure. 5

[50 Hz - 15 kHz] Exactly what the description said it would be. It's about twice the size of an ECM-50, but it has excellent sound quality for lower level productions. Seems fairly rugged and requires no batteries. Use it for church shoots. 5

[0.675 lb] I've used a lot of lav mics, from the $25 range to the $250 range. I got this mic in a package with some other equipment, and have been blown away at its professional sound. The signal-to-noise ratio is awesome, the sound is clear and the design is rugged. The only downside is that the mic itself is fairly large, and doesn't hide as well when clipped to the talent. 5

[50 Hz - 15 kHz] We use these mice in our HS TV facility. It takes a beating, and keeps working. Sounds great, and an excellent value. 5

[3-Pin XLRM type] I have used this mic countless times for interviews but it has also been used for live lectures as well. I like that there are no batteries to change, the mic is rugged, and has proven to be be a trooper after being handled by 100's of different clients over the past 10 years. 5
