[Mono] Incredible cost-benefit ! Could buy it over and over. Really happy with the sound of it. I use it mainly for talkback with my boom operator during audiovisual kinds of project. I Highly recomend it!

[Mono] This foam screen really addressed the problem for us, we are actually using it with Audio Technica mic which was really sensitive to plosives but with this screen the issue is solved. You can blow directly in to the mic and no longer get a nasty pop.

[End Address] Outstanding clarity on vocals. Fantastic resistance to proximity effect. Need to mic an acoustic? Slap it right up there and go. This mic is great for male and female vocals, along with various sundry uses as well. If you need to upgrade your SM series mic to something better, this is your choice. This is my GO TO vocal mic.

[Black] This lectern mic has exactly the features we were looking for at our church: thin neck, solid base, flexible neck parts, and on/off button with status light. The sound quality and the sensitivity are very good at a reasonable price. Success!

[End Address] We have a terribly bright and reflective chapel sanctuary, along with a pulpit dangerously near (what I think) is an improperly angled FOH. After switching from a boundary mic (what was left by the previous 'engineer', also a Shure) to this one, 99% of my podium-narrator-speaker-headaches are vaporized. Even with choir monitors on full, I couldn't get this mic to feedback - cracked it up, wouldn't break. The only thing I have to worry about now is just how loud do I really want to make my presenter. I haven't side-by-side this with anything in its class, but what I want it to do and how well it does it, I don't see a need to.

[Mono] We ordered these to replace some SM58. Love the tone and response.

[Black] Using this for lie performance as one of my best microphones.

[0.895 lb] Very quick delivery. Easy install of course.
Sound now noticeably improved with these mics, may be buying a few more soon.

[Supercardioid] We use this in our high-ceiling, 100 year-old church/worship hall that can be a difficult room to obtain optimal sound reinforcement. This mic replaced our much older Shure model that was only about 12 and the results are night and day. The 18 Shure really grabs the voice and channels it better than I expected. One of the reasons is that the extra length puts the mic closer to the reader's mouth (It also comes with a mounting base that you can drill/bolt onto a podium at the ideal spot for you). It is an excellent choice for having various readers each church mass, because there's no need to constantly adjust the sound. Even when readers forget to move the mic in the direction of their mouth (for excessively tall or short people) the mic still picks up beautifully. On that topic, when moving the mic, there is no noise picked up, so you can position it silently with no problem and without the need to mute the channel. Our sound system consists of a pair QSC KW 122s and now a 2nd pair of QSC K10's, routed through a DBX 231 eq and a Mackie ProFX 12 mixer with phantom power, which this mic requires. Pretty basic stuff, but highly effective at pushing sound for about 125-150 people. The reason I mention our system is that this mic will surely perform differently in different rooms.The only drawback is that depending on your speaker placement and what other mics you are using in the room (lavalieres for example), you may experience some feedback at higher levels because it really picks up a lot. So, with some care and consideration about such things, you can try to reduce or eliminate the other channels/sound going into this mic and creating a feedback loop. This mic's technology seems to be far superior to the older model, so it does a cleaner job of grabbing what you want and not what you don't. I highly recommend it, especially for churches or podium situations.

[0.895 lb] Works perfectly, the LED ring is very helpful for speakers to know when the mic is on or off.
