"Simply put save your money and pay a little more for any other mic out there. I used two of these for some live event recording and the sound is flat and hollow. The mic itself is very likely to actually give off a whine or drone depending on how it feels. The length is long for a microphone with such a short range of pick-up. Anything over 10' is going to be drowned out by the ambient noise. I simply cannot recommend this mic over any Azden or Audio Technica (even the $200 ones) much less a Sennheiser ME66/67 mics. If you do own one, buy a mono to stereo adapter to fill out both channels, or you can fix it in post.

Expertise: Event videography company

Problems Encountered: This mic has a whine and low db setting that has a whine to it that is very hollow sounding.

Previous Equivalent Item Owned: ME66 ME67 AT897

Items I Recommend: mono to stereo adapter"
