    I bought two of these for use in a musical production to pick up singing by the larger cast on stage and also to record the cast/chorus for one scene for playback. These did a great job. They are small and have great hangers and long cords. They are probably not top of the line, but they did great. A note about using stage mics for live performances. We used a graphic EQ with these to find and remove the feedback frequency for the mics and hall, so we could get more gain out of them. They were perfect for recording a group of about 30 people. I would recommend these for use on stage, and the price is right.

    Our church added livestream in 2020 but we were noticing you couldn’t hear the sending prayer from the back of the church (we would process to the back where the un-mic’d assistant minister recites a sending prayer). We added this at the back and it’s proven much more useful than just for the AM sending prayer. We used it for a choir concert we hosted and it really completed the audio experience for livestreamer viewers as the choir entered the sanctuary walking under this microphone and you could hear the individuals walk past singing which made the viewer feel like they were right there in the audience.

    Amazing Microphones! Picks up sound very well, hangs from ceiling with no turning. Defiantly recommend this to anyone needing a good quality hanging mic for a good price!

    Purchased to hang over our small church choir so they could be heard over Zoom. We’ve been very happy with it!

    I purchased these to hang over a stage in a secondary school to supplement the existing centre stage microphones. Whilst, so far, I haven’t used them very much, the sound pickup is very good, as is the sound quality. The microphone is small and neat with a decent length of cable on them – plenty long enough for our needs. Unlike our existing microphones, the cable is terminated with a standard XLR plug (the existing ones have a transformer or similar built into the much bulkier XLR plug). This means that should the need arise, the plug can easily be re-terminated or replaced.
    My slight concern with these microphones is the hanging adapter that angles the microphone towards the sound source. Our existing ones have one made of a springy piece of wire which will take some abuse. These appear to be made of plastic which feels very flimsy, like it could break very easily given an enthusiastic user! Having said that, this is a minor issue – I would happily purchase these again should the need arise.

    These work really well! I accidentally drilled through the shielding of the one (don’t ask) and it still works great after a bit of electrical tape. These are really small and while I should have gotten the white ones (to blend better), the quality is really good.

    I use this (as one of 4) hanging from the ceiling in a conference room. I have had no problems with it. It does what is is designed to do. It delivers pretty crisp sound — I am recording discussion groups, so it is all talking with no music or singing. For my purposes, this is a really good value.
