Amazing Mics

I purchased these on the recommendation of my sales engineer, Ian. Finally got to install them and work with them - and I am blown away. Powerful and amazing mics. Using them for auditorium sound input for our online streaming. They are going to be perfect for the task.
Rated 5/5

The perfect littlle microphone

We use this microphone for recording sessions, live streaming of performances and boosting of audio levels of child performers and/or acoustic instruments when needed. These microphones give big sound while at the same time being easy to hide in plain sight due to their small size.
Rated 5/5
