Audio-TechnicaPRO45W Cardioid Condenser Hanging Microphone

Mounted two of them in the church for better singing quality. Awesome performance.

I have used these mics for years for overhead mic'ing of choirs with very good results. They may require a bit of experimenting with placement and eq, but once you get right they sound good.

Very surprised how well these work. Even with multiple one in one room. Great value

Incredible. Incredibly sensitive too, low noise, but can pick up hums and vibrations and such from fans etc. As soon as I turned my fan off which was a good 30 feet away, I could hear my drumset crystal clear and the noise floor was very low. I put this in a high walled stairwell and it picks up the dark echo ambience very well. I should have gotten 2. *Update, just got a 2nd one*

great product. I don't find anything flat about it's response but I love it's clarity and what I can do with what it picks up! Perfect mic for the $. who knows, maybe it really sounds like that 10' up!Using as blend for live recording, I pick up the house sound with this mic and lay the soundboard signal on top of it; with the right eq on this mic it makes for a great rich, clear mix. Without the eq it sounds like it's in a tube.update on review: In looking back, I think the mic has a perfectly flat response and it did sound really different 10' up in our venue where I had the mic hanging. I love the mic, it is very directional which means you can point it in a manner that avoids feedback and you can choose what you pick up with it. Great mic for the money.

We bought this for a Christmas play at our church. Our sanctuary is small and long/narrow. We simply could not get it working without serious feedback. It was probably our space, but note that this is a sensitive mic. We are very thankful that we were able to return it quite easily. One of the many reasons we shop Amazon.

Good pickup. It is important to know that this is only the beginning. When I first connected it with the default settings on the board it did not sound nice. Once the mixer was set, I could not be more satisfied. This is the fourth one I own and am satisfied with the product.

This was a replacement microphone for an existing system. They seem to work well and have good pickup. If i were installing a system from scratch I might consider using a different microphone. Overall it seems to be a good mic for the money.
