Comments about Audio-Technica AT8031 - Hand-Held Microphone:
I purchased this micrphone for public speech assemblies and I needed a micrphone that could use a battery when phantom power was unavailable. The pickup sensitivity is great, while the bass roll off switch is handy for outdoor use to reduce wind rumble.
All in all, a great microphone!
