Condenser microphone makes this an excellent performing table microphone. Does not have to be right in front of speaker

Excellent Gain before feedback

We went through several microphones before settling on the MX418DS for a podium microphone at our church. Others just didn't give us the clean sound for live streams and gain we needed for room amplification.
