We use it as a pulpit mic at church. The sound quality is great and it is practically unnoticeable from the pews in the church.

Great Product

question

Is anyone using 2 of these simultaneously with the tascam dr-40 and if so, does the phantom power from the tascam do ok? How long can you record with a new set of batteries? Thanks
Asked by: Robert
I do not own a Tascam dr-40, but we used 2 of these with phantom power from a Canon XA-10 and they worked well. It may be a decent alternative to a bunch of lav mics and a mixing board.
