Durable and a nice heavy weight

I use the product as a sports PA announcer. It is very helpful to have the on and off switch. We use it with booth a gooseneck mic and by just plugging an xlr cable into it as well. I really like how heavy it is, as the table can sometimes get hit hard in basketball. It doesn't go flying off the table. Strongly recommend.
