Shure 520DX Reviews

but not for every setting

so happy with the sound of the Green Bullet, but the very omni recording pattern meant it picked up everything in the room. for some purposes that may be ideal, it wasn't for mine. in short: very cool very specific piece

I'm sure, the shure is the best.

It was a gift for my brother. And you have to see his face while he is playing harmonica with this microphone:)

See any errors on this page?

Can this mic be used with a PA system?

Can this mic be used with a PA system?
Asked by: William
Yes, this really varies on the PA system you are using, but this microphone can be used with any standard PA. This microphone has a 1/4 TS cable connection that can be plugged into anything that supports a 1/4 input. (Standard guitar input.)
