Item is very sleek and picks up voices rally good. make sure you have a device that provides phantom power.

I have mixed feelings about the use of boundary and PZM mics. We use one of these about every ten feet across the stage to pick up dialogue for recording in community theater. I really don't think this is practical for live P.A. as it would require a serious audio mixer to bring in the appropriate mic at the right time and not generate feedback. The cost/benefit ratio makes these a great value for school & community recording. The output level is in the same range as with most other microphones (a real plus to those of us who have to use attenuators to reduce the gain of hot condenser mics) The cable is very thin and a fair amount of care is required to protect it on the floor. As with many other boundary mics the front to back rejection ratio isn't high enough to knock out reverberation from the house, so it is necessary to place an acoustic damper downstage of the microphone.

question

can i get this mic with a 30' foot cable and mute button ?

Hi, We use these boundary mics for filming round table conferences. All are connected via an additional 10m (approx 33 ft) XLR cable to an audio deck. No problems with noise.Each has its own channel so easy to null the gain if mute is needed. They work really well. Great value for the money. Hope that helpsK
