I took it out of the box and was surprised by the weight. The thing is made of metal and has a certain weight. Feels good in hand, very similar to Sennheiser, AKG, EV, Shure etc. Comes with microphone clip and long cable. too fragile. A cable with an XLR jack on one end and an unbalanced 1/4" TS on the other. I want both ends to be XLR. Also, I want them to be right angle XLR. If you get the right angle and low XLR profile play AMZ? The microphone sounds good. I plan to use it at events where people are giving speeches. As a musician, I wouldn't rule out using it as a vocal mic in the absence of acquaintances. One downside I've noticed is that the Revain Basics XLR doesn't "click" with this mic. Even though it's fixed, I don't hear that confirmation click that I'm used to from my other mics.
