Review on Marantz Professional MPM 1000 Microphone Windscreen by Jeremy Sabey

An excellent microphone for the beginner who knows what "condenser microphones" and "phantom power" are. Very high quality construction for the price. I'm a musician who plays and records guitar and vocals for fun. This allows for very clear pickup of guitar and vocals and is forgiving of changes in mic distance during performance. A single microphone is good for amplifying a singing quartet in a church. Gain can be high enough before feedback is detected at normal volume levels. Fairly constant tone depth in the area of the cardioid characteristic. Metal structure to fix the microphone and the shock absorber, but the screw-threaded body and the hinge are made of plastic! The rest is almost perfect.
