Shure PGA98H Condenser Microphone - with Cardioid Pick-up Pattern,Condenser Gooseneck Instrument Microphone with TA4F Connector for use with Wireless Systems (PGA98H-TQG)

Purchased this for a Trombone mic for a live Vegas theatre show. Works great. We bought one several years earlier for the Trumpet, and it's still working great. Good mic for a decent price.

Very Nice product, projects a great and exceptional sound

Works great! I was using a mic on a stand for my alto sax, but it was difficult to keep the sax close enough while playing. This clip-on follows my sax, and I can easily move it to my tenor as well.

Excelente!!

I purchased this to mic up my resonator guitar (the onboard piezo was junk, and other pickups just didn't capture the resonator biscuit...which is really the whole point on that style of guitar). This Shure mic did the trick. It sounds pretty clear and authentic, way better than other little mini-preamp mic contraptions or acoustic pickups. If using it for a guitar, it can be tricky to find a place to clip it so that it stays secure and stays out of the way of strumming. (You can see what I worked out on my pictures). It is definitely well built for pro use. But since it is condenser, you won't want to drop it! I definitely recommend this mic. Only (mild) cons: - it could be just a *little bit* louder - it could be just a little bit cheaper (some $ is paying for the Shure name) - the XLR barrel is a heavy thing. It is built like a tank. That's good for durability of the socket, but you need to be careful not to hang all that weight on the fairly thin mic wire.

I play tenor saxophone in a cover band about once a month. I didn't expect this mic to make a major difference, but it did. I was personally tired of being restricted to a normal mic, and I wanted to be able to move around more without having to adjust a mic stand everytime. I also know next to nothing about sound equipment, but I know Shure's reputation and I thought it was a fair price. It sounds amazing for the price and it definitely beats my previous setup. I was originally debating between the wired one and the wireless, but because of the price difference, I went with the wired. Though I am restricted to the wire, I still am able to move about while also having enough length to suit my needs. If there any other sax players out there that know nothing about sound equipment, this the wired condenser mic does require phantom power. This would be an additional cost (less than $20 for a cheap phantom power source) unless your mixer has it built in. I can see myself using this mic for a long time. I highly recommend this for any sax play that wants better sound quality with an option of mobility on stage.

I wanted to attempt to use this to mic an acoustic guitar wirelessly. It works Extremly well. I was really impressed with the sound.

Buyer beware. This is "Shure" not to last very long. I bought it last year to mic my tenor banjo for gigs and it was good for one night only. Yep, one performance and then kaput! I plugged it in again for the next show and there was no signal. Luckily there was a house mic I could use or I'd have been up a creek. I was always careful with it, knowing that it was not something that could be tossed around. One look at it out of the box and you can tell right away the hairline cable is obviously just too fragile to last (especially as it's connected to a 1lb XLR jack - seriously, who designed this thing!). and as I feared it ...just ...died. I would not trust this as a working mic. Should of just gotten a tried and true SM57. Lesson learned... and money lost.
