Are these good for recording choir? Ive seen that other pencil condenser mics have been described in their product details as good options for that

They do have a nice sound and choir should be OK. I would use several at least. These are NOT the type of mic to put on electric guitar but a good choice for acoustic and banjo. Barry

At what prices come the others? The AKG is so low in price, the operation so simple, I ordered a second for a woman who had no experience with microphones or cameras. Plugged it into the Canon XA10, sent her to the airport.Listen to the microphone. And consider the distance from the guitar and accordion.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwY7gJXB7AwSince then, I've used it as a camera microphone on several interview assignments. It is not a lavalier but it is good for voices. I think I will order a third to be used on a boom pole by whatever haphazard volunteer I can get. At what prices come the others?

I think a lot depends upon the recording environment. These microphones will certainly do the job, but if you have a very good environment there are better ones. If you are in a well designed acoustic environment such as church or concert hall, I would prefer a pair of omnidirectional mics over these.

Any condenser mic will create noise, but I would suggest that you just buy dynamic mic and will just have a bit noise compare to condenser mic. For instruments you can try Gls es-57 and for voice use shure sm58 or gls

This is a good mic. I purchased it for my church. We have a mackie system that it is hooked into. It gives a great clear sound. We have also used it for conferences at hotels. It was a great buy and I would highly recommend it.

The microphone seems to be very good quality but I'm not sure if it will work well for your application.

We use that mic at the church. People have said they hear speakers better and our recital people have used them with success. It was the best money spent so far.

I think you would find this mic to be fairly spectacular for that type of recording application. I would suggest using the "flat response" position of the switch on the side of the mic and then EQ as needed.

Yes, they will work for singers. I like the system and would recommend for small events. If you are looking to have more than 2 singers i would suggest a larger system.

Hi Sue. I wouldn't even bother buying these. The sound quality is pretty bad. I was going to use these while filming weddings so I could talk to my partner during the ceremony and reception but my testing proved these mics to be worthless. I would look for something of higher quality. As for your original question...I do not think they would hold up very well with sweat since they are cheap. Just in case you still wanted to buy it =] Hope this helped

The quality isn't what I would call "Digital Reference". I've used it quite a bit for recording speech for video, and it's suited quite well for that. I haven't had the opportunity to determine it's low end response, so recording bass...thunder, waves crashing or live music might be asking more if this microphone than it was designed for...

In short, yes. I have done live violin and cello recordings with mine. You will have to experiment with distance to the mic and proper positioning of course to get the best sound as every instrument is a little different. And use a pop filter too. But I think that every cardioid condenser mic would be a "good mic" to record with. That having been said, you will never be disappointed with this mic.

I believe it would work well for a church setting. Please realize these are a very inexpensive wireless mic system. A great wireless system, from a company like Shure Brothers, will set your church back thousands of dollars. You may need to add an anti-feedback unit to your PA system if you don't already have one. Anyway, for the price - great choice - just don't expect the same feedback suppression and vocal quality as a professional type system. I am very happy with my system.

Hi Veronica,Sorry I didn't respond any earlier.What kind of recordings are you looking to make? This mic has a rich and natural sound to it.I am happy to answer any questions you have.Looking forward to hearing form you.Regards,Samir

Depends on what you are using them for- as a PA for speech only, they would handle it without difficulty. For a church setup, they are probably also adequate- you might push them hard occasionally- make sure you have adequate, CLEAN power. If you are looking to use these as a DJ/ club scene, you will want a sub. Peavey makes one that goes with these (PV118, I believe).

I would think the built in mic on a computer would be good enough for that. Are you speaking of a singing channel? Because then this would be perfect for recording

Although I like the mic for back-up vocals in live venues, I probably would not use it for recording purposes. I've never used it for mic-ing a piano or other instrument.

This is a standard stage ready dynamic microphone, it is not appropriate for recording podcasts or vocals directly to a digital recorder unless some type of digital interface is used first. For that purpose at very affordable prices, I would recommend the MXL 990 USB condensor microphone or using something like the PreSonus AudioBox USB Recording Interface.

I suggest going to "The Sound Professionals" website. I bought a set of their tiny SP-CMC-8 mics there and could not be more pleased with the sound. These were somewhat pricey, but they have MANY options. Good luck!
