Not just a vocal microphone This microphone is doing a great on instrumental section and solo recording. With great sensitivity and low noise doing live recording of a solo (saxophone) and the sax section at the time is possible. Also a good room ambiance microphone. Interesting detail I think it's interesting that the item weight is 2.4 pounds, but the shipping weight is 2.2 pounds. They must pack it with helium balloons! At any rate, I've used this model and like it very much.
