one of the most versatile stage mics EVER capable of micing guitar cabs, vocals, snares, and basically anything you throw at it. its extremely durable and rugged and can withstand the beatings of the road. its basically hella badass for a 100 dollar dynamic mic. yet for a 100 dollar mic, every recording studio regardless of genre will have 6 of these laying around. they're that good.

Literally the single most useful microphone ever produced. You can throw this mic in front of anything and it will work for years. If it had not been manufactured, every live sound engineer's life would be living hell
