5.0 out of 5 stars Great gift for a Vocalist, July 2, 2010

This review is from: Audio Technica AE5400 Handheld Condenser Microphone

I purchased this microphone as a gift to a very talented Vocalist. I looked at many brands and models. After giving this microphone, I received several demo tapes on which it was used. Amazing! What a difference over the 58 wired and wireless he was using. One big attraction is the ability to use the microphone in either flat or low roll off modes. This extends the utility dramatically. I'm glad I went this way.
