What can I say. Good looks and great sound. Seems to work well on a situation with vocals and harmonica holder. It is easy to control the volume and proximity effect in live situation. I have also the Shure SH55 Series II, but this is far superior. Some say you can get better sounding mic for less money, but sometimes the looks are also important. Haven't tried this in my studio, but I bet it'll work fine in many situations.
