Review: Classical Guitar Microphone for a Christmas Concert - All's well with this condenser microphone. It has past the test for a good sound and sensitivity. I've used it on an audience for the first time on Christmas day and allowed another musician to use it also, so I was able to stand back and listen. I'm well pleased. It's a welcome addition to my limited but high quality sound system. (Classical Guitarist)
