WH5 : Fun that works...in some applications..

9 years ago

This looks great and sounds a better than you might expect at the price...which seems to true of Superlux in general...

As other reviewers have pointed out its heavy and keeping in period it needs a straight stand with a heavy round base to use with confidence...the little desktop that comes with it works great...on a desk...

I mistrust on/off switches.....but so far so good but thats with limited use..

Maybe its because the capsule is a bit far back from the monster 1940's looking grille or because its less unidirectional than "normal" mikes but it does need more level on the desk and is more prone to feedback...and an aggressive vocalist could probably loose teeth..so not really a practical proposition for most applications...but it looks so good its a keeper!
