WH5 : Great looking, retro style mic

11 years ago

A VERY heavy retro style mic. Worth it for the looks alone. The sound is very good for the price and the mic is quite versatile with the three-way switch on the back for vox, instruments and drums.

That said, I do not use this in my live set ups as I prefer the lighter (and arguably even better sounding t.bone GM 55). Be aware you will need a very sturdy stand to mount this mic on and even then only vertical. Our keyboard player tried it on a boom mic stand but the weight was not practical.

I now use this mic mostly for vocals on our home karaoke set up and it's great. I have also used it with didgeridoo and it does a great job here too.
