Shure SM35 TQG

Solid build, Great noise cancelling, and neat and clear sound

I mostly deliver lectures online everyday, and I've been hunting for a solid mic that delivers clarity, noise cancelling with ease of use. This mic is what I was looking for. This mic is comfortable although a bit heavy due to the solid metal case around the head-mic. I've bought this item twice for spare, and because I'm very happy with it.

I use this together with the GoXLR. Before buying, remember that you need the "Shure RPM 626 adaptor" if you plan to feed the mic from a mixer with standard XLR input.

Excellent sound and feedback resistance

I use this in a Theatre where we have a live band accompanying performers on stage. I do backing vocals and play guitar whilst sitting in the orchestra pit. The mic allows movement of the head while reading sheet music, without moving the mouth away from a boom mounted mic.

The only con, is that this is a bulky mic in comparison to lightweight unobtrusive head mics, but this was the best value and performance I could find that was not omni-directional.

The big pro is the cardioid polar pattern and resistance to feedback.

Very reliable good quality microphone. Is a bit quiet compared to a line microphone but that is not a problem as you can adjust the volume on the allocated channel/amp.
