What it is rented for

Shure recommends it for miking guitar and bass amps, saxophone, trumpet and drums, both live and in the studio. Its cardioid pattern focuses on the main sound source and reduces pickup of background noise and acoustic feedback. It has also been used on vocals and on lecterns for speeches. It suits concerts, festivals, rehearsals, recording sessions and corporate events with a lectern. If you need support, our catalogue also lists K&S mic stands; ask what is included when you request a quote.
