Handheld cardioid condenser microphone
Simply put, the STC-5 is more sensitive than its dynamic counterparts and captures your voice in significantly more detail. The result is more akin to what you would expect to hear from a studio microphone, with very low handling noise and a very high signal-to-noise output.
The cardioid polar pattern helps reject sounds entering the capsule from the sides, which is essential for producing a clear 'picture' on stage and will forever endear you to the guys working behind the mixing desk. You may need to adapt your mic technique slightly to use the STC-5, simply because you have to work less to get the same result you're used to getting from your regular dynamic mic - at the end of the day this can't be a bad thing.
Located in the ergonomically molded body is a low-cut filter switch that will help reduce any stage rumble when the mic is on a stand. So if your bandmates are prone to jumping around on stage while you're trying to deliver a meaningful vocal, this little switch can save the day - if not your sanity!
The STC-5 comes with a microphone clamp and a sturdy ABS plastic bag.
