AKG Pro Audio CM311 AESH Shure Head-Worn Condenser Microphone for Professional Audio Applications

Anthony Nalli: Great audio quality, hands down. But I've broken the thin, fragile plastic ring around the mic capsule 3 times. Sure, it's apparent that I need to be more careful, but all it takes is some metal reinforcement and it won't be a problem.

NorbCam: Been playing keys and singing vocals in dance cover band for last 3 years. Was using a Line 6 which was ok, but often distorted and had a flat sound to it. The AKG is that exact opposite. Clear full sound, no distortion. Only minor complaint is that the mic tends to drop down whenever I'm jumping around, so u really have to crank on the tension knob to keep it in place.

MrMediaGuy: I really wanted to love this mic, I really did. And in fact, I can't argue with the microphone element itself -- it really has the most amazing off-axis rejection you will see on any headworn mic, bar none. I can literally stand three feet from our drummer facing him and the loudest drum sounds registers maybe -24 dB when my vocal is at -3 dB. Amazing frequency response and color, too.

Unfortunately, there is more to the mic than the element -- there is also the contraption that holds it on your head, and that's where Crown has supplied cheap junk. This is like taking a Lamborghini and outfitting it with the cheapest re-tread tires you can find -- almost a sin. My problem? The mic stayed in its box for about six weeks from the time I received it because we didn't have any rehearsals or gigs scheduled during Oct/Nov. The FIRST time I used it at a rehearsal, the cheap plastic "clutch" you tighten to hold the boom in place disintegrated into a tiny mound of plastic shards, leaving no way to tighten or position the boom.

Still waiting to hear from Crown on how they will "repair" it. If I could send it back to Amazon, I would -- but naturally did not keep the outer...

S. Scheifley: This microphone is great for singing drummers. I prefer this over using stand mikes which always seem to get in the way. The sound is great, and it's not too expensive either. I will say that this particular model was made in China. I've had this since April 2010, and it's holding up okay. Keeping my fingers crossed!
