[Harp-L] Re: mic(s) questions

[Ray Beltran <raybeltran@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bert-
Well, you've shed light on a subject I've been wanting to post for  
some time now. I have mics that are very similar to those you've put  
up on the web, but minus the logo and with a much thinner brown cord.

It's been a while, but as I recall, when I pulled the top off the mic  
(it's a very tight press fit), there was a small dynamic element in  
my example. I have used it with my ElectoHarmonix Freedom amp. Strong  
output, rejects feedback better than most, and I love that sleek  
chrome finish. Looking to sell mine soon, as I have too much gear.

Don't have much more than that. Wish I could help you more.

Ray.
