Guy - I wouldn't choose a mic for feedback resistance as the primary  
criteria. There is a huge range of mics available. They don't vary  
THAT much in feedback resistance. What matters is whether the element  
in the mic gives you the tone you want. I don't know front and center,  
but it says they use a "NOS Vintage Crystal" without naming it - I  
think this is a big red flag. Some crystals, like the ones Hohner put  
in the Blues Blaster after they ran out of Astatic MC-151's, sound  
awful. Might be feedback resistant but who cares?
I find it interesting that they've basically taken all my sales points  
and the way I present and option my mics, and done the same thing. I'm  
honored.

Subject: [Harp-L] Front and Center Mics

Can anyone offer their experience with *Front and Center Mics*?   
They appear

to be highly feedback resistant.
