I am always looking for a bargain. It is the only way I can afford this crazy expensive hobby called theatre. So, I wanted to share this tid bit with the gang. The choir group I work with never has enough mic's (lots of pack's but no mics...Hmmm). I stumbled across these guys (thanks Gerard) microphonemadness.com . They have a Countryman Clone for a really low cost. I was skeptical, but I bought a couple and tried them out.
I was really impressed.
These are certainly good value for your dollar. Nice fullrange of pick up (i did have to tone down the hi's a bit and boost the lows for a fuller sound). Minimal mic pop. Small footprint (not as small as some, but easily hidden). The double earset shapes well & they held up well to the use by active HS kids in a heavy song and dance show. They'll make them for whatever style body pack you have. And for the price, you can afford to replace them every couple of years.
I was so impressed, I ended up buying 8.
Just thought I would share. Here's the exact model I purchased (in black)
