Sensitivity of these microphones are good & not feed backing so much to floor monitors, like other models mikes ( for egz. AKG D5, D7, D77 ...) . If You like to sing little bit far ,- it is not so sensitive to proximity , like other mikes (SM57 - 58). These microphones are good for solo & vocal background voices. For brass instruments (Trombone , Trumpet ) For drums (toms & snare), & guitar amp. Don't place microphone , to very near distance, at very loud sound source (kick or bass amp.) , because of sensitivity, to avoid distortion. What none of this model of microphone ... I think little bit bigger body noise, if You touch it hard. If you like to use for recording, this is better, than SM 57.
