I like the quick-release design of the microphone clip, but it is proprietary and would probably become annoying if their special mount gets lost or broken. Also, the manual is mostly advertisements for their other microphones. The section on the Stealth is only four of the 20 pages. CONCLUSION If there is any problem with our methodology, I think it is the fact that the students are less experienced than professionals, and also that they are not used to a brighter microphone for vocals. Most students want a colored, studio sound. My personal ratings would put the microphone significantly higher than the students' ratings. Although the Stealth placed last, there are many reasons to consider the microphone. This microphone is a bargain. It also fills a market for people who want a more realistic sound out of the microphone. The RE20 and SM7B are both colored for low-frequency response, which is why DJ's are fond of them. If you want better upper-mid-range in your vocals, this would be my first choice of the four. It is an excellent studio microphone and would also work great in live situations where the microphone is not handheld. THANKS Thanks to our studio manager, Scott R. Burgess, our performers Bonnie Clarisse Utter and Dylan Kober, our main student engineer for the session, Alexander Allred, and our student second engineers, Beau Bilinski, Jake Greenspan, and Spencer Short. They all came in the Friday afternoon before a holiday weekend to help complete the recording session! • THE MICROPHONE AUTOMATICALLY DETECTS IF YOU ARE SENDING 48 V POWER AND TURNS ON [ITS BUILT-IN INTERNAL MIC] PREAMP.
