[QUOTE="Eric Simna, post: 124979, member: 151"] Re: Microphone Madness Products I do lots of youth, college, and semi-pro musical theatre. I've purchased over 2 dozen of the PSM-L's in the past 3 years and am on a first name basis with Mike at MicrophoneMadness. Sound quality wise, no, they are not a B6, but at 1/3 the price, they are much better than 1/3 the sound quality. They are significantly better than any other head worn mic in the same price range. I tend to be in less than ideal situations, so the microphone is not where I would place blame. These are being used on the MiPro ACT7x series wireless. The biggest failure point I've had is at the connector just after the strain relief. Actors tend to not be as careful as I'd like with positioning. The wire will get pinched just outside the strain relief. That said, it takes SERIOUS abuse to cause this failure. They are relatively easy to repair. I bought a jewelers lamp to help when doing these repairs. They carry a nice warranty and Mike has repeatedly told me to just send units in for repair, but I'm handy with a soldering iron and I can solder faster than UPS can drive. Over time, sweat will build up in the element and change its response. I'm starting to see it with some of my oldest units. The oldest units probably have 18-24 3week runs on them. They've paid for themselves many times over. I own 16ch of wireless, and plan on expanding. The PSM-L will continue to be my choice of element as long as they are around and I'm not given a 6 figure budget. I wish I had some raw recordings to share. [/QUOTE]
