It's a benefit for flexibility, allowing you to choose a compatible wireless system; however, it does require a separate MicroDot transmitter.
It's not ideal for extremely loud or dynamic sources like drums without careful gain staging, and its cardoid pattern can be restrictive in some group vocal situations.
