Frequently Asked Questions

The VP 89M has a slightly more forward and detailed sound, while the CS500 tends to be a bit more neutral and smooth. Both are excellent, but the Shure leans towards clarity and presence.
It takes a little getting used to, but the mace provides a surprising amount of flexibility for mounting on goosenecks or other fixtures. It’s far more stable than some other mic mounting solutions.
While designed for live applications, the VP 89M’s clarity and detail make it usable for studio vocals, especially for spoken word or performances where a focused, less colored sound is desired.
