I think that your first priority should be to determine what you are going to use this microphone for, that is to say if you are going to use this microphone for in studio production voiceover work it might not be the exact microphone that you should be looking for. According to the specs it is an excellent microphone for music and live concert work. The bottom line here is that electrovoice makes a number of microphones for various applications, and is widely used by broadcasters world wide. They are a little pricey, but that is to be expected for a professional microphone. There are less expensive microphones for home use that can do a fairly good job as well.
