The JTS TK-280 dynamic cardioid live microphone, equipped with the most popular capsule, provides excellent performance for lead and backup vocals, and instrument miking at a moderate price and is comparable in sound quality to many microphones costing much more. The magnetic reed type On/Off switch provides silent switching and can also be placed into a locked position to prevent accidental or unwanted tampering. The internal pneumatic shock mount system assures low handling noise whether used in a handheld application or when placed on a microphone stand.
