Shure Vagabond PE52 Microphone

Your Shure Close-Talking Microphone is probably dif-ferent from any other microphone you have ever used. Unlikemost uni- and omnidirectional microphones, the PE52 is de-signed for extremely close operation at 1/2 to 2 1/2 cm( 1/4 to 1 in.) from the performer under conditions of very high soundlevels. When properly used, the microphone will provide high-quality vocal sound while canceling distant sounds such as high-power musical instruments, stage monitor speakers, enthusiastic audiences, or other background noise. The result is clear, distinct vocal reproduction with minimal pickup of instruments, monitors or audience, even when the performer cannot hear himself! Also, because the microphone is inherently directional and discriminates against unwanted sounds arriving from a distancein favor of sounds arriving from a near source, it helps control acoustic feedback (that very annoying loudspeaker screech or howl).
