Man this thing is Soviet Era rugged and handmade. You can seriously crank the headphones, too. Make it bump. Cats in boots! ooontz ooontz ooontz ooontz mike

Not sure how anyone can do field recording without these jewels. From hanging my boom cord to my headphones and extra cables, these are rugged and extremely helpful!

These boxes seem expensive, UNTIL a) You compare them to the opposition and b) You actually use them. I've used many similar products over my forty-odd years as a (mostly live) Sound Supervisor/Audio Director. Most need to be fed batteries and are nowhere near as rugged. Given the pressures that attend live announcing, I also feel that those which feature the option of radical changes to control functions via dip-switches invite catastrophic contributions from unseen fingers. Whirlwind's one bulletproof box, one function philosophy sits really well with me. Sadly, they'd probably refuse to design one large enough to accommodate the in-laws... ...Still, there's no harm in dreaming... The PPD's brilliant blue on air LED doesn't require batteries when phantom powered mics are involved, yet the fact that dynamic mics prevent its illumination is (equally brilliantly) mitigated by the rocker switch's survival red indicator. This creates confidence as well as being (literally) foolproof. You'll have noticed that I've reported them to be not TOTALLY free of clicks. This is due to Whirlwind's technique of switching off by shorting both legs of the mic output, being pins 2 & 3. They do this to guarantee the maximum absence of noise from a line that's wending its way back to an open mic input. To my mind, these slight switching clicks from the Mi ute boxes only makes them unsuitable for the quietest of situations, such as (for example) a late night talk show, or when the mic in question is for hosting the broadcast of a fine music program, ...situations that are almost invariably operated from a console anyway. I can, however, unequivocally attest that (when it comes to providing P.A. systems for live events) I've found them to be the simplest, most rugged and most dependable method of protecting announcers from attacks of the dreaded foot in mouth disease.

Rugged design and not heavy at all. I believe this might be well used on any other application apart from mic stand. Unbeatable at a price

I have had this mic for a week now it's really really well built it feels like it will last a lifetime. Very rugged I will be shooting with it on many expeditions this year. It is a very warm sounding bassy mic... which I personally like... it's much warmer than say a Sanken lav the pickup pattern is pretty wide it's doesn't isolate as much as a Sennheiser 416... although for what I do Doc run and Gun style I utilize the wider pickup to my advantage. For the price point it really can't be beat... I used a NTG-2 before this... and I would say this upgrade is well worth the money. Bravo RODE.

Nice and sturdy for hanging headphones on mic and at a great price too!
