The compact size and placement just in front of the ear make this microphone particularly well-suited for intimate theater and broadcast applications, or any use where low mic visibility is a key factor.

The omnidirectional pickup pattern provides a generous and forgiving pickup area around the perimeter of the capsule, while the stainless steel construction stands up to daily use, makeup, and sweat. The mic also comes with 3 different interchangeable caps that let you choose between a flat, bright, or very bright frequency response.

Q: 1. Will the microphone distort with a loud singer?

A: The MX153 is intended for use in speech applications; as such it would not have the same tailored frequency response nor the same SPL rating as a condenser element built for vocals. While, depending on the singer and gain settings of the connected equipment, this model might suffice, however some more ideal headset options for vocalists would include the Shure Beta54, Beta53, SM35 or WH20XLR, with the Countryman E6 being the highest quality option available in a similar formfactor and with similar color options.
