I've done a lot of singing since the {{PAGENAME}} arrived.

If you're a guitarist, you'll be familiar with the dent you get in your chest when you get your hands on an inspiring guitar and ~~just~~ can't put it down. Well, this beautiful microphone beckons you and inspires you to sing.

The singing through the {{PAGENAME}} is an odd nod to nostalgia and showmanship. Visually, There's nothing like it on a stage.

It has a lift in the upper midrange and details in the highs that comes close to sounding like a good condenser microphone. This also helps me to project, compete, and be heard in a busy stage mix.

As you should expect from a ~~super cardioid~~ microphone, you want to sing directly into it. However, if you read the instruction manual, there's a hint. When using the brilliance switch, sing over the microphone instead of directly into it. You can use it hand-held and not obstruct your face.

If you use Bose portable PA gear, you'll be happy to know this microphone works well with every version of the {{L1}}, ~~and~~ {{F1}} and even the {{S1 Pro}}, because being a dynamic microphone, it doesn't require phantom power. The [[{{PAGENAME}}#Roll-Off Filter|Roll-Off filter]] and [[{{PAGENAME}}#Brilliance Switch|Brilliance Switch]], give you exceptional control over your tone that you won't find in any other stage-worthy microphone.

In terms of gain-before-feedback, the {{PAGENAME}} is tied with the [[Sennheiser MD 441]] for the best feedback free experience I've had with the Bose {{L1}}.
