Great Buy
I chose to go used for this microphone because new are expensive and I'm on a budget! I needed a mic to pic up my ukulele. You do have to be relatively close to the mic and I'm still working on placing it correctly as I use with my voice mic. Due to my own ignorance, I didn't realize the mic needed phantom power and thought it was broke at first, but then I researched it a little more and fixed the problem. I'm very happy with my purchase and would recommend the Shure SM81.
