I've been using Samson CM20 for quite sometime in our church and bought two more because it performs very well for the money. There are pro's and con's as with all products. Built quality is excellent but I wish the foam head for the mic is more tighter in fitting. It can get lost easily as it slips off very easily. The low end frequency response seems low and thats what meant to be for a podium mic. Would have been better with a low-cut filter but then thats asking too much for its price. The high mid frequency is little emphasized also confirmed by the frequency response chart. With little EQ it gives a very excellent sound. I wish there is a longer body version too. There are more expensive mic from Shure, Sennheiser but for the money it is bang for the buck.
