    Hi. Is this mic appropriate for a lectern on stage? I've bought one that was a little cheaper and you had to lean in very close for it to pick up and the quality was bad.

    I would like to purchase the omnidirectional element to upgrade this microphone. I have already purchased this microphone and did not know this element was an option. Randy
