The Prologue 16L is a low impedance microphone with a frequency response extending from 50Hz to 15kHz. It can handle sound pressure levels up to 120dB and is a reasonably quiet microphone with a signal to noise ratio of 48dB. It is a bright sounding microphone and I think Shure made the right decision by mainly cost cutting in its construction rather than its performance. When tested side by side with other well known condenser microphones, the 16L certainly did not give the impression of being particularly inferior — despite its price tag being a tenth of the price.
These new condenser microphones are well up to Shure’s high standard. The budget priced Prologue 16L would be a good choice for use in the smaller home studios as it is a very clear sounding mike at a very affordable price.
This is a used mic that looks unused! Still in the box with all the goodies.
