Man...our church just bought 3 of those things. The praise band/orchestra is right in front of the choir....the sound of our instruments (read guitar & bass amps) were being picked up by the choir mics even though they were pointed away from us (the band) and with a cardiod pattern....so they went out and bought 3 of these. Ours look like some sort of microwave transmission antenna from our side. We just got them last week so the jury is still out if they will work like they hope. If I hear they are a success, I'll come back here and post the results.

I agree --- I used to work as a wire hanger for my summer job when I was in college. It didn't pay much, but I enjoyed working with the other wire hangers. Funny guys! We would even hang out together after hanging wires all day, especially on Friday nights when we'd really "hang one on." Never even got hangovers the next day for some reason ---Ern
