Panther spots it immediately on a G4 or G5. It has the converter built into a sufficiently long cable for lab use. It also sports and in-cable volume with mute. It sounds good and records well. I haven't mangae to break it in two weeks so it's reasonlably sturdy. The boom is somewhat flexible yet seems solid enough for lab use. I'll have to give that more time and there's always the vandal factor to consider but, all said and done, I will be ordering a few more to put out in the lab for more extensive field abuse (testing). Cost is around $63.00 each. MVK Michael V. Kramizeh Language Laboratory Manager Language Learning Center Michigan State University Rm. 131 Old Horticulture Bldg.
