microphones

Its Too good to be true!

Having just read the one about the guy who bought a fake shure sm58, i have worked in the music retail business for many years, and because i know some of these products are less than Trade VAT price, it seems quite obvious to me that there is something not quite right. Before purchasing a microphone, check the web prices with established music retailers, anything more than a couple of quid cheaper and you are probably looking at a fake. profit margins on genuine mics are quite low, so if its really cheap, it probably is not the real thing.
