Probably like Baufong radios, rip-offs of someone else's product. No,
I've never heard of it. A story.
A colleague in pro audio, excellent engineer, designer of sound systems
in the US Senate, House, and White House, wanted to do a good deed for
rock and roll churches who used a lot of mics. He imported mics from a
company in China. Samples were great, so he placed an order. Production
quality was VERY different. Like Baufong, we're talking $40-$60 for mics
competing with EU mics that sell for $1,000 - $1,500.
Quality companies like Shure and Switchcraft have long huge problems
with counterfeits of their products, and counterfeit mechanical and
structural parts have long been a problem for manufacturers. I remember
reading about that in the aircraft industry more than a decade ago.

There is a (presumably Chinese) mic known as the BM800 which is marketed
under several different names. I am currently using one on a boom with
shock mount, wind screen and foot switch just because I like hands-free

equivalent.
Are you familiar with this mic, and what are your thoughts? I get excellent
reports with it on my (non-Elecraft) rig.
