[Bit 1]
So I used to work at Guitar Center,
and I worked in the pro audio department,
so I sold microphones.
And we had everything from top of the line, $1,000
for one microphone all the way down to the bottom
of the barrel.
And we had a set that had two microphones in it for $50.
cheap plastic toy, no professional will ever use it.
Just parents would come in and buy it for the kids
and do karaoke in the living room.
So anyways, one day this lady comes in,
she walks into the apartment and she goes,
excuse me sir, can you tell me where to find
the wireless microphones?
And I said, yes ma'am, if you look over here,
you got the Shure SM58, that's where you're starting
for quality, going up from there,
anything below that, garbage.
She said, I'm sorry, this might be out of my price range.
I didn't realize they were so expensive.
And I said, well, ma'am, if you look down here,
for $50, you could get two.
