What makes it different from something like an SM58?
Just to name a few...

Instead, the first thing that someone asks is "where is it made," like it's some kind of interrogation, like the spotlight is on me. Well, I'm not going to say where it is made. Not because we have something to hide, but because I'm tired of being asked the same question. So, I have decided I'm not going to answer that question about any of our mics. If someone really wants to know, call me up or send me an email. I'll gladly get back to you.

Now, does anyone have any other questions?

If potential customers keep asking you the same question and you don't have anything to hide...why don't you just post the info on your website so that you will no longer have to answer the question? It seems like a extremely valid question to alot of your potential customers or else they wouldnt be asking it all the time. The above statement is bad PR in my book. I think most people would agree that they have the right to know where a product they want to purchase is being made.
