I can't be positive from the photo, but it sure looks as if the performer would need binoculars to see his music from that distance.

It looks kind of like a peluso vtb, although the colour is normally silver.

yeah you may be right. There's something weird with the colours in the video so it could be just the camera.

Thanks a lot man, i'm looking up the mic now.

Cheers,

Joe

That is a Avantone BV-1 Microphone. Great sounding mics, too bad they stopped making them

The are bringing this mic back along with the new BV-12 which is a hybrid mix of the CV-12 and BV-1 together. Will retail for $799.

Here is a video of Glen Heffner breifly talking about it.
