As far as performance goes, the Carvin mics are as good as any I have used. They are great as far as feedback is concerned and I have never ever had a drop out. I had one customer take one all the way out the front door one time, which is around a corner wall, and it still reproduced perfectly. They have little to no handling noise as well. The battery replacement is a bit cumbersome on the 16, as you have to remove the head to get to the ejectable battery pack. The 1000 is quality all the way, but I don't like paying $350 for a customer used mic any longer so I just use it myself and let a few people that know what they are doing use it.
Another issue with the Carvin mics is they do not sell replacement parts.
