I feel Jim's choice of the term "poor" is correct, but in a monetary sense.

Yes, you may be able to get the mike to communications quality with racks of
audio processing equipment etc.,
but you will probably spend more for all that when you add the cost of the
mike, than radio costs by itself.

Seem a tad wasteful to me when the radio already has a good EQ and a mike
costing a fraction of the fancy "studio" mike will sound the same on the
other end of the QSO.

I don't under the fascination (or logic?) of using a wide response and
expensive microphone just to narrow it down to 300 to 2800 Hz, unless you're
H3LL bent on putting out a 10 kHz wide VOA grade signal that is frankly,
illegal anyway.

Yeah, yeah I know,  you're voice is "different" and you need all that stuff
to make it sound "right".
If that's what you want, then by all means go for it.
It's the same logic as using your (insert $200k car) to make daily commuter
runs mostly stuck in traffic.
