Questions & Answers

A length of 6 ft is included with the Does a 1-inch cord exist?

I have a total length of about 20' in the box.

Is there a specific item I need to use in order to record my voice to my computer using a 1/4 TS jack?

The Behringer U-202 has been my faithful companion for years The PHORIA UM2 USB Audio Interface is a 2x2 USB audio interface. While other products are available, this one is reasonable and performs

Which microphone type is this? Is it a high- or a low-impedance one?

This device has low impedance, however, I use it with an audio interface to correct any issues I have with the sound source.

Can this be used with a guitar amplifier?

The answer is definitely yes. There is no need to do anything but plug it into the same port you would plug in your guitar. In case you wish to connect this to more professional types of amplifiers and microphone amplifiers, you can also purchase an XLR to XLR cable.

My SM will be put to the test There is no time limit on when you can call 58

5/5

Honestly, I was under the impression it would be an absolute nightmare based on the price. I was totally I'm a serious musician, a member of a band, play out a lot, etc. I even have a YouTube channel. A week before the pandemic lockdown happened, I left most of my live rig at the gig space, but I also wanted to try playing on Facebook live, so I said sure, for 20 bucks, I'll give it a shot and not risk my life going out. You should check it out. It has superb clarity, it is just as clear and crisp as my SM58, and the same settings as the SM58 do not give feedback. I On the contrary, I like the grill on the 58 better, but what are we going to do at this price?
the worst you can do is to purchase one as a back-up. The bag is solid, heavy, and I like the way it looks. A big thanks to Amazon!.

An excellent value for such a high-quality product

5/5

Djing small parties and singing karaoke are a few of the primary uses for this mic. There is a solid base, good sound, and the cord is long enough to reach to any place in the house. We have dropped it three times on tile flooring and so far, it has not damaged any part. Purchased again. It was a good purchase.

I really like the price! He does a good job

5/5

I'm feeling good - I am not a professional sound engineer or musician, but just as a data point, I compared this mic to the Focusrite Scarlett Studio C25 MKIII microphone, and the only difference is that the CM25 might be a touch more sensitive. However, the two microphones I mention (MKIII and AB are different types of mics MKIII is a condenser, AB is a dynamic), so it is unlikely to be an apples-to-apples comparison. Comparison of apples to apples. After when I heard how it performs I decided I would keep it. I had bought it as a sacrificial mic (if the kids drop it during karaoke, I don't have to worry about it), but now it definitely qualifies! It's a good performer in my opinion. One caution I have to point out, however, is that I have to turn my Scarlett USB interface gain all the way up for it to work correctly. If you're going to actually record anything, I recommend you use the AmazonBasics XLR cable rather than the unbalanced cable that's included. The buzz is less and the gains are greater.

It is a great value for the money! The Amazon branded microphone worked perfectly, was reasonable in pricing and extremely good in quality, and was more than sufficient in length

5/5

I was delighted to find the mic cord was 25 feet long. This mic is great for DJ streaming, along with the stand shown in the included picture. It clamps right onto any flat surface and is highly recommended if you want a decent mic.

Due to an error on my part, I had to return the Despite the complexity of the situation, it was handled with ease

5/5

It was so smooth to get a refund. A week was enough time to complete all of this. The impression I got was impressive. ***Bette ***.

The Shure is better for performance, but the best practice microphone is the Blue Yeti

3/5

The build is nice and heavy. Despite having a high gain preset, the sound is pitch-perfect. This could be because of the amp it was connected to. It is nice to use, but has quite a bit of squawking at higher levels, when connected to a more powerful amplifier.

This microphone is excellent for the price

5/5

It's a great buy for the price. When the EQ and audio equipment are set up correctly, this thing will sound amazing. This microphone does not have a built-in pop filter, which is not the best for a studio setting, but is fine for use on stage (this is not the best type of studio microphone). An excellent microphone is built into the device. It is still not as good as the SE V7 or an SM58, but it is a great backup The mic stands up and can be easily tossed into a podcast rig or mic bag on a budget.
