The xvive u3 receiver was connected to my Marshall acoustic amp, while the transmitter was connected to my Shure microphone. It's fantastic! I am overjoyed!
The cable is broken, but it is still in the same package.
Selected User Reviews For Shure PGA48-QTR Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone with 15' XLR-QTR Cable, 5.00 x 10.00 x 3.50
I've had a few no-name mics and didn't realize how much I was missing out on until I held one of these in my hands. This is a fantastic microphone. It has a professional sound to it and sounds crystal clear. Don't believe the reviews that say it makes noise when you use it. To be honest, it's hardly noticeable. Buying one of the high-end Shure mics was out of the question for me because I bought the PGA 48 just to karaoke at home. This one is ideal for my household. I got it with an XLR to 1/4 jack adapter. This is a direct plug-in for my Sony MHC-XXXXXXXXXXXXX V71 is a loudspeaker with a lot of power. What an unusual pairing! Unless you're a pro recording in a studio, trust me when I say that this one is ideal for you. It also includes a cool Shure sticker as a bonus. I only wish the storage pouch was a little bigger so that the mic cable could fit in there as well. Who in their right mind would want to keep the microphone and cable separate? br>br>I included images of the user guide so that you could see the entire package. br>br>I hope this was of use to you!.
This was purchased because I wanted to set up a home karaoke system on a semi-permanent basis. Without sacrificing too much quality, a low-budget project is possible. br>br>I'm not familiar with what high-level executives do. I don't know what high-end (expensive) microphones sound like, but I do know what crappy microphones sound like; I'm talking about the kind you'd find in typical Korean karaoke bars. br>br>If you have a good singing voice (but aren't going to win American Idol anytime soon), you're probably looking for mics that will accurately reproduce your voice without breaking the bank. This microphone, in my opinion, meets those requirements admirably. When I sing through it, I get the impression that it is an accurate (to my ears) representation of my voice, and it is enjoyable to listen to. I'm not so sure about lower-cost, lower-quality products. mics of high quality br>br>I also chose a wired microphone over a cheap wireless mic because I reasoned that more of the money spent on the mic was spent on making it sound good rather than making it work wirelessly. br>br>The mic has a sleek, professional appearance and a solid, hefty feel to it. When I first saw it out of the box, I thought it was really short/tiny, but once you connect the cable, it looks more like a normal-sized device. mic of a reasonable size It also comes with an on/off switch. br>br> This is an important feature if you're going to use a microphone for karaoke. (For live performances, there are actually good reasons to buy a mic without an on/off version; Google it. )br>br>Also, there are two versions of this product that come with a cable: There are two types of connectors: XLR and 1/4" (QTR). I strongly advise that you determine the type of input jack you have to avoid the hassle of having to replace it.

I own shure mics that cost between $150 and $200, and this model sounds just as good.

This essentially allows you to plug a low-impedance device (a microphone) into a high-impedance input (an amplifier). I've included a link to a fantastic one: XLR- This is superior to QTR cable in terms of performance. You must choose the XLR-type connector. To use this transformer, you will need an XLR cable. br>br>You will not be disappointed in your purchase of this microphone! Neither of these items were given to me for free or at a reduced price. br>br>Recent changes: br>br> I've progressed as a musician in the last two years. I can already tell that this does not sound as good as the SM58, which is more expensive. However, I like to keep this microphone on hand because it's a good backup, and you can also give it to the kids to keep them away from your more expensive gear. This microphone will suffice if you only need to use it a few times, such as at a karaoke party. If you're a musician, I'd recommend the SM58 or its younger sibling, the SM48 (though I've never held one in my hands; make your own informed decision).
I recorded with it twice, in the same room, with the same mic cable, and on the same laptop. The first recording of a marimba was fine; it could be used for homework but not for a final project; the second time, I tried recording spoken word and then a frame drum - Both clips were unusable due to excessive noise. I returned it and will return it when I am able to afford the 58, as I should have done in the first place.
The situation with this microphone is as follows: It's from Shure, which means it's made of high-quality materials and has an excellent build quality. However, it has HORRIBLE handling noise, and the built-in windscreen/pop filter is ineffective; voices are clear and pure, but there is a static-like quality to them. airy- There's a faint hum going on in the background, which is quite irritating (at least to me). I bought this microphone for street interviews, but I can't use it because of the handling noise; I'm not sure what I'll do with it; perhaps I'll use it in the studio on a stand. Whatever you do, use an additional windscreen/pop guard, and this is not a good microphone for situations where you have to hold it in your hand. I love Shure and they will always be my #1 mic source, but no one can produce a quality microphone for under $100. I do not recommend it, and I am dissatisfied with it.
