PGA48 Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone with XLR Cable | Handheld cardioid vocal mic with on/off switch, 15-ft XLR-to-XLR cable, stand adapter and zipper pouch

I bought this specifically to use at home for my karaoke setup. It's a little setup that has brought us much fun since we started using it about 1.5 years ago. The karaoke setup has gotten more use due the pandemic, we still wanted to karaoke and the only place to do it was at home. I was using my computer mic (a Blue Yeti condenser mic) and sending the audio straight to a speaker just for the vocals (a Bose Rockin Roller Mini). It worked but I always had to worry about feedback, and it was still better than nothing. I decided I wanted to add some reverb to the karaoke nights and bought a tiny mixer (Behringer Xenyx 1202FX) and this microphone. There are some reviews that say there is noticeable handling noise, there is, I noticed it immediately upon testing. The other thing I noticed was that I was still getting feedback, the speaker I use does face directly to the singer, the mic, and its only placed about 5 feet away from the singer, so it wasn't a surprise to hear the feedback. After changing the settings on my mixer and lowering the mid adjustment knob, I was able to get the mic working with no noticeable feedback, effects, and good volume, minimal change on the handling noise. The handling noise goes unnoticed once the music starts and there is active singing. For my first cardioid mic for my home karaoke, I am completely satisfied with this purchase. I would recommend to others for home karaoke use, I would not recommend for professional use or even just speaking, with no background noise the handling noise is going to be noticeable. Would I buy again? Maybe, this thing is great for an introductory mic but I think I will spend a bit more next time and get the Shure SM58 to use as the main and downgrade this one to the backup singers mic. Maybe I'll change my mind after using this a few more times. If you are looking for a good budget friendly microphone for fun at home karaoke nights then I would highly recommend this. I would not recommend this for professional use or for those of you planning to use it for speaking only, the handling noise is too noticeable.

Let me start by saying - This mic is amazing! I've been looking around for a good but inexpensive mic for a while now and this is what I decided on. Pros: Great audio quality On/off switch Includes XLR cable Includes mic holder Price Sounds like an Sm58 Cons: It's a bit noisy when hold it your hand, but if you use a mic stand it's great. Doesn't come with dragon If you are planning to use this with a guitar amp you will need an impedance transformer. This basically allows your low impedance device (Microphone) to be able to be plugged into your high impedance input (Amp). I've linked a great one here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006NMUHW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The XLR-QTR cable will not give you the same great results as this will. You will need to select the XLR-XLR cable to be able to use this transformer. You won't regret buying this microphone! I did not receive either of these products for free or at a discount. Update: Two years later and I have developed as a musician. I can now tell that this does NOT sounds as good as the more expensive SM58. However, I still like to have this microphone around because it’s a good backup, but you can also give it to the little ones to keep their hands off of your more expensive gear. If you just need to use a microphone a few times for something like a karaoke party, this mic will work well; if you’re a musician, I’d go with the industry standard SM58, or possibly it’s younger brother the SM48(though i’ve never actually held this mic in my hand; make your own informed decision).

Solid microphone for a good price!

Paired with the right audio interface, this microphone sounds GREAT! If you're looking for a good cheap xlr mic I highly recommend this. It comes with a cute little carrying bag too for those who travel with equipment

I got this microphone to go with my Mackie audio mixer for the purpose of simultaneously recording my voice and game audio with stereo separation. The microphone works very well, but it doesn't seem to have an easy way to mount it to anything that's near floor level (in my case, about 24 inches (60 cm) above the ground). While there are microphone stands, nothing I've seen gets that low (I may have been looking at the wrong things though). Thus, I'd need some handyman type skills to build something that would work, a pair of pieces of metal with rotation points can be used, with a sort of rotating cone-shape part at the end for securing the microphone should allow for it to be mounted. My setup isn't really ideal, however, for voice recording, so I need to make some changes to my computer desk area and build stuff to make it work more optimally, such as pointing away from the background noise instead of toward it. It is a bit on the heavy side though so I do have to take that into account.

The quality you would expect from Sure! These were nearly half the price a local music store wanted.

This mic is a great value! Compared to other value-priced vocal mics, sound quality is good, perfect price, 15’long cord included. Very happy with this purchase.

Excelente elecccion

Funciona excelente, para vocalizar como para sonorizar algún instrumento

Instead of buying stupid microphone like blue snowball ice and other stuff that creates latency and can never be resolved, this mic can be brought. If u are looking for mic that record just your voice even in a noisy environment and has no latency when sing please buy this... And remember a soundcard like behringer is required to use this which costs additional 4k but its worth buying. Good mic but still condencer mic can be a better option when they are available for 1000k. Because this mic has bassy sound and dose not provide any additional crisp ness if u r a singer plz buy power Pak or wright mics I have used personally.

Great buy and sounds excellent. I hope I can make a good song to become famous with it! I use it endlessly and it never fails.

Shure sempre é excelência. Recomendo.

Good quality cheap Shure microphone. Being used for speech only at this time. Pretty good noise rejection. Nice sound quality.
