PRA D1 : Backing Vocals Mic

6 years ago

This is a decent and super durable mic for vocals. Works OK and is usable in reheasersal/stage/recording a demo. I had a look inside, and I bet if you throw it down a few times it will be just fine. It will be great for usual applications. High volume or for a lead singer, rather not.

It's not even close to famous mics of a higher caliber, so don't expect too much. The sound is useable, but needs some minor processing to be acceptable. I wouldn't be surprised if there is variation in the sound from piece to piece though.

A weakness of this mic is that the volume output will be dramatically different with the smallest changes in distance when using the mic at typical distance for vocals. It's a typcial problem of cheaper dynamic mics. Good dynamic mics handle that way better.

Rejection of sound outside the pattern and at distance works fairly good. In a rock band setting it will be a challenge to avoid feedback getting a useable volume over monitoring.
