PRA D1 : What can be wrong for this price

9 years ago

So for 23¤ or about 20 quid depending on the state of Brexit, you get a lot of mic for your money.

A nice plastic case with padding to keep it safe. A 'budget' microphone with no switch (hurray ---- from experience as these are the first to break and cause you to warm up the soldering iron) and a microphone clip. These mics have very sturdy casings and look like they could easily take a few drops here and there.

Tried it side-to-side with my SM58 and there was a tad difference but nothing which jumped out at me. For band starting out to have a few general purpose microphone for miking amps or for vocals these are great and won't break the bank.

I bought a couple originally for my local school to replace their mics and based on playing around with them, I bought a couple more for the studio for 'back-pocket' spares, which at this price you cannot go wrong.

Highly recommended.
