PRA 628 MKII : Great Mic for the money

10 years ago

I've been using SM57s as Amp mics for many years and was pretty happy with the sound. But they're over £100 each and when you're on a budget, something has to give...

The Superlux mic is a cracking little unit and is supplied with a quality clip etc. that makes usage and angle very easy.

The build quality is sound and the directional nature of pick-up works as well as mics at 5 x the price.

I'm delighted with it and use it regularly to run our lead guitarists Gibson/Marshall through the PA (to try and take a little control!) Even when he is turning the Marhsall up to 11, this little mic does a solid job of reproducing the sound through the front of house speakers.

It doesn't have the broad capabilities of mic'ing acoustic instruments like a SM57 or similar, but then you're not paying the premium for that. Stick to mic'ing amps and this little mic won't see you too far wrong.
