PRA-383D XLR : Very good microphone with some handling problems

I bought this microphone because a befriended trumpet player recommended it to me, and I have to say that I do not regret this purchase at all.

I wanted a microphone that is dependable when playing live and provides a good sound.

Features:

It comes with a condenser microphone, a mini-XLR cable and a battery supply. So if you want to plug it into a PA, you have to buy a XLR cable.

For me the cable is long enough so that i have no troubles when changing instruments, even when it gets hectic.

Sound:

I did not expect very much from such an inexpensive microphone, but it totally blew me away! The sound is more than good, very brilliant, but nevertheless with a good punch in the low register. I use it for saxophones, and it can absolutely take on my Shure Beta 98 H/C, which is about five times the price of the superlux.

Quality:

Nothing to nag here. Totally does what it is supposed to, i had no trouble at all. I think here you can see the "ideal" - the AudioTechnica ATM35, which is of the same quality.

In conclusion I can say: If you want a very good microphone to a very good price, get the Superlux PRA-383D!
