Superlux PRA 628 MKII Reviews

Good enough

ive used this for a good few gigs now & it does the job fine .

The clip on arm works great on the handle of an amp & sound wise..its good , yes there is a difference between this & the expensive one that it looks like but in a live situation & going through a good desk EQ'd its pretty minimal & i wouldn't spend the extra having used both.

BIg

Good quality materials, thicker then E906 and bigger then you expected. The clamp is almost useless if you need speed in live situations. I purchased a AT8665 instead.

Awesome guitaramp mic!

What can i say... it's just great... sounds very nice.. almost like a sm57. You won't be disappointed if you like the sound of a sm57 with this mic.

And i also noticed that it doesn't feedback that fast. I oncs used it in a gig where the monitors where pretty close and my amp had to work a low volumes so the mic was set pretty loud.... worked great!

The only little con is... the clamp which comes free with the mic is kinda crappy quality...but who needs them right? ;) just hang the mic over the amp in front of the speaker and go!

Bargain sound quality

I'm really quite surprised at how good the PRA 628 MKII is when comparing it to the much more expensive Sennheiser e906. Nice clarity & not too muddy for bassier tones.

I've used this in the studio on a number of occasions and once live and I'm thoroughly impressed.

The build quality seems nice and solid and I haven't had any troubles with wiring etc yet.

This a very nice, low cost solution for a tidy guitar cab mic. Highly recommended at such a good price.

Swiss Knife Microphone

I'm using this microphone for live performances, I've taught guitar combos and speakers. Another area where I use is for trombone and basssax.

Great Value for a Great Sounding Mic

Use this on guitar. Always sounds great.

Can't fault this mic. Convenient & durable with a brilliant tone.

Starting microphone

This mic is smaller than it may seem, and that's great! Easy positioning, pretty accurate sound regarding crunch and rhytm guitar.

The included clamp with gooseneck is a bit stiff, but that's also a plus, once set it will not absolutely move.

Be careful when inserting or removing the mic from it's clamp, because I've had mine tear apart a couple of times, but it was easy to close back up. Maybe a little superglue wouldn't be a bad idea. But, for the price, it's really good quality all around.

Used mine alternatively with a Sennheiser 904 and nobody has spotted the difference. Says it all really. I'm not saying it's in the same league when ab'd but at a fraction of the price, it's a great alternative or backup.

The best microphone I tried to record the cabinet!

Cool no stand required

Just plugged in and went live, seems great. I've not done sound tests or comparisons. So nice to play my amp live instead of diing into PA. Can't go wrong at the price. The clip on holder has limitations depending on your amp, I just hang it from the handle in front of the speaker.

Useful guitar/drum microphone

This mic has a dark tone, which can be really quite useful in certain applications. For the cost, you really can do a lot worse. It will undoubtedly be compared to the Sennheiser e609, however, I'd have to say the sounds are worlds apart when used on high gain, top end present guitars.

I've also had good results using this microphone on certain snares. It's often worth a go whenever you have something that is a little too 'bright'.

Excellent value.

nice quality and sounds good. comes with an included gooseneck attachment and clip. very nice addition to what is already a very good value item.

Cheap and cheerful.

Superlux have this great ability to give you a cheap product that blow your expectations. This mic is built well, metal mesh and metal body, it feels well protected. The sound is phenomenal for the price of it. Clean, clear, no nasty noises or hiss. The only problem I have with it, is that I would have loved a case for it.

Good cheap moc

Used for live performances.

Mic is very versatile. Shape is great and it look cool in front of the amp. The little clap that comes with it is a nice touch and comes in handy. Cheap mic and works really well. I would maybe recommend a more expensive mic for studio recording but that's just because of a certain tone I like. Perfect little mic tho works well and seems reliable and well built . Recommed totally for this price very cheap

Excellent for the money

Used these for 3 years, I hang them on cabs, work perfectly and sound great. Good enough for small scale gigging and have used them for outdoor festivals with great results. One fell apart at the join but I just repaired the solder contact and struck it back together. No problems other than that. For the price, unbeatable.

Great for the Price

Yeah its not a sennheiser e906 but for the price it's really good

Great Value Microphone

I bought this microphone for recording purposes and also for miking my cab at gigs etc. during which it has performed with aplomb considering how much it costs.

I found it very balanced and neutral which gave the amp/cabs I used a chance to shine through without coloured like some mics can. It never got overpowered or distorted either. It's made as well as any of the Shure SM lines I've used, and is a solid item which is still looking great and performing well after a few years of use. Within its price range you'll find it hard to beat, and it also rivals some of the more pricey competitors.

A tremendous microphone and a bargain to boot, especially handy is the little bag the mic comes in and the clip to attach it to your cab or other things is also extremely useful. Its an absolute bargain!

Great alternative for Sennheiser

Great sounding microphone, the price is very nice, and it has a really great mic holder which I personally use on my combo handle, and it serve me well. However, once I missed i screw, as its loosen just from the vibration of a combo.

Great mic

This is a great mic for a cheap price

Great bang for your buck

I'm not a professional audio engineer and I'm not using it for professional recording, but for home and usage with a band or live, it seems great to me, for both, quality of audio and materials that looks good and seems rock solid.

The clip for holding it on the cab is really usefull and an appreciate bundle of this mic.

I can't say if its working range is the best, but from clean guitar tones, to really high gains, this mic seems to work perfectly.

It does not come with an XLR cable, and the only attention you need with this product is when you choose it (the cable I mean). This because the clip support that comes in the box, has a way to grab the mic, and a diameter not suitable with any cable. So as soon as you get your hand on the mic holder, you should measure that diameter, and then look for a right xlr cable, nothing weird, is still a standard diameter, but in my personal experience on 4 cables I already had at home, only one was right for this mic.

Last mention to the bag that comes in the box, that looks really of a good material and not a cheap one

Really suggested not only for entry level !
