Superlux PRA 628 MKII 4-stars Reviews

OK

Got usable output from this. Not in love with it but ok once Eq is correct

Good budget amp mic

I used to D. I for my previous amp and upgraded to a fender Deville,,, I purchased this as it was cheap and cheerful... It carries the sound as it should, works a treat. Its basic, does a good job..bod and connection sharf became loose after a couple of years basically due to the tight fit of the mic holder, which is the weakest link of the package. The supplied mic holder broke in a few places, I just loop the cable around the amp handle and hang the unit, works fine. Still going after over 6 years.

Heavy duty and sound great!

I use these in my live rig for close micing guitar cabs. They have survived for 6 years and have always been hung from the XLR ( I know, Bad habit) But these little puppies haven't died on me once!

Not an e906 but close enough

The 628 clearly tries to copy the Sennheiser e906. The physical design is very close meaning the application of letting it hang over the side of the amp/cabinet is still very much possible.

Soundwise it is not as clear as the 906. But it does come close and at around a fourth of the price, it is great value. At some point I will get the 906 though.

Using this for 7 years

I bought this mic when I was starting out on recordings and i still use it these days to record the bottom part of the snare and distorted guitar cabs. Sometimes I use it on drummer vocals because the pickup pattern rejects the back of it very well.

The sound is great for the price, even better than some 100£+ mics, better than sm57 in my opinion.

The only con is that the front grill is glued and over time it will fall off. You'll just need to glue it again.

Great mic to hang over a guitar amp, reliable and ready to go with very little room bleed at the right setup

front not firmly connected

If you tap the front accidentally against something else, it can fall of the mike.

Good sound, good size

Didi 4 gigs with this microphone, had no issues, guitar sound came through the microphone just as expected.

Size also allows the microphone to be set up slightly more compact, compared to a sm58 setup for example.

Reccommend strongly to anyone staring a home studio / small rehearsal space / gig venue.

bought as experiment

Good microphone, sounds ok, but the holder went to pieces very soon, needed to replace it with other holder.

But the mike itself, within its price range is very OK

Looks and works great.

This mic makes an amazing sound for a dynamic microphone that costs less than 50 euros.

It looks so good on the amp/combo and works just fine on the snare drum as well. It's also a space saver because you don't need a mic stand, you can make it "fall" in front of the speaker.

If you what to put this mic on a mic stand you will need a clamp, the mic it's to thin for the average mic stands.

When recording, it captures the speaker sound (almost) without any noise or buzzing.

For its prize and sound, it is a great mic!

Great Low Profile Mic

Great alternative to the Sennheiser equivalent - have used for loads of live shows and it's great when you don't have room for a small mic stand or just to clean the look of the stage up!

Well built and fairly rugged too!

Good microphone, but the mount doesn't fit

This microphone is a quite good microphone for the price. I use it to mic my amp for practice and smaller gigs. So far it gets its job done as it should. My only complaint is that the mount that came with it does not fit the microphone completely and seems that it will fall apart soon.

Good Budget Mic

Bought the Superlux PRA 628 MKII for micing up my guitar amp for recording into a Zoom H5 at live gigs - good, solid, mic construction is nice and robust. Am happy with the sound - good value for money mic.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
