Good mic

Good mic for value. I use it for talk back.

One of the best at any price point

Can't believe how good this sounds. Recording and live, the clarity is exceptional.

Really well made and comes with a sturdy carry case.

Excellent option if you don't want to spend lots of money on an SM58.

Solid and a good sound

Sounds nice straight from the box and even better on my voice with a slight tweak in eq. I like the quality it has. For speech the mic works best 7-11 inches away and has good rejection at the back and sides. A relatively low output, you will have the gain on your mixer at maximum. It feels good in the hand with a extremely solid metal body. Quite prone to handling noise. I use a Superlux shock mount with a handle. In all a fantastic mic for the price.

My first mic

The build quality was better than I thought. I thought it was gonna be like plasticy but it wasn't. Feels very solid, and sounds very nice.

But still this is my first mic of this kind, I can't compare to anything else than my previous Razer Seiren and all I can say is this sounds a lot better.

You get a lot for your money

Sounds fine. Does what it says on the tin. Comes with a case and clip for your stand. No foam cover though.

Does a job

At times, the microphone can sound a bit dull with my voice. It isn’t a patch on my Sennheiser 935 or my TC Helicon mic, but it costs a lot less too.

I do sound tech work from time to time and I don’t want to give people my expensive personal microphones. I’ve had no complaints when they’ve used the PRA D1 and most people seem to find the sound similar to a Shure SM58.

I would 100% recommend this microphone as it is great value for money. I can’t imagine there is anything as good for the same price.

Backing Vocals Mic

This is a decent and super durable mic for vocals. Works OK and is usable in reheasersal/stage/recording a demo. I had a look inside, and I bet if you throw it down a few times it will be just fine. It will be great for usual applications. High volume or for a lead singer, rather not.

It's not even close to famous mics of a higher caliber, so don't expect too much. The sound is useable, but needs some minor processing to be acceptable. I wouldn't be surprised if there is variation in the sound from piece to piece though.

A weakness of this mic is that the volume output will be dramatically different with the smallest changes in distance when using the mic at typical distance for vocals. It's a typcial problem of cheaper dynamic mics. Good dynamic mics handle that way better.

Rejection of sound outside the pattern and at distance works fairly good. In a rock band setting it will be a challenge to avoid feedback getting a useable volume over monitoring.

Very good budget mic

I bought 3 of these to use in a studio environment,

with many hours of usage and heavy duty applications..

All I can say is that all of them are functioning after 3 years

and they sound amazing for the money..

If you're on a budget and you need something decent, this mic is for you..

Value for money

This microphone is very well built and It`s an amazing value for money microphone. Microphone comes along with a hard case easy to carry around anywhere while on the go.

It would be just perfect if the microphone had an on and off switch apart form that it`s just perfect.
