Superlux PRA D1 Reviews

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.

VFM mic

In first place i buy it because i need it to close an order without shipping. A mic with hard case at 20€ connected with xlr and it blow my head. Unbelievable sound . sounds like mics 100€ & more. Is close to se V8. I fully recommend it cause is my favorite

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.

Nothing to envy to the more expensive mic

It's a good mic, for that price you should give it a try.

It's a bit darker than the sm58, seems less solid.

It comes with a nice holding bag.

incredible mic for the price, was pleasantly surprised. comparable to a shure sm58 in my opinion. only downfalli is that there is no on/off switch, which i think is a very useful feature on mics, but otherwise great mic

good mike with good volume better than other more expensive mikes.

Nice sturdy build and good sound quality.

We purchased five of these to use alongside the PRA 218A in a Music Technology course at a secondary school. Mainly used for vocals but we've also used these for acoustic guitars on occasion and they have performed well.

The hard case is a nice addition and great for keeping these mics safe in a school environment.

After around ten months of heavy use we've had no faults or breakages to report which is pretty impressive given the heavy treatment they get.

Highly recommended vocal mic.

Amazing mic

I am using this microphone in my home studio with Line 6 Pod Farm Studio sound card and i amazed with the quality for the price.

As good as SM58.

Thanks Tomann..

Pretty good mic

Solid, reliable, works well. Use it weekly in church.

Look out - now all poor m*f*rs can sing on a decent mic and not starve:)

I am generally amazed with the price to quality ratio of all Superlux products I own (and there's quite a few).

I've compared it to SM58 - the same, Beta 58 - the beta is better in articulation and "üpfronting" the vocal (expected).

If you need good mice - that is it! Nothing more - it is heavy, sturdy and delivers.

Nice & affordable mic!

Nice & affordable mic with a frequency range 50 - 16000 Hz. Very nice for the price! Very well done!

What can be wrong for this price

So for 23¤ or about 20 quid depending on the state of Brexit, you get a lot of mic for your money.

A nice plastic case with padding to keep it safe. A 'budget' microphone with no switch (hurray ---- from experience as these are the first to break and cause you to warm up the soldering iron) and a microphone clip. These mics have very sturdy casings and look like they could easily take a few drops here and there.

Tried it side-to-side with my SM58 and there was a tad difference but nothing which jumped out at me. For band starting out to have a few general purpose microphone for miking amps or for vocals these are great and won't break the bank.

I bought a couple originally for my local school to replace their mics and based on playing around with them, I bought a couple more for the studio for 'back-pocket' spares, which at this price you cannot go wrong.

Highly recommended.

Bought on a whim, kept as a staple.

My introductory mic to Superlux, and I havent looked back.

On par with a SM58 for sound, but slightly better for acoustic guitars (and trumpets surprisingly), and good on vocals too. Built like a tank, so there's no risk of damaging it too easily; and for the price, even if it was damaged you wont break the bank to replace them.

Better for live events than the studio, but comefortably at home in both. If you're questioning it, just try it - it's worth it.
