Superlux PRA-383D XLR

Very nice equipment for percussion

Bodypack is heavy

This bodypack works with battery or with +48V. Most sound systems today provide phantom power, so I find battery feature unnecessary. There is separate phantom adapter avaliable, but according to user manual diagrams, they don't work with the microphones.

If you use one microphone and there might not be phantom power option, then I recommend it. I play accordion and do not want to strap 4 of them onto my back.

Big trouble mic

This mi is highly prone to feedback. I loaned it to a friend he said it works fine, but on my PPA 200 passive amplifier it goes crazy disrupting everything. I kept it for a year before rating

Value for money and robust.

A budget clip on microphone that gives a good response to the trumpet sound. Savings have been made in the finishing quality, for example, the steel belt bracket has sharp edges (I used steel wool to remove them) and the XLR input requires some force to connect. Make sure to take a spare battery. Overall, it's a workhorse piece of kit that does the business.

Nice mic for a beginner like me

The mic gives a strong signal when clipped on my tenor sax. No complaints on sound quality. The foam looks rather cheap and doesn't fit very nice, but it does the job. The clip is rather weak and can't be locked, so the mic falls of easily when something or someone stumbles against it. Funny thing is that without a battery in the power module it gives the same signal as with one. Maybe it feeds on the phantom power of the audio interface. Overall very satisfied with thsi mic

In this price range, it's good enough

I use this for flute live performance.

pros

1. Inexpensive

2. Easy to use

cons

1.Clip no as large as I think

2.Sound are not good as DPA, but the price is only 1/5 by DPA.

In this price range, it's good enough also very convenient.

Good mic for the money!

I am pleasantly surprised, wasn't really expecting much for that price, but it works pretty well, I use it on a didgeridoo and once you get the levels set up right, it works pretty well and the sound is good for what I need. I have it routed into an effects pedal and it does a good job!

It's great for the price

It sounds surprisingly good for the price and can be used on variety of instruments, however certain elements feel cheap. The mini XLR cable connecting the microphone to the battery pack seems fairly flimsy.

I'd still recommend this microphone, just bear in mind that the quality is not the best, although it sounds great for the price!

good cheap microphone for brass

Good, sturdy microphone. I used for trumpet- for concerts and home recording. Maybe not the best in the market- but for its value very good.

Dependable fixed mic

Gives confidence to move around freely without loss of signal quality or strength. A well engineered robust piece of kit that you will love to use.
