Superlux PRA-383D XLR Reviews

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.

great sax mic

i stayed away from a wireless setup for simplicity's sake. this mic does a great job, providing a clear and natural sound. great performance and value.

Excellent value..

I used it live for the first time with my tenor sax.. sounded excellent Far better than using a Shure SM57/58. Good for gigs. I used it wired XLR cable from the belt pack to the the mixing desk.

Secret weapon

We have several of these and love them. They're great on strings and I know of at least one company who uses them for large orchestral concerts, in fact they told me about them! Not DPA quality but not their prices either.

Pros: Work great on a variety of instruments. Easy clip-on. Solid build.

Cons: A bit bulky with the box.

Great sound for price

This is not a 2000¤ microphone, it is a 50¤ microphone for your woodwind instruments, has a great sound for the price you are paying and the quality is actually really good I rather use it for my trumpet then my microphone with phantom power on the stand, comes with a battery and a nice case so you can carry your mic to your gigs, has a really dark sound when used with a trumpet and a harmon mute,recommend

Recommend

Have it for didgeridoo playing and has excellent sound . Good purchase for good money

great little mic

I use this as a clip on mic on my accordion when my shure sm98 had to go in for repair and its very impressive. Big natural sound. Ive used it on big festival stages and had no complaints. Ive used most of the clip mics on the market and frankly its hard to tell this apart from ones costing 4 times as much. Ive used it on snares too with good results. Neatly clips onto the snare rim. Amazing little piece of kit and cheap at twice the price!

Superb self contained microphone - especially for saxophone!

For me and my needs, this mic was a better option than the t.Bone Ovid CC100 I returned to purchase this. Having the attached Clip, battery powered phantom power supply, case included, the thicker mic cable AND an equivalent sound quality, made this an easy decision to make. I play sax and use a battery amp that doesn't have phantom power, I had all sorts of permutations to try to achieve this with the Ovid - so, very glad I found it and quite by chance too.

Good product for a relatively low price

I bought this for the sax player in my band. Works great, sounds good and proved reliable so far. Sturdy materials. The case is a nice bonus. After three sessions of 4+ hours the battery still is not depleted, so battery life is good as well!

Pretty good for the money

A good mic, especially when you consider the low price. Good and solid, well built. Sound isn't the best out there, but again, for the price this is a good, functional and reliable mic.

Nice mic

Very good for the price.
