Superlux PRA-383D XLR 4-stars Reviews

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.

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.

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!

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.

Good mic

Used on a tenor sax. holds well, good sturdy model.

has great range and good quality sound

Good mic for the price

This is a surprising little mic! I've had this for a while now and done many a gig with it and it still works great. I use it for playing saxophone in church bands as well as function bands and it works well in all of those situations. The sound isn't the best you'll find out there but, for the price, it mics up an instrument very well!

If you're looking for an inexpensive microphone that clips nicely on to your sax or trumpet, maybe the gig is coming up soon and you don't have the cash to fork out mega bucks, then this is the microphone you need!

good

works well as a personal monitor mic however it does pick up all the mechanical noise of the trumpet so it's not suitable to be used for the live band sound. Good price for what it is.

Superlux PRA-383D?

Does what it says on the tin! Good bit of kit with big volume and nice tone. Uses mini xlr and is compatible with AKG systems or the t.bone wireless set ups. Only thing missing is an LED to remind you that it's on and I can't work out why the on off button has two on positions as the instructions are in Klingon! and very brief. It has no additional volume control but it's set to give maximum gain/output and the single battery seems to last for ages! The power pack is of heavy metal construction but it's not too heavy to stick in your pocket although it does have a clip. Tough bit of kit and practically bullet proo! I'm actually using the microphone with my tbone wireless transmitter pack because this mic has more power than my AKG bug mic. You can also simply add a mini XLR to 6.3mm Jack to the power pack and DI guitars etc. So, it might be low on features but it packs a big punch.
