Amazon Basics Dynamic Microphone - Professional Vocal Mic with Cable for Karaoke, Podcasting, Live Performance

Im not a professional musician so I may not be as critical about the sounds and specifics of this mic as others may be. I needed an inexpensive mic to plug into an amp so that people can sing as I play the organ or piano in my home music room. For the price, I am very satisified with the voice quality and the construction of this microphone. It serves my needs perfectly. It even comes with a removable mounting clip for attaching the microphone to a stand. The cord is very long and has the 1/4" jack I needed for plugging it into my amplifier. I like that it has an on/off switch, too. It's a basic microphone ideal for singing. No complaints so far. I could have spent a lot more money for possibly slightly better frequency range, etc., but for my budget, this mic is just what I needed.

It works perfect, clear sound and if you have a little reverb on your PA system it sounds very smooth and professional.

Very impressed with this mic at a really good price point. I would recommend a wind cover though. I will probably buy another one. Volume is low, but with the right power, it sounds good. I would have loved it more if they included a pouch to carry and protect it.

Took this out of the box and the weight surprised me. This thing is metal and has some heft to it. Feels good in the hand, very much like Sennheiser, AKG, EV, Shure etc. Comes with a mic clip and a long mic cable. The mic clip exhibits a little rubbery flex, a good thing, considering how easily cheaper clips break from being too brittle. The cable is female XLR on one end and 1/4" unbalanced TS on the other. I wish both ends were XLR. Even more, I wish they were right angled XLRs. When are you getting in the right angle and low profile XLR game AMZ? The mic sounds fine. I plan to use it at events where people are making speeches. As a musician, I wouldn't exclude it from use as a vocal mic, in the absence of the ones I'm familiar with. One negative I notice, is that an Amazon Basics XLR does not 'click' on to this mic. While it does lock, I do not hear that confirmatory click I'm used to with my other mics.

Works fine. Sounds much better with an XLR cable versus the cable it comes with

For the price point, it's decent. My only gripe is after time the XLR input isn't stable. It will break apart from the base. So for mobile applications be weary. Something to set and forget. It's perfect...... SOUNDS GREAT but longevity is the issue....

I never used it and passed it along to a colleague. I think everything was fine with the microphone.

I've had pretty good luck with 'Amazon Basics' products, and this dynamic mic is another win, at least for my needs. I bought this primarily to use with the vocoders on my MicroKorg synths. At this price, I wasn't too worried about top drawer technical specs. It sounds fine with my vocoders, and that's all I care about. The body of this microphone is metal, so it has a nice heft when being held by hand, and it just feels like it will stand up to reasonable use. I like the matte black finish on the body. The business end has the classic heavy chrome mesh pop filter. Some people don't like an on/off switch on their mics, but I prefer it, and this one has a nice slider switch. I didn't read all the details when I ordered this, but I was surprised that the cord that comes with this mic is a very generous length, nice gauge (not thick but not thin) pliable rubber casing. It does terminate in a 1/4" male connection (it's not XLR to XLR), but that's just what I needed to connect to my MicroKorgs. The only place they kinda cut corners was the mic holder clip, which is plastic, and not very robust. It also does not come with any kind of carrying bag, so you'll either have to find one or store it in the box when not in use. Nice budget dynamic mic, though. :)

Consegna Amazon perfetta oltre che in anticipo. .. Il microfono conferma quanto già di buono avevo letto tra le recensioni , era stato acquistato per un po' di karaoke in famiglia, ma ritengo possa essere utilizzato a livello professionale. .

Fast delivery. Good microphone, sounds quite good for the money

Das Mikrophon bietet eine wirklich überzeugende Qualität für einen unglaublich guten Preis. Dabei möchte ich betonen, dass man natürlich keine Studioaufnahmen damit tätigen kann, was aber jedem klar sein sollte, sobald man den Preis sieht. Für unter 20€ übertrifft es dennoch alle Erwartungen. Ich habe das Mikrophon jetzt mehrere Stunden genutzt, um Loops zusammen mit meinen Gitarren einzuspielen (egal ob Beatboxen, Gesang oder perkussive Aufnahmen). Dabei konnte ich mich von der Qualität des Mikrophons überzeugen. Selbst bei meinem kostengünstigen Verstärker klingt meine Stimme klar, natürlich und ohne Nebengeräusche. Würde ich einen professionellen Song mit dem Mikrophon aufnehmen oder es zur Aufnahme meiner (Gitarren-)Verstärker nutzen - NEIN. Aber für alle amateurhaften bis semiproffessionellen Anwendungen sollte das Gerät absolut ausreichend sein. Es gibt nicht umsonst verschiedene Mikrophone für verschiedene Anwendungen (Kondensor-, Dynamisch-...) - dieses hier ist sicher eher für den Heimgebrauch gedacht und dann quasi ein Allrounder (vor allem aber für die Stimme geeignet). Ich würde sagen - für Podcasts oder so reicht es allemal, für den Gesang über einen kleinen Verstärker, Beatboxen, Loops, oder auch die Aufnahme "des Raums" bei einem Band Setting oder Ähnlichem reicht es auch, solang man bei den Erwartungen fair bleibt. Für unter 20€ einfach unschlagbar. Von mir gibt es eine klare Kaufempfehlung.

Correctos,

I bought this microphone in a hurry when one of the church singers broke the previous one. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this microphone was better than my old one and cost far less.
