Great Mic – Especially For The Price!
Let me start by saying – This mic is amazing! I’ve been looking around for a good but inexpensive mic for a while now and this is what I decided on.Pros:Great audio qualityOn/off switchIncludes XLR cableIncludes mic holderPriceSounds like an Sm58Cons:It’s a bit noisy when hold it your hand, but if you use a mic stand it’s great.Doesn’t come with dragonIf you are planning to use this with a guitar amp you will need an impedance transformer. This basically allows your low impedance device (Microphone) to be able to be plugged into your high impedance input (Amp). I’ve linked a great one here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006NMUHW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1The XLR-QTR cable will not give you the same great results as this will. You will need to select the XLR-XLR cable to be able to use this transformer.You won’t regret buying this microphone!I did not receive either of these products for free or at a discount.Update: Two years later and I have developed as a musician. I can now tell that this does NOT sounds as good as the more expensive SM58. However, I still like to have this microphone around because it’s a good backup, but you can also give it to the little ones to keep their hands off of your more expensive gear. If you just need to use a microphone a few times for something like a karaoke party, this mic will work well; if you’re a musician, I’d go with the industry standard SM58, or possibly it’s younger brother the SM48(though i’ve never actually held this mic in my hand; make your own informed decision).

Good price with high quality
This mic is a great value! Compared to other value-priced vocal mics, sound quality is good, perfect price, 15’long cord included. Very happy with this purchase.

Works perfect and fit and finish is very good.
Very good solid Microphone. works great as expected.I purchased the PGA48 without the cord. I think it was available with a 15 foot cord. I purchased the 25 food cords.IF this microphone works as good as it looks it should last for many years. But only time will tell.As for now it working. I bought the Shure brand Microphone because 20 years ago they were what everyone used.

Low Cost, High Quality!
This mic is a terrific value! Compared to other value-priced vocal mics I’ve owned or tried, this one is hands down the best.As a karaoke jockey, I never put expensive mics in singers’ hands. After going through several non-Shure cheap mics, I bought this Shure PGA48. Now I own 5 of them. They’re the only mics I use for karaoke gigs.Sound quality is surprisingly crisp, with good highs and lows. The mic performs very well when effects are adjusted on my mixing board. (I try to give every singer their best shot at sounding good, whether or not they are a good singer.)The only downside I can find (and it’s really a non-issue for my purposes), is that there can be a little handling noise. However, this is greatly reduced with the use of high quality, shielded microphone cords. At my events, I leave all the mics for singers on stands and ask folks to not remove them. If someone does get feisty and takes a mic in their hand, it’s fine, though, because my cords are good. Besides, any handling noise is completely covered up once I crank up the song. I’d just suggest that if you purchase this mic, you also purchase a high quality microphone cord. If you do that, you really shouldn’t have any problems. And you’ll be very glad to have an inexpensive vocal mic that has such a great sound!

Karaoke savior
This came in handy during Holiday karaoke ! It has a handy on/off switch which my $100 plus mic does not have and that’s a definite plus when you’re passing the mic around. I swear it made ‘ok’ singers sound better and clearer, lol!It’s better than just a karaoke mic though. It can definitely be used for lead or background vocalists, spoken word, presentations…Nice price point as well.Great purchase !Update 4/24Once again this handy mic came in a pinch at a presentation where several people had to use it to make speeches. Feedback from them was positive. It has some weight- feels solid- and doesn’t feel like a cheap karaoke mic. You could hear each person clearly and there was no static. We used a ‘generic’ speaker and a long cord. Thank goodness for the on and off switch as it exchanged hands several times. Love this mic!

ワイヤレスマイクが前提の大きな会場の音響システムですが,常設のチューナーは4本です。マイク自体も高額で増設が難しいですが,有線マイクはプラグにゆとりがあり,さらにマイク・増設にかかる費用も低く抑えられます。SHUREのダイナミックマイクの中では安価なモデルですが音の再現が自然で安定しています。集会の演説,ボーカル,楽器の音(管・弦・打楽器)などどんな使い方でもそのままの再現性があります。アンプとスピーカーはRAMZAです。

Instead of buying stupid microphone like blue snowball ice and other stuff that creates latency and can never be resolved, this mic can be brought. If u are looking for mic that record just your voice even in a noisy environment and has no latency when sing please buy this… And remember a soundcard like behringer is required to use this which costs additional 4k but its worth buying. Good mic but still condencer mic can be a better option when they are available for 1000k. Because this mic has bassy sound and dose not provide any additional crisp ness if u r a singer plz buy power Pak or wright mics I have used personally.

It’s a great microphone for podcasting and radio work!Crisp sound.The package came with the instructions, a travel bag for the microphone, and an aux cord. It even comes with a small piece of accessory to add to a microphone stand. It was well packaged and work perfectly when I tested it. Good price and a solid brand.
