"Excellent mic. Price is just the icing on the cake."
Verified Purchaser
zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
Very Happy with this microphone and will replace them with the same when and if needed.
Sound
Sound was nice and clear and didn't color the sound much. Used for karaoke.
Features
The grounded antenna didn't seem to help with droputs. If you are on a stage this wouldn't be a problem. If you wander around the room you'd be better off getting the true diversity model (mic is the same, only the receiver is different)
Quality
Microphone seems very solid and well built. This was a replacement for another I purchased about 5 years ago that had finally been dropped to many times (typical when drunk karaoke singers use them).
Value
Definately worth the money.
Manufacturer Support
I've never attempted to get repairs as buying new ones would probably be cheaper than fixing. One downside is there doesn't seem to be replacement screens available. if it get dropped and dented you have to try and push out the dents (rounded end of a screwdriver handle seems to work well)
The Wow Factor
I wouldn't call it sexy. Handsome might be a better term
