JUNK
Posted by DJ Steve from Mondovi, WI on May 30, 2009
Experience w/product: I own it

Junk, absolute, complete junk. Horrible interference, If I could get the thing to work at all would be nice. I have been doing karaoke for 9 years. Wanted to pic up an extra wireless for one of my systems and thought this sounded like a great deal. Horrible mic! Do yourself a favor, spend a little more money and get a decent UHF mic. Avoid the hassle of having to return this!

Beware. This is the worst wireless microphone I have ever come in contact with. It drops out whenever it wants to, you cannot place it within 10ft. of any electrical device. Not even a pacemaker. It feels cheap, it gives feedback problems. There is a popping sound (Static) that sounds like a bomb went of in the sanctuary. I received this microphone as a gift and I should of used it as a paperweight instead of giving it a chance. Oh and I almost forgot, it sounds terrible. If you haven't gotten the point. DO NOT PURChASE THIS PRODUCT!!!!!!!!

The mic proved to be somewhat flimsy....

The mic proved to be somewhat flimsy. Mine broke after a short time (right in the middle of a comedy routine-very embarassing, to say the least). Not very durable construction. When it was working, there seemed to be a hum I couldn't get rid of. Verified it was the mic by trying it on other moblie rig systems. Overall, save the money and purchase something a little more high end

Too many pops
Posted by LividLiquid from Seattle, Wa on Oct 25, 2006
Experience w/product: I own it
Reviewer's Background: Karaoke Host
Reviewer's Play Style: Karaoke
I purchased this mic last year for a Karaoke business, and only run it in small venues. Its first major problem is that rather than putting out no sound when there's no signal, it puts out loud static. VERY loud static.

Secondly, whenever a cellular phone is near the transmitter, the signal will drop out, resulting in loud pops.

I purchased the Audio Technica dr1600 at Guitar Center a week ago and use it for my acoustic shows. This mic was A LOT clearer than the wired mic that I have been using. The price on this unit does not reflect the quality, thats for sure. Great unit, affordable price...cant beat it.
