PRO44 Cardioid Condenser Boundary Microphone

the best boundary mic for $100 you'll find anywhere. Very crisp, clean vocal pickup, good siblance and very clear. Pick up area is up to six feet with minimal echo. Should be a little heavier so the cable doesn't move the mic on the table, but a bit of gaffer's tape handled that pesky cable. Not too pretty, but it did the job. Good long cable, too. Also, XLR male on pre-amp end of cable, so its a balanced output for pro use. Bought two. Sounds better than the older more expensive larger model.

Using on a podium so no handheld or obtrusive mic is needed. Once the mic is EQ'd and dialed in, it sounds great. I also use a second one of these inside of a piano (just make sure you secure it to the lid). Open or closed, it works like a charm, but again, it needs to be dialed in depending on whether the piano lid is open or closed (if mounted to the lid).

I am not an audiophile or video recording person. I just wanted something to help Zoom with my parents and my kids. With the laptop microphone the kids had to be right up next to the laptop for my parents to hear them over zoom. I am glad I read about these boundary style microphone pattern that they use in conference call microphones. This thing just sits on the corner of my desk and I no longer have problems with parents not able to hear my kids even if they are across the room. It is small, unobtrusive, and doesnt take up huge amounts of desk space unlike other large condensor microphones. This is probably a bit overkill since I also had to buy the usb interface for the 48v power needed (went with a focusrite solution). But, overall it solved my issues and if I ever want to start a podcast I probably could pull one off with higher quality.

I love this boundary mic, and have bought them for multiple sites. They are sensitive, high quality / rugged, and work like they should out of the box. Keep them away from speakers as they are prone to feedback.

Clearly this microphone is for highly specialized purposes. The description doesn't really tell you that it won't connect to any generic digital recording devices. It looks like a more modern version of a sound grabber type microphone which could be connected (back in the day) to a tape recorder. I'd assumed I could connect this to a digital voice recorder (Tascam) to amplify the internal microphone so the recording of a conversation would be more clear. WRONG! It's really too bad that it's not much more descriptive and giving examples of what it can and cannot connect to on the other end. Sadly, I needed something in a hurry for work, thought this would function fine and discovered the night before (when it arrived) that it won't connect to anything a non-musician would own. This is not for non-esoteric uses. Beware.

We are using these for our theater productions. The units are quite small, about the size of a pack of cigarettes. They are surprisingly sensitive. Our stage is 30 feet wide, but we can effectively cover it all with just one mic. However, we use three - left, center and right stage locations for productions. The only complaint I have is that I would prefer that the mini-XLR connector come out the side rather than the rear. Since we place the mics at the stage lip, which is raised, since the cable comes out the rear and the cable can only be bent so much as it runs along the lip, the mic must be moved farther out onto the stage than I would like.

This mic is an exceptional value at $100. It has a high gain, and is very clean. It's fairly sturdy and I like the extra long slimline cable included. We bought a couple to used as tap mics for dance performances and they pick up everything quite well. They're not as accurate as my old Crown PCC but they're a third of the price so it's a no-brainer for most applications. I'd highly recommend these if you need a good clean sound with decent durability on a budget.

This microphone is perfect for laying on our communion table. Because the table top is granite, we won't be mounting it on top, so I taped it down so it wouldn't be knocked off, but could be moved when the table is moved. That said, the microphone initially gave horrible feedback, so I was concerned I had made a poor choice, but after working with someone more knowledgeable than me, it was just WAY too loud, compared to the other mic we had under the table. It barely needs to be on to pick up voices from on top of the table. Because we have people who are behind the table and don't project their voices, this will be great for picking up their soft voices! Am very happy with this purchase and would recommend this company. Item, because it was "prime", came in 2 days. Perfect in every way.

helpful microphone. gives sweet sound . rustic & ecelectic

great mic - very sensitive and reasonably good audio quality.

Funziona bene ed ha un prezzo accettabile . Lo consiglierei sicuramente a chiunque abbia bisogno di un microfono da palco .

This is not suitable for indian conditions. It has no switch and doesn't work properly.

Great mic for picking up sound, but better suited to recording or broadcasting than PA use. Cannot put much of it into the mix without feedback.
