Good priced talkback mic for X32
wadjet_ki 08.10.2014
We use this microphone as a talkback mic to communicate with our musicians and stage folk, and have it plugged directly into the X32 console. The connection is a little flimsy, though I'm not certain if its the X32 to blame or this microphone. It wobbles a bit in the connection socket, which I can see causing issues down the line, especially if technicians are in the habit of grabbing the mic to talk.

There is an on/off switch at the base, which is useful I suppose, although our desk has a PTT (push-to-talk) button, which renders this switch obsolete, and I can see it causing confusion if a technician switches it off. To remedy this, I've taped up the switch, locking it in the 'on' position.

Sound quality is fine, no complaints. Musicians and singers can hear technicians clearly, which is all that matters.

Great for the price but with one design flaw
Lophophora 31.05.2022
This mic is great for its price and does its job well. Been using it for more than a year and it feels like it's going to last for a long time.
However, there's one very annoying design feat: it has a badly designed on/off switch.
First off, the need for an on/off switch on a talkback mic is debatable. But this switch is placed exactly where you grab the mic when you plug it in, which makes it really easy to switch it off accidentally. Once you've done that a number of times and lost a few seconds wondering why the guys on the other end can't hear you, trust me it becomes quite annoying.
Also, the switch is on the "wrong" side which makes it invisible so even if you're conscious that you need to double check, you can't even do that by simply looking at it. And even if you could, when the switch is on it doesn't even say it's on... you only know when it's off because the slider reveals a small, black over black "off" printing.
That doesn't make it a bad product, but it's something to consider if you care about the ergonomics in your studio.

Buen producto.
Marco Di Cesare 02.10.2021
Funciona para lo que debería funcionar y tiene un buen precio. Obviamente no es para hacer una grabación, solo es para comunicarse, la calidad de grabación es mala. Pero no esperaba más.

Dynamic Swan-neck - better than a goose?
Roger194 16.08.2013
Initial impressions very satisfactory. I have recently installed a pair of these microphones as part of the refurbishment of our local churches P.A. system. They are used on the lectern and pulpit in conjunction with Sennheiser MZS 31 shock-mounts and the initial reaction was quite favourable. As the church is used as a multipurpose hall by groups of differing technical abilities, it was a conscious decision to use dynamic mics so that the mixer's phantom power did not need to be switched on even though a electrostatic mic might have had a brighter sound and a more helpful polar diagram. In the event the sound quality is very clear and there appears to be adequate gain before a howl-round starts. The build quality is good and I like the ability to lock the on-off switch. Nicely & safely packaged in clear plastic cylinders, the mics appear to represent good value for money.

Simple & useful
T-FOH 30.12.2019
+ Does what it's supposed to do. Used as a Talkback Mic on my SQ mixer. The Gooseneck holds well enough.
- Not really a con, but the switch on the connector is of no use for me. Can throw you off if you never use it, and it gets pushed in the Off position :-)

No latch on the connector!
Studio Tech UK 29.09.2023
There's no cutout on the XLR connector, meaning the mic doesn't lock in place connected to anything.
If you put it in a desktop mic base (such as a K&M 29375), and then try to move the mic around on the desk by picking it up by the mic connector, the mic comes out of the base in your hand. No good for live work for this reason. The sound quality is good for the price, and sensitivity is acceptable for studio talkback use. Shame about the lack of latch!

Perfect talking back mic for your mixer
Steve4385 20.10.2017
We use this on our x32 for a talkback mic. With the connector on top of the board this gives enough length to not have to lean too far for talking to the band. Being dynamic means little background noise is picked up so even the noisiest of gigs doesn't stop it being useful.
The switch on the base is useful but which side is 'on' isn't particularly clear so often think it's on when it isn't!
Would also work well as an announcement mic, but I wouldn't use it for anything beyond this as it is extremely cheap and sounds good based on the price tag!

I have been using this mic for studio talkback I also use it for doing soundchecks with our bands P.A., it goes out on the road as well as studio use and is as good as the day I bought it some 3 years later, nice looking quality bit of kit that does exactly what it should and very well, volume control on the xlr is a nice touch and still working well without any crackles, cheers thomann.

Very sensitive
XenWarrior 24.03.2023
Very sensitive to parasitic fibrillations. If someone walks near the table where this microphone is installed, the footsteps sound like Godzilla walked through it. Used with t.bone table stand.
