ShurePG48-QTR Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone with On-Off Switch includes 15' XLR to 1/4" Cable

For those folks out there that just want a decent mic that sounds pretty darn good without breaking the bank, I don't see how you can go wrong with this mic. For $40 don't expect recording quality but don't be afraid to buy this mic if you are just starting out and playing small gigs with a small budget. This mic is professional quality compared to some I've used to sing through in the past. I'm using it now as a vocal mic in a small jam band playing in senior citizens centers and nursing homes. Heck, I'm an old guy that doesn't play the joints anymore, playing with some other guys in the same situation, so I've been through a lot of mics in my experience. I really like this mic, it's well made and does a fine job in the setting I'm using it. I am using it through a small Fender amp(20 watt) with a tiny bit of gain cranked in if that helps in any way.

I've been using these PG48 mics for years - the sound is nearly indistinguishable from Shure's industry-standard SM58 when in a rehearsal situation. As a singer in metal bands, I've very rough on my microphones. This mic holds up to any aggressive style and can handle lots of abuse.I damaged my 'go to' rehearsal mic (a 5-year-old PG48) during band practice on a Wednesday, and had another rehearsal on Friday -I needed my Shure Mic QUICK! - I placed my order with Amazon and my mic was delivered and ready to go Friday afternoon.I definitely recommend this mic for anyone wanting quality on a budget.

I use this for Video Exchanges on a guitar instruction website. It's perfect for vocals, podcasting, video recording and so forth. Shure makes excellent stuff. What's also great is you save some money as an XLR cable is included. I'm very happy with this purchase.

I bought this mic for use in a first time, home Karaoke set up. Even though the set up was in home it was a pretty high quality group of components. Needed a mic that fit the scene being set. Found this item which included XLR cable for under $30. For that price, it's an unbelievable quality product. It's heavy in your hand, so it feels professional. I experienced no popping p's or other maladies of cheap mics. No feedback problems. Perfect for the price. If you're a touring artist it might not be what you want but for anything less, it's more than sufficient at this price point.

Somee how is defects. Doesn't work. I bought female to male adaptor to connect withmy karoke . No sound at all. I havw to send all back..

These things i found out rocked! They truly completed my simple karaoke setup!I had some of the $10 pyle mics and i thought they were decent...but using the pyles i had to turn up all the gains and volume on the mixer to get them to pump out. And with the pyles you basically had to press them against your mouth to get audio out.These Shures however, pickup vocals with ease! The clarity is pronounced and no need to setup the gains all high on the mixer. I was really missing out when i decided to use cheap mics before i went with a trusted brand! Highly recommend!I have the Behringer Xenyx 802 2 channel mixer with Behringer EUROLIVE B210D PA speaker. And my karaoke system bumps!

I bought this with the intention of using it in musical performance, and it was a poor choice. This microphone's pick up range is too wide, and thus feeds back very easily. Looking back on it, this microphones intentions are written right on the box "for karaoke and speech". To be frank, that is about all it would be good for. Which, by the way, it isn't bad at (I've seen it in speech action). If you are looking for a cheap microphone that will hold up for a while, this is great. But don't expect it to be able to handle a rock show, or even an mellow ambient setting.

I'm a gigging and touring LA musician and I play at a lot of clubs all over the world and never leave home without my Shure mic. This microphone works wonders considering thr price. It picks up your voice easily and projects very nicely. I find this mic to be better than the expensive mics at the clubs and it is also extremely durable and lasts for years!
