For karaoke

For vocals / For karaoke / Inexpensive / Type: capacitor
The main advantages
  • Cardioid directivity filters out unwanted sounds to ensure that there is no noise or interference when using the microphone
  • Phantom power connects to most modern mixers
  • Powered by a regular AA / UM3 battery, the microphone can work when no phantom power is available
  • The case is made of metal and has increased strength compared to plastic devices, which guarantees long-term and trouble-free operation
  • The use of a special suspension allows you to minimize mechanical noise when using a microphone
For vocals / For karaoke / Type: capacitor
The main advantages
  • The built-in filter can easily cut off low frequencies (less than 80 Hz). This allows you to eliminate the effect of approach and noise reproduced by operating equipment (ventilation, heaters, etc.)
  • A dedicated switch reduces the output signal by 10 dB without changing the frequency response, which can significantly increase the audio range
  • Multi-stage grille provides blow-out protection without compromising microphone performance
  • XLRM connector is gold-plated to ensure long-term use and protect the contacts from oxidation
  • High-quality anti-shock protection provides suppression of extraneous noise during operation
