I run a professional PA system and I had some trouble with 2 separate bands dropping my sm 58's on ground. Well during that show I bought 5 of these thanks for Amazon Iphone app. I keep them in the mic case with the 58s and when I have a feeling the band is going to be violent I switch them out for these puppies.

I would feel comfortable running a high end show with these mics cause they sound great. I personally would use them the regularly for back up vocals for there low cost and superior sound.

but some shows are very particle about having 58's. but these are the bands who know how to treat a mic.

of course nothing beats a classic shure sm 58

This mic is typical of Shure: good and tough. For the price, don't expect studio performance; this is a good mic for garage bands, karaoke, anywhere you don't want to shell out on for the superb SM series. It is a good sounding mic that does what it's supposed to.

The microphone is used with an inexpensive karoke amp at an assisted living facility. It is a great improvement from our old microphone. We are not fussy about quality vocal. Just need it loud and clear for making announcements.

My drummer got a deal and pulled the trigger on a 3 pack of these and I was like "NOOoooo"! Turns out I was wrong about these mics. They are solid, sound good, and are a great price. They will not hold up to a SM-58 or a beta 58, but it dogs the heck out of my Audix OM-2. Get one and see for yourself, heck at $40 use it for a back up.

Just got it today through Amazon. Be aware! This product comes with a XLR to XLR cable, not a 1/4" cable as described. Have to return it.

This is a great microphone. I got this mic instead of the PG58 because of the 10 Hz difference. The PG48 is rated from 70-15,000Hz while the PG58 is rated from 60-15,000Hz. I probably won't be able to tell the difference between the two so I got the PG48-QTR and I'm glad I did! It's a nicely built mic! Its solid and it looks like it can handle a little abuse, I haven't tried that theory yet. The PG48-QTR come with the cable to a 1/4" plug, a clip for putting on a mic stand, which is a plus, a bag to hold the mic in, and some other accessories that I won't use. Now it doesn't come with a 1/4" to 3.5mm adapter so you probable just have to go to the shack to get it!

If your unsure to buy this mic, get it! You won't probably regret it!

TENGO 1 MICRÓFONO DE ESTE MODELO Y MARCA PARA USO EN VIVO, Y DESDE QUE LO PROBÉ PUDE DARME CUENTA DE LA CALIDAD DE ESTE APARATO. REDUCE OSTENSIBLEMENTE EL FEEDBACK, LOS GOLPES DE AIRE AL HABLAR, Y SUENA INCREÍBLE. REALMENTE ES UN MICRÓFONO PARA USO PROFESIONAL, LO RECOMIENDO AMPLIAMENTE Y EL PRECIO NI SE DIGA. APROVECHA

This mike works pretty well. I use it with an Yamaha Stage Pass PA system. I would like it better if if picked up from more that a few inches. I don't think it is a failing of the mike just my personal preference. It is definitely worth the money and if you don't want to spend much this is a really good choice.

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 mobile DJ. This year I was replacing several of my old mics and decided to get some high quality "Shure" mics. The ones I got were the PG48 model which is actually at the low end of the Shure mic line. But these are still high quality vocal mics. After buying two, I bought two more. These prices beat PSSL (Pro Sound & Stage Lighting) where I get most of my DJ gear from.
