Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Sony F-V100 is an affordable, yet quality-driven microphone. With a frequency range of -100Hz to 10kHz, the microphone is useful in both speech and vocal music recordings. The dynamic, omni-directional mic is a sure plus for all types of recording. The microphone is lightweight (4.1 ounces) and compact (2" x 6.5"), and with the long 9'8" cord the microphone has the ability to stray far away from the home component. To accommodate a wide range of component jacks, Sony has included a UniMatch mini-plug with this microphone, allowing it to be used with all types of components. When searching for an affordable, comfortable and versatile microphone, the F-V100 should not be overlooked.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dependable and CHEAP!, November 7, 2005

By	William Hardin (Virginia) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)

So you must be in the market for a microphone if you are reading this. Depending on what you want out of a mic, this might be a great bargain choice. I recently tested 30+ of these Sony F-V100 Mics and every single one worked--nice and clean sounding in a streamlined lightweight package.

Pros:
Price (Under $10)
Dependable--very durable
Good audio quality
No on/off switch (less to break)
Lightweight (easy for kids to hold)
9.8 foot cord


Cons:
No on/off switch
Low volume for some uses
Mostly plastic build instead of metal

So if you are looking for an easy to use and durable mic on a budget, this should be exactly what you need. If you have requirements that do not amp the mic much, then you will need a more expensive mic.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this, July 15, 2006

By	Cindy G - Book freak "Cindy G" - See all my reviews

My husband bought me this microphone to replace a broken mike for my Audiostream AS 222 karaoke machine.

It works - badly, so I give it one star.

You can't hear anything out of this mike - it's going back to whence it came from. Buh bye!

1.0 out of 5 stars How low can you go?, December 12, 2009

By	Drstrange32 "Ryan" (Agoura Hills, CA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

I bought it despite the warnings that the gain was very low. But I figured it was because people were using it directly into a karaoke machine. I planned on using it in my computer. Well, that wasn't good enough either. This mic needs a microphone pre-amp. That being the case you could buy a better microphone with that money. In fact, the mic that came with Rock Band outperforms this and that's a TOY.
