Superlux PRA-383D XLR

A budget clip on microphone that gives a good response to the trumpet sound. Savings have been made in the finishing quality, for example, the steel belt bracket has sharp edges (I used steel wool to remove them) and the XLR input requires some force to connect. Make sure to take a spare battery. Overall, it's a workhorse piece of kit that does the business.

The mic gives a strong signal when clipped on my tenor sax. No complaints on sound quality. The foam looks rather cheap and doesn't fit very nice, but it does the job. The clip is rather weak and can't be locked, so the mic falls of easily when something or someone stumbles against it. Funny thing is that without a battery in the power module it gives the same signal as with one. Maybe it feeds on the phantom power of the audio interface. Overall very satisfied with thsi mic
