A newbie question. How is this microphone terminated? 1/4" plug? Can it be plugged directly into a guitar amp?
Gregory C
on Aug 22, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Thank for your interest in this performance mic. This is a low impedance mic that terminates to a XLR-F. It is not recomended to plug directly into a guitar amp. It sounds great for mic'ing the guitar amp.

Hi Greg,
The mic has XLR connections and is a dynamic style mic.
Most 1/4" connections for a guitar amp are "unbalanced" (2 wires - XLR is 3 wires - a +, -, and shield). Some guitar maps have multiple inputs.
My suggestion is to get a small mixer and use XLR wires into the mixer and run the mixer output into the guitar amp.
Another option is to get an adapter from XLR to 1/4 (probably a TRS) and give it a try. Maybe it will work maybe not. It probably will depend on the guitar amp..

In general, no. This microphone uses a high impedance connection via a 3 pin XLR connector. If you would like to connect to a low impedance guitar amp (1/4 lo-z input) then you will need a 1/4 male to XLR female impedance matching transformer. A 1/4 to XLR cable is not enough; the transformer is required. While this will technically work, most guitar amplifiers are not capable of producing high frequencies necessary for vocal amplification, assuming you are using this as a vocal mic.

Hi Gregory- no, this mike has the traditional XLR connector, so direct connection to a guitar amp would not be possible. First, you'll need an XLR cable, which you can directly connect to a mixer, PA system, or many keyboard amps. While there are XLR to 1/4 inch adaptors out there that would allow connection to your guitar amp, for best results, you would really need a transformer that converts the low impedance signal of the mike into a high one. Hope that helps!

The microphone requires an 3 pin XLR cable. I'm not sure what your application is but if you're looking to use the amp for vocals I would suggest getting an self-powered floor monitor. If you do you want to run it through the amp you'd need a 1/4" to XLR(female). If I'm way off, please elaborate.

The microphone does not come with any cord at all. It has a standard male XLR connection so any standard microphone cable with a female 3 pin XLR will connect to the microphone. The attached cable may work for what you want but as has been pointed out before, it won't be ideal.

It cannot be plugged directly into a guitar amp. It has a 3-pin XLR balanced connector that is used to plug into an audio mixer. Most all guitar amps are not designed to accept a balanced mic signal. It is not recommended.

It requires an XLR cable. They are the 3-pin cables you'd see plugged into a mixer. If you wanted to plug into a guitar amp, you'd have to get an XLR to Balanced TRS 1/4" adapter.

the mic uses a regular low impedance (xlr) cable. you could use it with a guitar amp if you also used an adapter/transformer (to 1/4") on the xlr male end..

No it doesn't come with a cable. You need an XLR cable (female connector, as mic is male) to whatever your setup is (XLR, 1/4 inch, 1/8 inch). And you need to plug into an amplifier to use it.

I am using 2 of these mics to mic amps, along with a couple of condensers for acoustic guitar and vocals. I am running these into a Tascam DP-24SD, whose manuals state "When using condensers mics that require phantom power and dynamic mics together, be sure to use balanced dynamic mics. Unbalanced dynamic mics cannot be used when phantom power is enabled".
Are these dynamic mics balanced or unbalanced?
Thank you.

What are the specifications for this microphone?
John H W
on Nov 6, 2021
BEST ANSWER: From what I can tell the specs have never been published, but its performance is similar to that of a Shure SM-57. The output is a little hotter than a 57, though. I have a couple of these on guitar cabs in my iso room and their performance is good.

It fits standard mic stand (5/8"), you will probably need an adapter if the desktop mic stand has smaller mount (3/8).

I’d like to use this mic for backup vocals, alongside a condenser mic (requiring phantom power) that I use for primary vocals. My two channel USB interface has one on/off switch, which provides phantom power to both or neither input, with no way to provide power to only one input. I’d like to plug this mic into my USB interface and use it simultaneously with my condenser mic.
Q: Will the presence of phantom power (required by the condenser mic) damage this mic?

Very good mic!
Not bad at all. It is a little (a very little bit) brighter than my Shure sm58. A tiny bit more gain. Not quite as heavy as an sm57.
Seems like it will be very good for overhead drums, snare mic, and vocal for certain voices. It's another tool in the bag. At under $30, I don't see how you can go wrong.

Can Hardly Tell the Difference
This is basically the same as an SM57 but at a fraction of the price. I haven't had to use it a ton but I've done some acoustic guitar recording with it at home as well as used it to mic a kick drum for live performances. Solid.
