Audio-Technica PRO44 Cardioid Condenser Boundary Microphone

the best boundary mic for $100 you'll find anywhere. Very crisp, clean vocal pickup, good siblance and very clear. Pick up area is up to six feet with minimal echo. Should be a little heavier so the cable doesn't move the mic on the table, but a bit of gaffer's tape handled that pesky cable. Not too pretty, but it did the job. Good long cable, too. Also, XLR male on pre-amp end of cable, so its a balanced output for pro use. Bought two. Sounds better than the older more expensive larger model.

This mic is an exceptional value at $100. It has a high gain, and is very clean. It's fairly sturdy and I like the extra long slimline cable included. We bought a couple to used as tap mics for dance performances and they pick up everything quite well. They're not as accurate as my old Crown PCC but they're a third of the price so it's a no-brainer for most applications. I'd highly recommend these if you need a good clean sound with decent durability on a budget.

We are using these for our theater productions. The units are quite small, about the size of a pack of cigarettes. They are surprisingly sensitive. Our stage is 30 feet wide, but we can effectively cover it all with just one mic. However, we use three - left, center and right stage locations for productions. The only complaint I have is that I would prefer that the mini-XLR connector come out the side rather than the rear. Since we place the mics at the stage lip, which is raised, since the cable comes out the rear and the cable can only be bent so much as it runs along the lip, the mic must be moved farther out onto the stage than I would like.

I purchased this microphone to use in a High School Stage production. We could not afford over the ear microphones for the 9 cast members. I bought a couple of these and set them on the stage in strategic locations. Ambient hiss was not very noticiable and the mics picked up from a very respectable distance. Good purchase. Worth the money.

Clearly this microphone is for highly specialized purposes. The description doesn't really tell you that it won't connect to any generic digital recording devices. It looks like a more modern version of a sound grabber type microphone which could be connected (back in the day) to a tape recorder. I'd assumed I could connect this to a digital voice recorder (Tascam) to amplify the internal microphone so the recording of a conversation would be more clear. WRONG! It's really too bad that it's not much more descriptive and giving examples of what it can and cannot connect to on the other end. Sadly, I needed something in a hurry for work, thought this would function fine and discovered the night before (when it arrived) that it won't connect to anything a non-musician would own. This is not for non-esoteric uses. Beware.

We are a community theater and can not afford to put body mics on everyone in a large cast. These mics offer a great alternative to allow all the cast to be heard. We place these across the front of the stage and add hanging coral mics. Once these are tuned using your Parametric EQ to prevent feedback, you can get great sound reinforcement.

We bought this for our church. It works pretty well for our needs. I would say it picks up quite well in a 3-4 ft direction from front and sides. We use it as a table mic that need to pick up several people at various distances. Our plan is to buy a couple more to put on stage and use for programs for our preschool. Traditional mics don’t pick up well enough from in front of stage

I use the mic plugged into a Mackie mixer that then is plugged into my computer. I use the mixer for occasional podcasts or podcast editing. At any rate, the mic is much better than the stock mic in the computer. I'll also use the mic for web meetings personally and in conference room settings. The mixer allows me to plug in several condenser mics at various places in the room so that those we are meeting with online can hear everyone in the room. At any rate, it is a good mic.

helpful microphone. gives sweet sound . rustic & ecelectic

great mic - very sensitive and reasonably good audio quality.

Funziona bene ed ha un prezzo accettabile . Lo consiglierei sicuramente a chiunque abbia bisogno di un microfono da palco .

This is not suitable for indian conditions. It has no switch and doesn't work properly.

Great mic for picking up sound, but better suited to recording or broadcasting than PA use. Cannot put much of it into the mix without feedback.
