Shure VP64A Omni-directional Dynamic Handheld, Wired Microphone, Color: Black. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)yes, got mine From amazon.com for testing...
it passes.

actual freq response on this thing
is about 50 to 14 k or so... in
3 db band..

even this mic, as with most XLR type mics
you need to get something like the A85 F
with appropriate cable ( xlr Male to xlr Female
needed ) to boost output to useable levels.

it is CLEAR.
intended really for vocals.. ( interview mic , they say)
but
even ifyou shout into it, doesnt seem to break up.
so
can be used for vocals or backup vocals also.

its OMNIdirectional.. well.. a good part of it anyway.

about 300-600 ohms type..

if you can get it for about usd 60 or so.. landed
into your home, TAKE it.

oh as with most all mics,,,
Proximity effect on this thing is severe.

even ifyou use it without a85f,
do keep at least 8-10 inches AWAY from mic.

if you use a 85f,then one can use it
at12-18 inches away even..
its more clear that way, less booming
and other stuff.

for home studio.. can be used to record vocals too.

will re test on other
instruments to check useability
and report back, one fine day.

in meantime, enjoying this very decent
mic.

take care and go for it.

Product Description:
The VP64A is a high-output omnidirectional handheld dynamic microphone designed for professional audio and video production. It combines exceptional performance and comfortable feel with a handsome on-camera appearance. The 7-7/8" (200 mm) long Shure VP64A is ideal for close-up use and can be used outside as well as indoors. The omnidirectional pickup pattern provides uniform pickup on or off axis, eliminating the need for critical microphone positioning. The VP64 series microphones also feature a tailored frequency response with an upper midrange presence rise that adds crispness and clarity to speech. The cartridge utilizes a neodymium magnet for higher output and increased signal-to-noise ratio. An internal rubber isolation mount protects the VP64A microphone cartridge and minimizes handling noise. A water-resistant mesh grille allows the microphone to be used during the most challenging weather conditions. The supplied windscreen further reduces "pop" and wind noise. (Cable not included).
