Nady SP-5 Dynamic Cardioid Neodymium Mic Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been a semi-pro musician & sound guy for about 25 years, and have used a lot of mics. EVs, AKGs, various condensers, and of course, the venerable Shure SM-57s, 58s, and the "Beta" series.

The Nady SP-5 is a no-brainer for 10 bucks. It's not a Shure Beta 58, but for $10, you're going to be hard pressed to do better. Sound is full and punchy with vocals, just like it should be with a good dynamic mic, feedback rejection is good, and it's built well, too. It's a pretty good mic, and not just "for the money". I'd say quality-wise, it's comparable to the Peavey & Shure mics in the $40-$60 range.

Of course the king of the budget mics is the Behringer XM8500. These are the equal to a Shure Beta 58, (a $150 mic) for $20!

Thanks to deals like these, nowadays even the most financially strapped garage band can stock up on decent mics for chump change. I remember only a few yearsago when $10 or $20 would get you a cheap plastic hunk of junk tape recorder mic from Radio Shack or Wal-Mart. How times have changed!
