Karaoke Microphone for Singing (K6)

This mic is insane for the price! I have a few mics for my home studio and i wanted a mic that was inexpensive for going out and about and for £19.99 I thought I would try it. Its really responsive (a bit bassy starting at 50hz) but a good cardioid mic. It really cut out the background noise a lot!! It reminds me of the Audio Technica Pro 41 in its style, with the karaoke style on/off switch on the body. The cable is sooooo long (4.5m) which is great and perfect for thise who need to be away from a mixer, like a presentation, an interview or say a wedding speech. The user guide inside the box is actually really well written and I like the presentation of it. A brilliant surprise is that if you register the mic with Fifine you get a 2year warranty with them. For £19.99, you’d be mad not to get this!

I hesitated buying this mike, there's so much choice available. What swayed me is the description of the cable, it is quality and I have made the right decision, as it is very sturdy and long enough to move freely. The sound quality is excellent compared to other mikes I have, so great purchase.

The FiFine K6 is a dynamic vocal microphone that has the characteristics of a cardioid pickup pattern, smooth frequency range (from 50 to 20 kHz), low distortion for clean sound output. Sturdy and robust metal construction, it is tailored for spoken word, vocals, and some instruments. It is supplied with a 3-pin XLR female to 1/4" microphone cable, which is protected by two-tire PVC. The total length is 14.8ft, long enough to move unimpeded. I have tested this microphone through an RME Babyface Pro preamps into Cubase Pro 10 in order to hear the exact sound of the microphone in a studio environment. This microphone is not best suited to a recording environment, and is better used as a live microphone. I have also tested this microphone in a live set up using an AER 40 watt amp (without reverb), using Ollie Carter (singer/songwriter) to test and compare alongside the industry standard Shure SM58. The Sound of the amp was recorded using a Schoeps CMC6 Mk5 (omni) for a transparent recording with no colouration of sound. Verdict: This microphone is targeted at the karaoke singer, or announcements via PA. Spoken words through a PA or amplification system. Works well also with backing tracks, in medium to small performance venues. There is a flattering frequency boost in the lower to lower mid frequency. This suits it target audience but this colouration would not be suitable for a more professionaly trained voice. For the money (£19.99 May 21019) this is a well constructed, flattering microphone with the advantage of an On/Off switch and long decent enough quality cable with a 1/4 inch jack. Ideal for a simple plug and play singer! A Bargain!

sounding good nice cable length good value for money

This mic is durable, easy to hold (feels light in your hand) and for a budget mic is great. The sound quality is good, and perfect for a first time mic for speaking, karaoke or singing. Coming with an XLR/ quarter inch jack lead adds to the value of the package. I'd also suggest it for school music departments for bulk buying, as dropping it on hard surfaces wouldn't effect it.

Good quality for price

Sounded great when performing at an open mic. Even sound engineer commented. However, I think it could benefit with using a foam cover on it

wonderful mic for gigs for singers and DJs
