  • Should I be mad or happy!
Well there's alot of hoopla about this Mic on here and on YouTube as well. I'm a freelance audio engineer lots of heavy duty Studios throughout the country every now and then I jump on here too talk about my opinion on these reviews. I guess the part that I'm I guess mad at is how this mic is a complete clone of a sm57 physically speaking anyway. So I guess I just have to put my loyalties to Fender aside for a minute and say this thing is ridiculous sounding. First of all a lot of people in studios do a modification of an sm-57 to make it transformerless so is to get a little bit more air and high-end in it, well this is already madr that way there's no Transformer in here so in essence this is a modded sm57 how does it sound? Okay here is the skinny on it ...does it sound as good as an sm57 for its usual applications which are from drum mics and electric guitar amplifiers? I'd say on the most part yes if I had to sway One Direction I'd say that the sm57 is a little bit better for that but hardly noticeable to the untrained ear. Now the question about vocals well now we're talking, I did an a/b test with this with midline Alesis preamps as far as a Neve1073 preamp and it is far better and Tighter for vocals than an sm57 that's all I'm going to say.focused clear bottom end how do they do it? who knows... I'm guessing that this is eventually going to go up in price, I'm guessing so I'd jump on it while you can... what am I doing well let's just say I'm buying a few more selling off some extraneous 57's don't go throwing them around on the stage like you can a fender.trwat them like a condenser and you'll be fine...feels well built though..good luck ... show more

  • Great gateway mic!
It’s obviously not an SM57, probably not even close, but for the price it is pretty amazing. Overall it feels lighter and not as sturdy than the Shure mic, but that would be a concern only if you plan on using it live. I bought it to record my acoustic guitar in stereo (paired with a Mackie condenser mic) and it does a very good job (after comp and EQ) it has a similar mid, 3k-ish boost as the 57, I’ve been using it on vocals a lot because it sounds “aggressive”, I would recommend this mic if you’re interested in home recordings, it works great on vocals, guitars and drums, I bought it for $20 or so… with that price you can’t go wrong, at the very least it proved I still love recording guitars and stuff enough to flesh out a hundred bucks and get a real SM57, it would be interesting to see how it holds up against the real thing! ... show more

  • You get a lot more than what you pay for with this one!
I bought this microphone simply and almost only because of its great price hoping it would not break on me, distort any sounds or cause impairing feedback while on stage. As a starting musician, my budget was very low and my only posible income came directly from playing a few gigs as a local dive bar, which didn't pay much, so when the time came to buy a microphone for my guitar amplifier my soul was set to buy a Shure SM-57 due to its undeniable reputation. However, I did not have $100 to spend solely on a microphone so as soon as I saw the Pyle-Pro PDMIC78 on my sugestions bar I was shocked to see a $10 option. I did not think twice about it as I pressed "Proceed to Checkout." Here is my opinion so far: FIRST IMPRESSION: The package came pretty quickly (under a week!) and is actually very neat (blue box with pictures and information written all over). First thing that you can see in the box is that the microphone is neatly and safely wrapped next to a cheap mic cable (XLR to 1/4"). To be fair, that cable stopped working after two years of severe abuse, which is not at all bad from a free cable that came with a $10 mic. The microphone itself closely resembles the praised SM-57 and is just as heavy. The PDMIC78 is made of metal (HEAVY metal, lol). Mine has been dropped several times from several heights and has not even dented; definitely great material. SOUND: In terms of how it sounds, it is possibly the closest I have ever heard to the actual SM-57 in this incredible price range! Don't get me wrong here, every microphone is different in some way and the quality of the SM-57 is not comparable to, say, an SM-7B, but as far as a $10 mic can go, the only defining difference between the PDMIC78 and the SM-57 is how much "gain" they capture. I'm not by any means a mic tech and have very basic to intermediate knowledge on how mics work, but when it comes to the mixer, the PDMIC78 requires about 3dB less in the gain control. Since I bought this microphone, its main use has been in front of an amp speaker. I use a considerably small amp (Blackstar HT-40) so my best bet is to mic up the speaker and set the controls however I need them to be. For a full two years the PDMIC78 has been the most reliable microphone in my rig, and I carry an SM-57 now to use the double-mic method. CURRENT USE: As mentioned above, I use the double-mic method on a 1x12" speaker cabinet. I am a total sound snob and when I play, I NEED my sound to be as perfect as I can possible get it. Because of that I have chosen to use two microphones and a direct line. So my rig goes like this: I plug in Blackstar's Emulated Out directly to the main console and use that as a basis for how I want to shape my tone, then I put the SM-57 directly towards the cone's sweetspot (every speaker has a different one; mine happens to be a little bit off the center) at about two to three inches from the grill cloth. After I play a bit with the mix between the direct and the Shure, I place the PDMIC78 aimed towards the sweetspot at an angle of around a radian or so from the cloth and move it a little bit further away from the SM-57 so as to get a few more tones coming from directly around that sweetspot. When I mix in the three, the direct line is about 4-5dB lower than the mics and has about -3dB on the high frequencies. I boost the low end of the SM-57 a tad bit (depends on the room) and work the mid sections mostly with the Pyle. I'm not using the mics for specific frequencies or so, but I do target what they can do best in they're position and compensate what they do worst. OVERALL: This mic has worked wonders in live and studio applications, and has earned an impressive reputation wherever it goes. Sound engineers and musicians alike have gotten speechless simply because of this microphone's versatile performance and incredible adaptability. I know for sure this mic will be on my rig for years to come, even as a professional musician. For the price listed on Amazon.com, this is a steal. However, A review with only good things to say and no drawbacks isn't a good review, it's just advertising. I really wish Pyle-Pro ditched the cheap cable the mic brought and sent a small protective pouch to safely store the mic in. It doesn't have to be leather (or whatever it is) like Shure makes them, but even a small canvas or microfiber pouch can help ease my mind when I put it inside a bag with clips and mics that could scratch it. Just a bit of help when it comes to caring for your product would be more than nice! Thank you for reading this review; Happy Shopping! ... show more

  • HARP PLAYERS
Bought this to chop and put into a 40’s Astatic JT-30 shell for harp… and as sacrilegious as it is to say… it has easily replaced a 99H86 Black CR, white CR, and MC-151 Crystal as my favorite mic build (for now). Responds great with pedals if that’s your bag, especially good response in an old Boss DM-3. All you need is a good transformer, gasket (don’t let the old timers bull**** you, electrical tape is perfectly fine), and you’re on your way. Specifically, the off axis rejection is superb. You won’t need to rely on your VC as often as you do with most aggressive hi-z vintage harp elements, even if you’re running stock 12ax7’s. If you’re “tubed down” to 12au7 in V1 you’ll be in breakup heaven. Very much like my Unidyne iii’s, the bottom end is what I was after and this puppy’s got it. Disassemble and chop it into a 520 or JT-30, or play it stock with a line matching transformer. These things freakin rip. (Note) you may want to swap the stock wiring out for some 22 Gauge stranded for signal safety. Contacts are soldered just fine, the wire is just hair-thin and prone to failure. ... show more

  • Great mic
Needed an affordable version of an SM57, and this did the trick. One guitarist uses an SM57, and there is no major difference in our separate recordings when I use the Pyle. I would recommend.

  • Great value for money.
Good mic, have it setup in front of a Rocker 32 and it sounds great. Light but sturdy feeling.
