J K MIC-J 069 Earhook Headworn Headset Unidirectional Microphone Compatible with Shure Wireless Bodypack Transmitter - Mini XLR TA4F Plug

Satisfait du produit

We purchased the MIC-J to replace Shure SLX lavaliers that came with the bodypack transmitters. We tested the MIC-J by connecting it to the SLX bodypack and walking around the room (100x80ft). Using my experience I found the audio to be consistent, intelligible and a little boosted between 350hz-600hz. I invited someone else to listen in and their opinion mirrored my own.The earhooks are a great addition for keeping the device on your head which helps to keep the mic in place. The MIC-J is also fairly light so it doesn't become a burden on your head if you need to use it over a few hours.My headline says "Excellent... for the price!" because you have to take price into account. Our church also have a few Countryman E6 with exchangeable capsules that can be tailored to a person's voice while the MIC-J is a little colors/boosts the audio though that can be corrected with a decent PEQ. The windscreen over the mic is a cheap piece of some kinda material which reminds me of things from the late 70's and it really serves no good purpose.Overall the device reminds me (both construction wise and vocal reproduction) or a decent, mid-range, hand held mic. It does its job well; it is not as good as the E6 but only costs a fraction of the price. It is a great replacement for the omni-directional Shure lavalier mic and I am more than pleased with the purchase. I hope to have a video review of the MIC-J online in a few weeks.

I may not have given this product a fair chance but for our situation it's a no. We tried it with a Shure blx4 wireless set up (which is not a super high quality system but works for us right now). Smaller church, we don't mind spending money of quality but also always looking for a decent find at a decent price point. I was nervous when only paying I think $36 or something like that for it and... The sound quality and appearance is definitely $36. I would say for an auctioneer or maybe an event where sound quality is not so important this could work. Also the product is quite bulky and unsightly. I hate giving poor reviews. Bottom line, it worked but poor sound quality and I was expecting something slimmer and less noticable. May have been wishful thinking on my end so take this review with a grain of salt.

I have reviewed these before but they definitely deserve another.Recently I had the opportunity to compare directly to the famous Countryman E6. Well .... it was a completely unfair competition .... the JK won hands down. Better sound. Less (virtually no) feedback. More output. The church pastor asked the price, after spending 300+ on the Countryman, and was incredulous when I told him the low price.I think Countryman is far overrated and overpriced. No microphone is worth that kind of money and JK proves it. It is NOT bulky at all, and the included windscreens are the same quality as SHURE, Audio Technica or any others. The Countryman required a lot of EQ while the JK needed almost none. The bendable mini gooseneck is FAR superior to the stiff boom style.Some people have "high price awe" and are disparaging about anything that they consider cheap, but these little mics prove that you don’t need to spend a lot to get good quality, and in this case, great quality.

Works well and sounds good. The feature I particularly like is the flexible gooseneck mic boom. It is very pliable, making it easy to position with the fear of breaking it like the expensive competition. I am ordering a second one for expanded use. The first one is still going strong since put in use about 9 months ago, week in week out.
