Review: Use your karaoke app with an external speaker instead of
headphones! - I've been looking for an XLR mic that I could use
with my Smule Karaoke Sing app in conjunction with an iRig-pre
adapter. Seems like overkill, I know but it's really not. Be
patient and hear me out. Let me explain. First, I cannot sing
into a pair of earbuds. They still sound good but they don't feel
right. A handheld or standup mic is always the way to go. Now, in
order to use these apps you have to have an earbud or wired
headphones so you can hear the music. You can't really plug into
an external speaker and listen to the music while singing into
the app with standard headphones or mics.. Doing so will cause
severe sound distortion as the mic picks up sound coming from the
external speakers which then gets picked up by the mic and then
then gets transmitted back to speakers again, which the mic then
picks up again. It's a continuing cycle of snowballing
distortion. However, there are times I WANT to use an external
speaker so that I can use the app to perform as if it were a
stand alone karaoke machine. This IS the only mic (of this
acoustic and build quality) that allows me to that. Why? Because
it does a very good job of only picking up your voice coming out
of your mouth. You can increase the volume of the external
speakers to a reasonably high volume and the mic won't pick it
up. There is hardly any distortion depending on how loud the
external speaker is. I initially got the SM58 but it was a little
to muddled and bassy for my voice type so I returned it for this
based on reviews. I don't regret it...pricey yes, but it's a long
term investment which will gives many years of pleasure and
satisfaction as it beats the SM 58 in sound quality and external
sound isolation. You can hear and assess the sound quality of
this mic for yourself, utilizing the aforementioned setup with no
headphones, using an external speaker/monitor only, by listening
to some of the songs I've done using this mic on Smule Sing
karaoke app profile name @RichPaterno. You can also just go the
Smule.com website and search for my profile name and click on the
MOST RECENT videos tab where I have used this mic. It has the
most gorgeous sound OMG!
