Best Wired Mics

Best use of internal mics.

Best arm for holding mics

Worth every cent. Best sound quality yet from a wired mic.

If you have a few mics (wireless or wired) and need something light and compact to protect and carry them around, then this is a great value. I have 4 wireless handheld mics, a body pack and a headworn mic. It all fits nicely in the bag with room for a DI box or other small items. The pouch is handy for batteries or miscellaneous items.

I didn't realize this would not work for the wireless SM58 mics. If you have a hard-wired SM58 mic, this is a great little clip. But if using wireless, you'll need a larger clip.

This is a very simply and reliable way to covert your conventional dynamic wired mics to wireless set-up. The connection is solid and the quality of sound is just fantastic!

I'm a videographer for a PR firm in Atlanta, and we produce a lot of corporate videos and interviews. This mic has been a goliath step forward from the wired lavs and wireless lavs we used to employ during our video sessions. The wired mics produced a very mute and flat tone, and the wireless lavs (which were top of the line Sennheiser sets) produced God-awful hiss and feedback from time to time. When you want to produce professional quality videos, the last thing you want is ugly hiss or poor quality audio to go with your good quality video footage. Enter the Audio Technica AT897 shotgun mic. This changes the way we shoot videos. We can shoot multiple subjects and not have to worry about wireless lav channel interference, hiss, feedback, and we don't have to yell 'CUT' when we suddenly hear interference. We can roll right through the whole interview and capture clean, crisp, consistent, and noiseless audio throughout the entire session. For the price tag on this mic, this is practically a steal. I've used $1K Rode shotgun mics and high end Sennheiser shotgun mics as well, and the AT897 stands up to the competition for sure! Love it. I'd get another one for sure!!

I needed 3 wired mics quickly and knew B&H could get them to me quickly. The question I had for myself was whether to buy Shure's SM58 known world wide for having an excellent reputation or the lesser priced SM48. Trusting Shure to not make a bad product, I bought 3 SM48s and had them by Christmas Eve for the worship service. I used all three in the service 1 for flute, 1 for clarinett, and one for piano. The sound was very good and the recording was the revelation of how good these mics really are. They sound terrific!

Huge upgrade from the H4N for this reason alone: it works with the Rode NTG2 and my wired lav mics WAY BETTER than the H4N. Not to mention the other positives like 4 XLR inputs. Main downside is that the screen is difficult to view in bright daylight. Still a happy customer so far.

I use Sony wireless to fill in the gaps left by wired mics in some situations. A hand-held microphone is a necessary part of a run-and-gun wireless kit. A plug-on device is more flexible, but heavy, bulky and unsightly on camera. Lavaliere mics are solid, but it's not always possible to put on beltpack and thread the wire, nor share it with others..
