Picked up some more "drunk mics" today. Yeah,yeah, I know: " We don't do drunk mics. Only Senns and Shure Betas for us! ... Yada... Yada". Well, being a good businessman, I have an aversion to handing 4-600+ mics to drunks so they can scream, spit into them, and bounce them off the floor. I dunno- call me picky....
Anyway, the drunks used to get a Pyle that was made out of STEEL, sounded ok, and was virtually unbreakable. 8 channel UHF and still good even with the new ban.
The last several months I have been working a place that, um, requires more than 1 drunk mic.
I just bought a brand that I had never heard of on a lark- GTD Audio. At the price I paid, I figured if they really sucked I could give them to someone for home use....
Well, they don't suck. 100 channels up to 950mhz, sound clear ( but won't ever be confused with Shures), 200 ft range, 2 balanced or one 1/4" mixed unbalanced, separate volume and indicators, backlit LCD displays on transmitters AND mics, and solidly built. They also have a nice "auto-sync" option. No little tweeker for channel changes. An up/down changer on the receiver, and an infrared port on the mic. Hit sync, and the mic (transmitter) channel is automatically matched to the receiver. Sound familiar?
This one is a dual mic rig. Would you believe $149? Now THAT'S a drunk mic...
Not a Shure or Senn, but equal to any Audio Technica I've heard, and BETTER sound then a top Samson.
Found it on E-bay.
I, for one, am surprised as hell to get more than my money's worth for a change.
Note: Just passing on happy info. I am in no way associated with or know this company, and am only passing on MY experience with this product- not endorsing...
EDIT: My oops. I thought I posted this in "Gear Heads" - sorry.
