Review on JK MIC J 044 Microphone Recording by Erin Dudley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not a professional microphone, but close enough to clean up.

I used this with my Audio Technica lavalier mic (35 years in pro video). It has noticeably more noise and is comparatively muted. I was able to remove almost all of the noise in Adobe Audition and use the channel EQ in Final Cut Pro X to make a very accurate comparison (when I connected both mics together and recorded the same source). Close enough that I'm not afraid to use the mic for professional work after cleaning it. It's a spare that I keep in my bag in case something breaks. I bought a Rode XLR adapter for this. Doesn't fit exactly, but I glued it on and it doesn't click or buzz. Loves a 24V phantom but is mute with no phantom or 48V phantom.

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
