Memorex MKA381 VHF Wireless Handheld Microphone

nice item, cant comment on quality, did not keep item due to not needing it after hiring a dj.

Does not work. I ordered 3 of these things and none of them work. not sure why. I think the model is poorly made and the battery does not make constant contact. I cuts out constantly.

This microphone in theory, is a good deal. However, like most people, I have a karaoke player with only microphone inputs and this microphone performed poorly (fuzzy). And I am not about to go out and buy a new karaoke machine just for this wireless microphone, so it only gets 2 stars from me. The cords are not very long either, so you can't move the receiver very far from the karaoke machine either.Too bad, affordable wireless microphones are hard to find (outside of the low-quality ones offered on ebay). If most karaoke players had line inputs, I would give this particular mic 4 out of 5 stars.

I work professionally as an audiovisual technician, and grabbed this mic on the cheap because I throw an annual karaoke event using mostly wired equipment; I'm accustomed to using high-end Shure wireless kits from day to day, but I can't afford those for my little shindigs!My first impression is that this is not a bad product for the money at all. The transmitter (microphone) takes one nine-volt battery, while the receiver (base) can either be plugged into an outlet or fitted with a pair of AA batteries. The manual doesn't specify battery life, and I haven't stress tested that part yet. The kit comes with a patch cord that is 1/8-inch "mini" to quarter-inch. The mini end plugs into the base.The range of the microphone is 7 meters, about 21 feet. The microphone works best when you're line-of-sight with the base (i.e. you're facing it), though I was able to get the microphone to transmit from my living room to my study-- only 15 feet, but around 2 corners. Be warned that if you like to dance and twirl or are otherwise not mostly facing the receiver, you'll experience some audio dropouts. It's not a big deal-- there aren't any horrible bursts of static-- but your voice will be momentarily muted. Placing the microphone base at the edge of the stage, with a cord run to the machine or mixer, would almost certainly minimize or eliminate audio dropouts.Another reviewer has complained that this mic is 'fuzzy.' I don't find that to be true, BUT BUT BUT-- the microphone outputs a line level signal, rather than the more common microphone level signal. Line level is lower-impedance and higher-level-- very generally speaking, a LOUDER signal than mic level, so if you make the mistake of plugging this microphone into a microphone-level input-- which many mixers and karaoke machines use primarily for microphones-- you'll undoubtedly encounter 'fuzziness', really just heavy distortion. If you get one of these, make sure you plug it into a LINE INPUT on your karaoke machine or mixer.My tech-head brain still has a couple of questions about this unit, though. You can't change the frequency on either the mic or the base. Does this mean that only one of these Memorex wireless kits can be used at a time, or could several be bought and used? I don't know this, and I'm scared to sink another $20 and test it out. Someone please buy two of these and report back! :-)

We have an earlier model which has been un use for several years. We wanted to find a comparable mike as a potential replacement because there are numerous people using it who did not want to relearn the set-up and/or use of the new microphone. We are all familiar with this model and the transition will be smooth.

I record music and I always make sure I have this microphone with me, because if I don't have this microphone with me the show is over. "I LOVE THIS MICROPHONE"!

This product is very good for parties that you are going to have Karaoke at!!!! It is very powerful!!!! It is also useful instead of carrying a cord around!!!! This would be great for anyone who likes to sing on a karaoke machine!!! It works on all karaoke machines and it does look a lot different but it is still good looking!!!! Thank you Target for carrying it at such a low, low, low cost!!! It would have cost me a whole lot more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!!!!!!!!

Makes loud noises and can not sign thru it.It is not worth the shipping send it back,lesson learned you get what you pay for.
