Re: Budget earset mics


First quick test of the Pyle PMHMS20 earset/headset mics. The headset and boom assembly is actually kind of good. It's made of a stiffer springer metal than a Countryman or the AT 892, that maybe good or maybe not. The cable has that cheap plastic feel to it and the packaging kinks in the cable has not smoothed out yet. I made a short adapter cable going from the Hirose AT connector to the TA4M connector. In the quick test directly going back and forth between an AT 892 and the Pyle, the Pyle needs work in that 250hz low mid area, it started taking off as soon as I unmuted it. Via PFL I had the levels fairly matched between the two. Time did not allow to ring it out and work with it more.

With the adapter cable it brings the cost up to $40 per mic. Even if the mics just don't do it I'll still have a couple of handy AT to Shure adapter cables!
