This is basically a Shure Sm58 for less money. In fact, some could say that it sounds better, due to having more presence for vocals. May not be good for recording guitar, but that's not my expertise. Does however need a lot of gain on your preamp. I almost have my interface's gain cranked to get a loud enough signal. Any more and it'll start having feedback.

I use this microphone for voice recordings. I connected it to an Alesis Multimix4. I record with a AVID ProTools.
To reach an acceptable level, I had to adjust gain on this mic is 80%, and volume is at 80% as well. That is pretty high. And for a directional mic, it picks up a lot of noise behind me, and in the other room!
To get good volume and resonance, I have to be 2 inches away from the mic.
It is a good mic for beginners. If you have a little bit of money to spare, get a more expensive mic.

Just bought this mic at L&M for 99$ and comes with a 25ft XLR cable!!!! You won't believe me when I tell that this mic out performs my SM58. I set up my PA, used the same input, same levels, same cable and just switched the mic's out to compare....the Apex wins.....however, it could be my 58 is about 5yrs old but hey......bang for your buck.... buy this mic. You won't be disappointed!

Like all Apex products, this is an excellent alternative to the big brands, at nearly half the price. Very good quality. I challenge anyone to find a difference in the sound between this mic and the SM-58!

I have a Behringer Wireless Dual ULM202USB microphone which picks up a lot of feedback from the speakers and causes distortion plus didn't give the promised 30 hours of battery life. So I bought this Apex 381 mainly because the Shure58 brand new was too expensive (like $150 + $25 with a XLR cable). L&M Mississauga gave me a good deal on a used Apex 381 (for $40 with a free XLR cable and microphone clip too). Just too bad that they did not have a used SM58. Apex 381 provides so-so performance . Thankfully no feedback but have to literally put your lips to the microphone.to even be heard. You won't even be heard even at a one inch distance. It only delivers limited vocal power. I was a bit disappointed. For my money I would buy a SM58 but the wireless type. I've used the SM58 wireless at my karaoke group and it is an awesome microphone. The downside is that the SM58 wireless microphone starts at $700 + including tax.........Ouch

I purchased two of these to add to my karaoke setup. I must say that using these Apex 381's alongside the Shure SM58's I cannot hear much of a difference (even if most reviews seem to favour the SM58). Certainly a great little mic for a karaoke setup, and for a good price.

I got this mic brand new from L&M. The customer service was exceptional. This was the best cheapest mic at their store. Forget about Recording Narration with this mic. If you want to use it for small family gatherings, then this product is for you. If you host bigger parties, then I suggest spend a little more and get a better mic.
