The Rockville pro mic kit 1 was created in response to a need we saw in the market for a very high quality microphone at an affordable price. We feel there are a lot of good mics around from reputable brands that sound great, but they are very expensive. When we looked at the cheaper ones on the market from both reputable and entry level brands; we were not impressed. We sent our product developers on a mic testing journey. A lot of our employees here at Rockville love to do karaoke, so it was not long before we found a mic that we all fell in love with! You may be asking yourself; so what makes this mic so good? Well, there are 3 main components that make a mic sound the way it does. The cartridge, the magnet, and the mic cable. Our mic uses an M-56 cartridge which has a neodymium magnet. This Particular combination of components supplies better sensitivity; which means your mouth will not have to be on the mic for it to pick up the sound. Our components supply more than Just a great pickup pattern, They also has very little background noise, and great tone. We pay a lot of attention to detail. We could have saved lots of money and got our cost down by including a cheap cable, but we know how important the cable is. We are very Passionate about our products and we really have a lot of respect for our customer’s standards. For this reason, we included in this package a 100 % OFC copper cable. There is no aluminum in this cable! This means the cable will last longer and will sound A Lot better. Ultimately what you get Is a distortion free signal. In addition we use a true gauge mic cable with proper thickness. The body of the microphone is also something we paid a lot of attention too. We did not want it to be too light and feel cheap. We made a nice solid metal microphone. It has a great feel to it. We could have went with plastic or cheaper metal, but we wanted to create a mic that we ourselves would want to use.
