The microphone impresses my daughter (7) in particular:
You can both songs on CD, cassette or radio but also sing "solo" (sep. Position of the function switch is equal to "CD", which, however, at first a little hard for you "meet" was about). But the "solo singing" works the same way, when the switch to CD / cassette is but in each case the pause button is pressed - then it roars but a little. The microphone has a good sound. Moreover, a separate on / off switch is available directly at the microphone - so it must not always be marked when it is not needed (if it is turned on but not in use, it roars of course).
The recording function on tape is also great: it is the sound of CD / cassette / radio recorded together with the sound from the microphone (switched on unless otherwise just only from the sound source in each set). If only the sound from the microphone is recorded, the function switches can be reset to (only) "micro".
On the strong noise of recorded cassettes I have to but probably accustomed again (The test for admission, however, was about 30 years old; -). ...).
Also playing purchased cassettes with radio plays roars of course - but no more than its predecessor (a Sony CD-cassette player). The existing cassettes have all but also already a few years under their belts ...
When (old) Sony, however, was both in standy-by mode and after switching off a strong and very unpleasant noise heard (of it to which outlet or cable with which he was connected to the power independently). This "noise power" both in stand-by mode and then, when the function switch is set to "Off", I take the Sound Master barely noticed.
For me this was an important criterion: I do not want that (especially at night) is to hear an annoying "continuous noise" when the CD belonged to an end and possibly even the off button is pressed. So far I had solved that with a separate power strip with on / off switch. But this noise probably depends not only on the device + supplied cable but sometimes also by external factors.
The radio reception means of short telescopic antenna is functioning properly. The tuning is done with rotary knob. However, the main effort is currently not in radio mode.
In short: is runherum are satisfied. Is as it announced in the product description - really great for "amateur entertainers".
