Radias mic bust! Where for replacement?

Post by TrrP »

Hi Peeps,

What's up forum? The included microphone for the Radias is bust. Does anyone know where I can order a new one if that is possible? By the way I live in Europe (The Netherlands) So ordering from the US is not so easy.

If not does anyone know of a compatible microphone that can be plugged into the Radias' special 'condensor mic' socket.

Thank you very much. :D

Hi TrrP,

I dont know of similar mics even if there must be some. The VP-770 mic has an XLR connector. Maybe your current music store has something that is compatible. To get a replace for the Radias headset mic I would ask KORG support in Germany or UK.
If you have a dynamic mic you can use the input 2, setting the switch to the indicated position.

Only a Radias, VP-770, SP-170S and iPad2

I had the same problem and had to order through Guitar Center, for mine. Korg would not ship me one. I had to go through an authorized distributor for R3 mic. I could not find a goose-neck mic anywhere online for less than $100. It only cost me $30 in total for the R3 XLR mic.
Korg R3, Roland SH-201, Roland MC-909, Novation Mininova, Novation Impulse 49, Korg EMX, and a bunch of VSTi's

I highly recommend that you do NOT buy the Radias or R3 mic, because they are crap compared to a regular SM58 or better vocal mic on a separate stand that is acoustically isolated from the keyboard and stage vibrations. Convenience does not = good.

Thanks for the replies peeps. I was thinking along the line of resell value when thinking about getting the official Radias mic, but come to think of it, why would I want to sell my Radias :wink:
I'll try to save up a bit and get a proper mic.
