Moving coil dynamic mic with ON/OFF switch
No output transformer. The capsule is wired to the 2nd and 3rd XLR pins so the mic can't be damaged by phantom power.
OVERALL OPINION
I've owned it for six or seven years (it was my first mic). In the beginning, I used it for vocals...
Pros: Reliable (seven years of rehearsals and P.A. use under very demanding conditions - mud, moisture, shocks, freezing temperatures, etc.). I don't like the on/off switch but it's convenient for P.A. applications when nobody stands behind the mixer and the singer takes the mic by the grid... On the contrary, it's a problem when...…

Pros: Reliable (seven years of rehearsals and P.A. use under very demanding conditions - mud, moisture, shocks, freezing temperatures, etc.). I don't like the on/off switch but it's convenient for P.A. applications when nobody stands behind the mixer and the singer takes the mic by the grid... On the contrary, it's a problem when a singer turns it off and forgets to turn it on again while staring at the sound engineer...
Cons: The sound is a but muddy and not very clear in the high-end but it's quite warm. The proximity effect is very audible, which can lead to problems with male vocals. But considering its price, it sounds much better than those 57 or 58 Chinese copies. But it would be exaggerated to say it sounds like a real SM58... (I'm not a SM58 fan but it's definitely a reference product).
I bought it pretty cheap at the time and it gave me a good return on investment. Now I use it as talkback mic.
Forget it for professional applications...
It's as sturdy as an SM58...
If I had to made a choice between this mic and a PG58, I would choose this one...
So I give it a 6 since it has nothing special but you get two XM2000S for the price of a PG58...

OVERALL OPINION
Despite my inexperience, I am rather pleased with this choice. I use it as microphone singing, and he is more than enough. Now some will say that I really did not have ears ...
Considering the price, it is hard to beat!

Micro Dynamics bit onreux
OVERALL OPINION
I possde a microphone in my park as a backup or for vocals. Our answer to the author of Previous think this mic is not bad at all for the price, the pop filter Intgr is a little weak and micro lacks a little clarity but for the price, there is no equivalent on the market. You can buy it without a problem you will not be at all of the diffrence with the SM58, for example, is not standard.

Used for singing. Versatile dynamic mic.
OVERALL OPINION
4 years of loyal service.
It's really a nice grain on soft male voice (pop rock) and offers a beautiful prsence when it is well positioned and the prampli derrire is hot!
I have also an SM58 and an AKG C 2.
Excellent price quality ratio (I prfre the XM SM58, that says it all ...)
I remake that choice without any problem. This is a super micro.
