    A killing this micro !!! compar even a Beta-58 shure it a hit.
    Okay it was not shure brilliance (or lack of heat shure) ...
    This is less prcis but not feedback has good cash (in bass drum kick, scratch amp ...)
    There's a brief me the inside !!!

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    Beringher is a super brand, of course the super pros will tell you otherwise, but everyone can not afford to between 150 and 1000 euros in microphones ...

    Especially for that price the 30 euro !!!!!!!!!!! one can have a sacred micro park, bright Beringher for home studio and as needed.

    Keep it up;))))

    I play a variety of styles; Jazz, Latin, Latin Jazz, Tejano, Blues, Funk, Rock and Country
    I enjoy good music, (hate rap).

    I heard about Behringer while touring with The Carmen Espinoza-Rodriquez Jazz Band. I fell in love with it and since have acquired more Behringer products. I paid $59.98 for a 3-pack through Musician's Friend.

    I do back-up vocals and the ULTRAVOICE XM8500 gives a very rich presents to my voice. It has a very low feedback response which is good when you need to output a lot of volume.

    ........nothing negative to say about this product.

    very durable. I gig no less than 12 times a month and this product has been right on it each time.... I am pretty hard on my gear, and so far, the ULTRAVOICE XM8500 is a very tough act!

    I completely, fullheartedly recommend this product to any vocalist whether you are lead or back-up.

    A handheld microphone for singer, a simple cardioid, but provides excellent voice and a warm transparent quality equivalent to a SHURE SM58!

    OVERALL OPINION

    From the first time I used micro I said "that's the microphone!" With a quality / price ratio totally amazing, the XM8500 is for information purposes the equivalent of a Shure SM58, which is worth at least five times the Behringer. Really ideal for a superb protection against feedback and a double pop filter complement an already outstanding. Recommended without hesitation.

    Professional dynamic microphone
    Frequency drives range: 50 Hz - 15 kHz for clear voices and a High Definition
    Cell cardiod for excellent rejection of feedback and background noise
    Chssis mtal in a rugged reliability and maximum protection Electromagnetic
    Symtrique output level XLR lev
    Double pop filter for attnuer the hiss and pops

    OVERALL OPINION

    Why buy an SM58 if the XM8500 is for a product similar to the SM58 for CHARACTERISTICS, there is no better! For those who want a good cheap dynamic mic that want to buy an SM58, the XM8500 has a better qualitprix.

    Best micro t given to me to try, a massacre, a bloody heat, sound reproduction out of the ordinary, but good. Pquerettes to the Shure SM58, it can not stop that and it will be the one. Highly recommended and without breaking the bank. I'm very happy! 48 micro volts EXTRAORDINARY song. Loran4444 not expensive, I do not bump Behr and I can assure you that in my installation, it has great warmth and visited the grave is all that is correct. Evidence sometimes DLIR, I mtal of death with a big hollow voice and it comes out well trs. Happening to me in Mayenne I make you see the possibilities for this microphone, it will be chtit beef (hh!).

I'll get a variety Entire whatever seems to me unstoppable, its weight and its grip immediately reassure its good performance in any situation, whether live or in studio.

    His report qualitprix not say I use essentielelment for the movie and karaoke currently no regrets. Note that in such public entertainment, the microphones are not immune from chutte ... So be it's better than a SM58 XM8500 that makes a fall, not c is in the robustness cause is the price ....

    If like me you do the animation karaoke spread the XM8500, the ones you see for the first time that 'moo' or 'screaming' into the microphone, or who n'on really no talent for song is not dvaloriser people it's just out of respect of hardware

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 2 months. No complaints. It is powerful! It does not feedback easily and that is more significant.
    Compared with an SM58, I'll be realistic, it does not sound the same. It is less brilliant but has more fishing (comparsaison made in the studio with professional monitoring system). Compared to the Shure, it has a little bump in the low midrange that some may not love too much, but it depends on the type of voice which is taken up.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use this mic for a year let's say, and I admit that the quality-price ratio is unbeatable. I am satisfied with TRS. Against it by a small diffrence with her boyfriend the SM58 is that priest a little more, and lacks a drop of correctable with qualizer aige. For the BPS and the same live that price forget the SM. on the other hand for recording, even a model of the "pops" are fairly low in the teachers.
    For my future live recording I surround myself with Bta prfrerai 58. But for now it dpanne great!

    Micro dynamic economic and efficient.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I am always trsmfiant Beringher of the gard ... but I used this mic for years to live song: pretty good output level, balance due and certainly working with a q, hanging low enough to feedback because it is directional trs ( it's clear we need to talk, sing in front and quite close to the grid).
    Default: for use in live concert lover, no default.
    Quality: in front of microphones shure Conima home (PG48) I prfre far this micro Beringher.
