Grab it before they hike the price. - Have been browsing countless sites and reviewing various brands and specifications of microphones, then accidentally stumbled upon this product. Then going through so many reviews and videos all overwhelmingly positive, decided to go ahead and get this mic. There so many excellent reviews about this mic and mine will be lost in the endless response and comments, but I felt that I should give my views. Packing: Ergonomic packing. Solid plastic box with foam coated mic holder and clip. Quality:Did not disappoint. It's built solidly, full metal set up. Built to last considerably longer. Plugged into the Scarlett interface without Phantom power, very pleased to note that it picked very minimal background and white noice. If there are some feeble noice this could be very easily rectified. Voice recording is more prone to low ends, suitable for high pitched vocals. Though it sounds a little darker when one gets closer. An ideal distance 3 to 4 finger lengths will provide that full richness to the voice. The gain has to be set at 2 to 3 o'clock or litte more to get the desired results. Low gain sounds feeble, but could be post processed. To get benefits from proximity effect, using a wind screen or pop filter would be more sensible, it not only blocks plosives but also protects the mic from spits and moisture. It's better not to have a on and off switch. These are prone to wear and tear. Handling noice is little on the higher side when hand held. Use a stand or boom arm. PROS: Fantastic for the price. :Great entry level mic. :Sounds full and warm that will be ideal for many. : Comparable to many higher end mics with a little tweak. CONS: So far None. Overall: A great cheap entry-level product suitable for Home studios, and live programs. You will be very pleased with the purchase. Go ahead. Review: Best in segment. - Mic feels very sturdy. Sounds very good vocals are crisp and clear Overall it looks soo good functionality is just plug and play. But there is a quality issues at xlr port the paint job is not good. But the port comes with gold plated pins that's a nice job. Overall value for money. ## Features - Dynamic vocal microphone with smooth mid-frequency presence rise for excellent voice projection - Ultra-wide frequency response for a brilliant and transparent sound - Extremely high signal output lets your voice cut through - Cardioid characteristic minimizes background noise and feedback - Shock mount system to cut down handling noise ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0002KZAKS | | Antenna Location | Singing | | Audible Noise | 70 Decibels | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,510 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #52 in Dynamic | | Box Contents | 1 Behringer XM8500 Dynamic Cardioid Microphone | | Brand | Behringer | | Brand Name | Behringer | | Colour | Others | | Compatible Devices | Audio Mixer, PA System | | Connectivity Technology | XLR | | Connector Type | XLR | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 10,990 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Others | | Frequency Response | 15 KHz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00689076749770 | | Impedance Unit of Measure | 50 Ohms | | Importer Contact Information | Alphatec Audio Video Pvt.

Male XLR will fit it! **Q: Does this Mic come with a cable that would plug into my laptop? If not can I buy one that is compatible? Thank you!** A: Sorry to say that it does not come with a cable you can plug directly into your computer. But you can get a XLR(female) to 3.5 mm cable. Bad sound quality though! I would suggest buying a nice USB microphone, or USB audio interface you can can plug any mic in,whether it be condenser,dynamic, or ribbon. Which is most audio interfaces? Connect audio interface to computers' USB slot and then connect XM8500 to the audio interface mic input. Hope this helped! **Q: Does it come with a mic mount for the stand?** A: Yes it comes with a microphone adapter/clip and the 3/8" (european) metal adapter it comes with is already screwed into the mount. To use it on a 5/8" stand (USA) you need to unscrew it with a dime or something. The downside is that the 5/8" threads are plastic. Another downside is that the mount seems too small and tight even though it says "20-30mm" on it. Others have forced it on and said that it becomes a little looser over time. I don't want it to snap on me and cannot have it that tight so I just heated it up with a heat gun to make it looser. Now it's much more like a factory fit yet still very tight. **Q: What cable do you need to plug in into a guitar amp?** A: this, like almost all mics made to day, set up for low impedance 3 prong xlr cables. if you want to plug it into an amp (keyboard amp, possibly a bass amp, but reg guitar amps will very poor for this purpose- they are manufactured for electric guitar-electronic signature for a guitar is MUCH different than voice) with a 1/4 inch connector, you would need a transforming adapter transforming low impedance or "low z" to high impedance or "hi z". hosa and other manufactures make this. there are also special impedance matching "boxes" that do the same thing, but they require a cable on each side, xlr on one side, 1/4' on the other. and they can be 40 bucks rather than impedance transforming adapter. I think that the Hosa brand adapter is available thru amazon for less than 20 dollars. Don't bother trying to plug it into an electric guitar amp, will sound terrible. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top entry level Dynamic XLR mic out there.

Overall value for money. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality studio recording in home environment. *by D***J on 19 January 2020* I've been in music for 2 years. I bought a Samson C-01 condenser mic for my studio as a start up mic which is an excellent mic for its price. But the problem with all the condenser mic is that it picks up too much of the room. If our room is not properly acoustic treated it will pickup lot of reverb and ambience of the room. But for budget home studio owners like us it's too expensive to treat our room. We mostly record only vocals and use VST instruments for background music. So we need the vocal recording dry (without reverb) so that we can properly fit it into the mix. I was looking for lot of cheap solutions and finally decided to buy a dynamic mic in budget. Now coming to xm8500. This is the best budget dynamic mic you can get , period. The build quality is superb. Would love to have a on/off switch but it's ok. Now the main part, sound quality. As a dynamic mic the first thing you expect is low self noise and xm8500 is brilliant. Then as expected it picked up all my vocals really dry (without reverb) which is what you need for studio quality recording. The frequency response is not entirely flat. But u can work it out with the help of little EQ. Final verdict. If you are home studio owner in less than favourable acoustic environment just go for this mic it won't disappoint you. Record your vocals use proper EQ , compression and reverb and no one will know you are using low cost dynamic mic. This will be really good on vocals and percussive instruments like drums. If you want record bass or high frequency instruments like flute better go for a condenser mic. ## Frequently Bought Together - Behringer XM8500, Wired Microphone, Cardioid, 20dB, 3000Hz, 1000Hz, 1000mV, 1000nV, 1000pV, 1000Typ, 1000W - Amazon Basics XLR Male to Female Microphone Cable for Speaker or PA System, All Copper Conductors, 6MM PVC Jacket, 6 Foot, Black - LEFXMOPHY XM8500 Pop Flter, Windscreen Replacement for Behringer XM8500 Microphone Cover, Black Noise-cancellation Windsock Cover 3-pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/64787829-behringer-xm8500-xlr-microphone-unidirectional](https://www.desertcart.at/products/64787829-behringer-xm8500-xlr-microphone-unidirectional) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
