## Description

Professional XLR mic with cardioid pickup, 50Hz-15kHz response, and rugged metal construction for clear, distortion-free sound in studio and live performances.

Review: Great value - Great quality and very decent sound for only £13, perfect for karaoke if you have a karaoke speaker to go with it, as it had a case and is a cardiod pattern. Definitely would recommend if you can get it for £13
Review: Great mic - Real Alternative to More Expensive Offerings! - Great little mic for the price! It was listed on desertcart UK for around £14 at the time I bought it though. Still fantastic value that for the money vs sound quality! It is comparable to an SM58 from Shure as the frequency response is similar to the 58 and the build quality isn't bad at all for the money ( it won't break but if it does buy another). You get a three- year guarantee so you're onto a winner. There's no need for any phantom power as the mic is a dynamic mic with a cardioid polar pattern (picks sound up from the front mainly with quite a steep drop off at the sides). There's no on / off switch on this mic - no proper mic such as this should have one anyway as it means that the user could switch the mic off mid-recording!! The case and mic clip aren't bad either but, there's no XLR cable included - buy a stagg one they're cheap enough on here. I have an SM58 too and was put off buying further 58's due to the price vs my use case ( I produce spoken word recordings for radio - I'm not a singer) My signal chain: XM8500 via XLR into the input of an ART Tube MP Tube Pre Amp with 20db pad enabled and phase inversion disabled. The output from the tube amp is then fed into the input of my Focusrite Scarlet Solo audio interface via a further XLR cable. The audio then goes into my iMac via USB and is recorded into Audacity raking care not to clip the audio at any stage of the Sinaloa chain. I originally got the Tube amp to add extra gain to the signal from my SM58 as that was a bit low, but I still use it with the XM8500 and in fact just swapped the mics over when the XM8500 arrived and haven't gone back since. I'm not beating meant to Shure - they make a fantastic mic but for those on a budget the XM8500 is a good option! Don't be fooled by the name sounding a bit like the more expensive mic - it's not a cheap copy - it IS a GREAT mic in it's own right. I probably won't buy another 58 again now that I've discovered this alternative!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does this microphone need a phantom power supply so you can plug it into a computer?**
A: does not need power supply.  You can connect it to computer but you need an adapter as the plug it comes with is to large to connect to the computer headphone socket.

**Q: Does this mic connect to male XLR cable**
A: As with all mics, you plug the female end of your XLR cable into the microphone and then plug the male end of the XLR cable into your mixer/interface/recorder/amp.

**Q: Does this mic have an on/off switch? Thanks**
A: No, but as on/off switches for mics are considered "evil," I would not worry about it. Pro mics don't have on/off switches. For best results avoid XLR->USB directly. Use XLR->MIXER/XLR Interface with USB to computer. The XLR to Mixer/XLR interface will almost always have a much better A/D converter than an inline USB. If you're on a budget, UMC202/404HD are an excellent choice.

**Q: Can you please tell me how to get this to work there are no instructions**
A: You’ll need to plug this in using a 3 pin XLR to Jack cable. Just look up microphone cable. Then plug that into an amp. Switch on and speak/sing. Your away!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ You get what you pay for.
*by R***T on 12 March 2023*

For an entry level XLR mic this is a decent one, sound quality is good but not perfect, if you were to use this for streaming or recording you may want to introduce sound gates to remove the very minor distortion and static that can be produced when using this microphone. The microphone its self is solid construction and comes in a hard shell plastic case with foam lining keeping it safe, the head of the mic is removable so fitting a different head with built in pop filter is an option without modification. If you intend to use this microphone for streaming you will want to set up sound gates and a hot key to mute the microphone as there is no built in switch or button to mute but then again at this price point I wouldn't expect there to be. Overall good for the money, decent quality and solid construction.
