If you have a condenser mic and you're wondering if you can use it for live vocals, the answer is yes! However, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, condenser mics are more sensitive than other types of mics, so they will pick up more of the ambient noise in the room. This is why it's important to use a pop filter or windscreen to help reduce unwanted noise. Second, condenser mics require power, so you'll need to make sure your PA system has phantom power turned on. If you're not sure,
Do dynamic microphones wear out? No, dynamic microphones do not wear out. They are durable and can last for many years with proper care.
Dynamic microphones are designed to pick up sound from the source that is directly in front of them. This makes them ideal for use in live settings, where there is a lot of background noise. However, they can also pick up some background noise if the source is not in front of them.
Do singers use dynamic mics? The answer is yes, singers do use dynamic mics. In fact, dynamic mics are often used by singers because they are less expensive than other types of microphones and they are also more rugged, which is ideal for live performances.

It is THE benchmark for live sound and the hammer that should be in every live-sound toolbox since it is a very durable quality microphone that lasts practically forever, even when it is knocked around and moderately abused. There are microphones that sound better for particular applications, but the SM58 signals the point at which less expensive microphones are typically rubbish and more expensive (and possibly still less durable) better microphones are. Works well for vocals or as an instrument mic (the windscreen does have a *small* affect on the pickup pattern, but otherwise is identical to the SM57).Choose the model *without* an on/off switch. While they are at the soundboard troubleshooting, the person in charge of your soundboard will appreciate never having to deal with the singer turning off the microphone preventing vocals from being heard. The audience can also appreciate that! The lack of an on/off switch on microphones results in better performances.

This microphone is perfect for my voice and, as the title indicates, is considerably clearer than my Shure SM58. The mid-range and highs are prioritised over the lows, creating an extremely expressive sound that stands out against a musical background. Very minimal proximity effect; in order to emphasise lows, you had to be virtually directly over the microphone, which is, in my opinion, a good thing. It offers ample lows for a rich, complete sound. At any price, I was utterly satisfied with the sound, and I think it is a fantastic purchase at the listed price. Compared to the Shure SM58 and Sennheiser e835, I like it for practising! I haven't tried using it for recording yet.

Although this mic's reputation already precedes it, I'll add my praises. It would have saved me hundreds of hours of fiddling to get a good sound if I had one 25 years ago. The SM7B is a pro studio microphone of choice and a broadcast industry standard. It met a high standard when Michael Jackson utilized it in Thriller. Since this is a dynamic microphone rather than a condenser, expect the "proximity bump" and pick-up pattern of an SM57 or 58. These are obvious choices for podcasts, but I now rely on them for everything. We no longer struggle with the space; everything is basically plug-and-play. Others are correct in saying that you need a preamp that is aggressive, however for many of us, a solid state device like the DBX286 performs admirably. That mic and preamp combination will cost around what you'd pay for a good condenser, so it's not a lot of money (RODE NTK, etc). Those are fantastic to have, however I really enjoy using my SM7B.

I tried using a 1/4" mono to XLR adapter but that didn't work either when I was trying to get two mics with 1/4" mono jacks to operate with a mixer I owned. Still unsure if the original microphones are defective or the cheap adapters I bought. I had to spend a little bit more money to purchase this mic. When it started operating with my mixer right out of the box, without any hiccups or me wondering why it wasn't working, I was relieved and excited. It works excellent for the PA system at a gym application I use it for because of the way its "cardoid design" is designed to pick up sound. It performs a superb job of not picking up anything the PA's speakers are playing and solely picks up my voice. I have a mixer, so I can use the microphone to play music over existing music, simply make announcements for the entire gym so that everyone can hear them clearly, and even sing karaoke if I want to. Comes with a lovely soft carrying case, a "Shure" brand sticker, and its own clip that I suppose could easily screw onto a mic stand.

The Behringer XM8500 Behringer Ultravoice Xm8500 Dynamic Vocal Microphone, Cardioid is an excellent entry-level or travel mic that I've found to be a fantastic value. But it goes beyond that. It goes beyond being "good for the money." It simply just "good."How I Make Use of MicsI host many weekly instructional events, give speeches all over the world, and podcast. I use a variety of mics on different sound systems when I talk. Anyone who speaks frequently understands how important sound is, and the variability of different rooms and audio-amplification equipment can cause your sound quality to range significantly from place to venue. This is why you might occasionally want to bring your own microphones.There is also the podcasting angle, though. When you're traveling or on site, you might want to have a microphone on hand to record a variety of things, including podcast episodes, interviews, speeches, and so on. It's important to have your own equipment for those occasions when the place where you're speaking has subpar house equipment or when you just prefer your own gear for familiarity and consistency.Various MicrophonesI use too many mics to list for speaking. However, I frequently use the Shure SM58, Blue enCORE 100, EV RE320, and other models. I'm accustomed to the dependability and superior quality of the entry-level and premium mics. However, I needed a pricey microphone for a specific use that could withstand the abuses of frequent travel and rapid setup times.Reviewing the XM8500 Before BuyingI started looking at potential-useful microphones as a result. After considering product specifications, reviews from actual customers, and reviews based on video testing and comparison, I made the decision to give the Behringer XZM 8500 (Ultravoice) a shot. Even though I had pondered purchasing another travel-secondary mic more in the $50–100 range, the $20 price made the decision clear.First UseI bought the item and started using it right away. Truly fantastic, especially considering the cost. However, that isn't really the focus of this. I would have said the same thing if I had paid the Shure SM58, the industry-standard handheld for all purposes, $100 instead. Compared to the Shure, this mic has a slightly brighter (in a good way) tone that gives your voice a little more pop. Despite not requiring phantom power, it is astonishingly clear and crisp, and it has remarkable volume. Of course, you'll hear some of that in a room with ambient noise. But you can actually work on sound and recording projects in a pretty peaceful setting.Build ExcellenceThis microphone arrived in a respectable, solidly snapping, foam-protected semi-hard case. In order to have at least a means to attach the microphone to an input or recording source, I even stuffed a short 6' mic cable within the foam case where the microphone fits perfectly. A mic holder designed for the mic is included. It felt like it wouldn't fit the mic or would harm it, so at first I believed it was a mismatch. The holder provided an amazingly solid grasp on the mic without (so far) any scratching of the exterior after I simply manhandled it into place and discovered it is intended to 'fit' it.The microphone is finely balanced, probably on par with or better than the comparable Shure. All of its exposed pieces are made of metal, and it feels and appears magnificent. No one would think it wasn't a $50–100 microphone. Simply put, it's impressive. It's a no-lose situation, therefore I'm certain I'll buy one or two more Behringer XM8500s in the future at this pricing and quality level.

Quite affordable when compared to the Shure SM58. Shure has higher bass output, thus it isn't as good. Additionally, the Shure build quality is superior. Just not the same machining quality and timbre as the Shure model, not significantly different. The microphone's internal unbalanced wiring is the most crucial fact to understand. The capsule is attached to pin 1, while the case is connected to pins 3 and 1. If you plan to use this with a professional setup, you must cut the bridge between pins 1 and 3 and resolder the capsule output to pin 3. If you don't, phantom power circuits will have issues, and balanced circuit operation won't provide noise rejection. Additionally, the supplied mic wire is insulated on just one conductor. Therefore, you cannot simply remove the 1/4" and insert an XLR male in its place. You must purchase a new mic wire.A mic cable is $10, and if you know what you're doing, fixing the connections should only take you ten minutes. Nevertheless, I gave it four stars. For use at a school where kids might suffer physical harm or loss, we bought 30 of these. For only 25% of the expense, the children will receive an education that is comparable to SM58. Cost is a major concern. Again, these are inferior to the Shure offering but are far less expensive. The unbalancing should have been done at the 1/4" tip sleeve connector and shielded twisted pair cable would have been preferable. This would have made it possible to use the microphone and cord with standard cables in professional PA systems without modification or by removing the 1/4" connector and replacing it with an XLR.

First of all, those of you who are making the negative comments are not reading the microphone's specifications. Secondly, this particular microphone (42BK) is composed of plastic, and Pyle also makes one that comes with a metal housing. Conduct your research! I purchased this microphone because I wanted a retro, affordable option for Skype, chat, and Echolink (Internet based Amateur Radio Communications program). This mic is suitable for that use. This microphone works perfectly and my voice is audible to the other person when I set it up and changed the volume levels on my soundcard. I've included a few images of this microphone mounted on the Audio2000 AST 421 Microphone Desktop Stand, which I also purchased from Amazon. The height is ideal. PTT (Push To Talk) is handled by the CTRL key with my software and the space bar on Echolink for the chat program (keep in mind the on and off switch on the microphone must be left in the on position when using it on these programs). I wholeheartedly recommend this microphone to all of my ham radio friends and to anyone else looking for a basic but affordable microphone for chatting or video conferencing. To expand my collection, I'll be buying the Pyle 68BK (Metal Casing). Everything arrived quickly and in working order.

Phantom power is required for some microphones, but not all. Dynamic microphones do not require phantom power, but condenser microphones often do. If your microphone does not require phantom power, then you will not need to use it.
There are many different types of vocal mics available on the market, so choosing the right one for your needs can be a daunting task. Here are a few things to consider when choosing a vocal mic: -What is your budget? -What type of music will you be using the mic for? -What are the acoustics like in your recording space? -Do you need a mic that is wireless? Once you have answered these questions, you can start to narrow down your options and choose the vocal mic that is right for you
There are many different types of microphones available on the market, each with its own unique set of features and capabilities. When it comes to choosing the right microphone for your needs, it is important to consider the specific application that you will be using it for. If you are looking for a microphone to use for vocals, then a condenser microphone may be the best option for you. Condenser microphones are well known for their clear and accurate sound reproduction. They are often used in studio recording applications where quality is of the utmost importance. While they can be more expensive than other types of
If you're looking for a microphone to use for vocals, you'll have to decide between a dynamic or condenser microphone. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages. Dynamic microphones are less expensive and more rugged, so they're a good choice if you're going to be touring with your microphone or if you're just starting out. However, they don't capture as much detail as condenser microphones, so your vocals might not sound as polished. Condenser microphones are more expensive, but they're worth the investment if you're serious about getting great sound quality.
If you're looking for a microphone to use for recording vocals, you'll need to decide whether you want a condenser or dynamic mic. Here are some things to consider when making your decision: - If you want a microphone that will give you a clear, detailed sound, go with a condenser. - If you're looking for a microphone that can handle high volume levels without distortion, go with a dynamic. - If you're on a budget, dynamic microphones are typically more affordable than condenser microphones. - If you plan on using the microphone
Dynamic microphones are the most common type of microphone used in live sound reinforcement and recording. There are two main types of dynamic microphones: moving coil and ribbon. Moving coil microphones have a small coil of wire that is attached to the diaphragm. The coil is suspended in a magnetic field and when sound waves hit the diaphragm, the coil moves and produces an electrical signal. Ribbon microphones have a thin strip of metal (the ribbon) that is suspended in a magnetic field. When sound waves hit the ribbon, it vibrates and produces an electrical
