Behringer SL 85S

The first thing I noticed about the Behringer SL85S is that the bass roll off is very much like the SM58. I never used the SM58 myself on stage as I am an AKG fan but Behringerare in a different price league. I have 6 Behringer mics and they all give a good account of themselves. The SL 85S is doinbg just that. The Sure original SM58 and the Beta's cant match the AKG 3800 on stage. The lead singer refused to use them because at volume he had to strain to get his voice out at which levels it would feedback and the AKG 3000 delivered with ease a better register for his voice avoiding feedback. Now I am in a small studio and I play guitar through a bass amp to get a thicker sound. The vocals go through that amp too (Laney) The AKG 3800 has a lower Frequency respose than the Behringer SL85S so feedback at volume is a problem. The SL85S is very good as it allows higher vocals level and cuts through the Guitar and efffects. The on off switch is very quiet. Lets face it, this is a real bargain even if the mic holder is too small. For the price add it to your order if below free shipping limit its a no brainer.

Don't be picky - this is a good budget microphone. Check the frequency response graphic for this mic, results are great if you know what you are doing. I don't do EQ live, I do it in post - if needed. Mic it's silent! silent! it's amazing... we use for professional broadcast (yes, professional!) we needed a microphone for outdoors and FB live applications. For quick projects in podcast studio is also great. Again, if you are a sound engineer and !you know what you are doing", results are pretty much acceptable - I don't need a neuman TLM 103 or Neumann u87 AI in order to record a little project or podcast for a local community.
