Fantastic value

05.02.2016

It's not an sm58, but is it? It definitely looks the same besides the grill, and it doesn't feel much different either.
I actually carried out listening tests with random members of the public, with dry recordings of speech of 3 microphones. This, the T.Bone MB85, and the original Shure SM58. Rather surprisingly, a larger majority of the public preferred the sound of this one.
I personally find it a tad muddy, but that can easily be gotten rid of.
I also carried out a feedback rejection test between the three microphones. An SPL meter was set up in a static location, and a mic stand was securely set in front of a Martin Audio LE1200 monitor switched into passive mode, powered by a Martin Audio 4.8Q amplifier, and the microphones were all plugged into the same channel on a Midas Pro1. This means the only variable of the test was the microphone and the gain setting.
In short, the microphone which returned the highest SPL without feeding back Won. I'm not sure if it would behave the same in a live band situation, but in this scenario, at least, the XM8500 won!
Very Impressive!

Unbeatable for the price

Alan Joseph, 14.03.2019

As good or better than my my other 50-80 Euro mics for live vocals. When recording vocals at rehearsals it doesn?t pick up much of the other instruments which is really nice. I have also used it to mic a bass drum and a snare drum at rehearsal and an acoustic guitar and was very happy with the results. For home studio stuff, vox and guitars, I prefer a condenser mic but for live stuff this mic is really useful.

I have nothing but good things to say about this mic. . You can feel a nice healthy weight and for people on a budget, or for situations where there is the possibility of accidents or theft, this mic is a great choice. It also comes with a mic clip (to connect it to a stand) and a very padded plastic box which is nicer than what I got with any of my other dynamic mics. At this price I will probably end up buying a couple more just to have around, for my kids to sing karaoke, etc.
