Dynamic vocal microphone

The Behringer ULTRAVOICE XM8500 is a cardioid dynamic microphone built for live vocals and speech. Its gold-plated XLR connector ensures a reliable signal path. A two-stage pop filter and integrated shock mount reduce breath pops and handling noise. The metal body includes electromagnetic shielding for quiet operation.

Suited for stage and rehearsal use

Singers and speakers needing a rugged handheld mic with strong feedback rejection will find this model practical. The 50Hz-15KHz response covers the vocal range without extended high-frequency detail. Users who require condenser sensitivity or a wider frequency range for studio recording should look at other types.

Cardioid pattern with 150 Ohm impedance

The cardioid pickup focuses on sound in front of the capsule while suppressing off-axis noise. At 150 Ohms the microphone matches standard mixer and interface inputs directly. This combination decides whether the XM8500 fits the intended sound system or recording chain.

Questions about this item

What mixer or interface input do I need to connect the XM8500's gold-plated XLR?

Any standard XLR microphone input with phantom power switched off will accept the gold-plated connector and match the 150 Ohm impedance.

Will the XM8500's cardioid pattern still reject feedback if I keep my older stage monitors?

The cardioid pickup focuses on sound from the front and attenuates rear-arriving monitor bleed, so feedback suppression remains effective with existing wedges.

How can I verify the XM8500 is capturing the full 50Hz-15KHz range after setup?

Record a sine-wave sweep from 50 Hz to 15 kHz at a consistent level; the captured waveform should track the sweep without abrupt roll-off at either end.
