Professional Vocal Microphone

The QFX M-158 is a uni-directional dynamic microphone built for professional vocal use. It suits singers, speakers and live performers who need a handheld mic with a built-in spherical wind and pop filter. The package includes an XLR cable, stand mount and carrying case for immediate stage or studio deployment.

XLR Connection Limits

The microphone uses a standard XLR connector that requires an audio interface, mixer or recorder with a matching input. Phantom power is not needed because the capsule operates on plug-in power, but the host device must provide a balanced preamp stage. Cable length and preamp gain will determine the practical signal-to-noise performance in any given setup.

70 dB Sensitivity Decides Fit

At 70 dB sensitivity and a 600 ohm impedance, the M-158 delivers a strong output suitable for close-miked vocals without excessive gain. Buyers who need a condenser-like response or higher detail for quiet sources will find the dynamic capsule less responsive. The fixed 60 Hz to 13 kHz frequency range also limits use for full-range instrument capture.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the QFX M-158 or another version for live vocals?

The M-158 is a uni-directional dynamic microphone built for professional vocal use, supplied with cable, stand mount and carrying case.

What does the -70 dB sensitivity mean when I plug it into a mixer?

At -70 dB the mic delivers a low-level signal typical of dynamic models, so a preamp with 60–70 dB gain is needed for healthy recording levels.

How does the XLR connector limit cable runs in practice?

The balanced XLR output supports long cable runs without noise pickup, limited only by the preamp gain available for the -70 dB output.
