Behringer SL 84C Dynamic Cardioid Microphone

I’m going to be real here and admit that this wasn’t my first choice in mics, but I had to know how it would stack up against the SM58s I’m used to. In terms of feel, sound quality, features, and includes equipment, at worst, it’s a dead heat. Compared to its vastly more expensive counterpart, ambient noise rejection is identical, pickup pattern also identical, the Behringer has a very slightly darker natural tone (nothing that can’t be compensated for with a little EQ-tweaking), the weight and feel are practically identical, and really, the only area where it notably falls behind is that it has fairly little shock resistance, but a) this can be combatted with a decent stand and/or shockmount and b) it is absolutely unbeatable for the price. I’ve had a long run of good luck with Behringer, but even so, I was skeptical of this mic starting out; the run continues.

Great value. Excellent quality. Just like the other famous ball head mix but a fraction of the price.

I like these mics. The sound is not quite as full as an SM58, but it's clear and crisp--certainly good enough for your B-squad of mics. I use them on guitar amps, and am well-satisfied.

I have a Shure SM58S & bought the Behringer SL 84C as a spare. I called my wife over (also a musician - concert pianist) and she couldn't tell the difference. The only difference I see is that the Behringer has more plastic & is lighter weight. For the quality of the product the price is amazing.

Sounds great for the price! I have it hooked up to my audio interface and it sounds pretty good. I use it for jam sessions, and it doesn't pick up any unwanted noise. The build quality is also pretty good, nice and hefty, feels like a premium product.

The microphone is ok but has ground problems and introduces hum when used in conjunction with different types of audio preamplifiers.

Behringer blowing it out of the water again!! How can they produce such a great mic for such a cheap price? I was so blown away by the price-to-value ratio that I bought 3 more, for a total set of 4 of these vocal mics. They're perfect for live and stage applications. Almost indistinguishable from the Sure Beta 58, these mics get the job done and you don't fret if one gets damaged because you can buy 5 or 6 of these for the cost of a single Beta 58. Behringer, how are you doing this?

The microphone works fantastic. No issues. What’s amazing is I got a two for one with this. The plastic case the mic comes in can double as a makeshift euro rack! It’s just the right amount of space . I’m just starting out on modular setups, but this worked well surprisingly.
