Behringer BA 85A Dynamic Super Cardioid Microphone

Great mic especially for the price! Super worth it!!! Nice and clean and great tone sounds just like a beta… Just saying for those who know…

Quality built and sound. Behringer is definitely one of the best. If you are looking for an affordable microphone this is the one.

Some budget dynamic mics have a way of making a bass voice sound papery or muddy. This one is a bit more sensitive with a clearer profile and strong mids. Vocals sound natural with the only flaw being some graininess and thinness. The design and branding on this suggests they were trying to clone the SM58a with a neodymium magnet. I don’t think it sounds professional enough for live use in concert halls and pro studios with perfect sounding acoustics, but I could see a musician using this at a small gig in a venue with “dead” acoustics and it coming to life there. I use it in my home studio (with impromptu room treatments such as a wall of books and drapes) and it delivers well. My suggestion: Pair this with a $30 phantom powered gain enhancer and that should clear things up and deliver some needed headroom. Even though I had to work around the mic’s limitations, I wholly recommend the Behringer BA85A to anyone who is looking to build a home studio on a shoestring budget. Dynamic mics will always have their place, and fortunately they tend to be easier to work with across a broad range of applications, compared to some condenser mics. This mic’s gainy sound and well calibrated mids and higher register will help you power your vocals through a loud instrument mix without having to use a condenser to capture more mid and high end detail. Not having to use a condenser means you can more easily filter out room noise and sibilants.

Solid feel - Decent sound. Not an SM58, but a really good substitute for your kids or grandkids.

Did a search for best budget mics and these were on the list. Amazon had them for half the price listed in the article. My daughter's garage band loves them. They are basic, but the sound is very acceptable. For the price you can't go wrong.

The Behringer BA 85a is a great microphone for the price. I compared it against one of my Shure Beta 58a mics and can honestly say it the Behringer BA 58a held its ground against the Shure. Similar output and sound quality. Of course the Beta 58A is a better mic but not 10 times better. I'm going to start substituting the BA 85a when I so sound for outdoor parties and give a hard listen and see if anyone can tell the difference.

Great for voice. 50 Hz to 16,000 Hz (great range for definition). Maximum SPL: 150 dB (you can yell loud and it will handle it). Use at slight angle to lower Plosives. Excellent fit & finish in manufacture.

This is fine. I mean it's a knockoff of a very classic microphone for like a quarter of the cost. If you need an all purpose mic that you don't have to worry about this is the one.

Svår att få tag på, du slipper av och på knappen vad den nu gör för nytta, annat än skapa oxid och störningar. Är även okänslig för handljud etc. Perfekt om du nu inte ska sjunga över 15kHz det blir ganska jobbigt för hundarna så sluta med det.

Amazing mic for the price! Great clarity & versatile, highly recommended. Super fast shipping.

I bought 2 from this product, behringer 85A it's good in terms of sounds and durability due to metal casing...but compare to shure v100, lesser output with same volume frequency, but worth it the price...happy to use it in the band as secondary mics...

Great Mic! very surprised at the build quality and feel of this. I was expecting something really budget quality for the price, but no, it feels surprisingly high quality and came in a usable and rugged case. The directional sound quality is excellent, easily like a Shure SM58 but without the cost. Great for toms, backing vocals and guitars or to keep as a spare for a lead vocalist. It has very useful dynamic range in a live performance situation. There's probably better options for recording (depending on what you are recording), but for live situations its perfect and easy to use. Can't go wrong at the price.
