Ideal for PA at a bargain price
I needed to replace an Audio Technica condenser mic used in the Church PA system. This item performs well. High output and clear speech. Tested with Behringer UMC22 interface into OBS Studio for the demo attached. However, the stand clip is very tight and will be hard to slide in and out. The instruction sheet was rather scanty. No mention of the bass cut switch seen in the photo. Instead of polar diagram there's 5 frequency responses at different angles. The main point is that it has about 20 dB front to back ratio at 1kHz. And the bass cut is 10 dB/octave with 200 Hz turnover.

Uplifting Sound
I bought two of these microphones for our Church reader lecturns to replace the older mics which did not have speech clarity. These Behringer Mics are fantastic they provide clear sound pickup of every speech and are powerful. Exactly what we needed for our church. They are great quality, value for money and do not compromise on sound unlike other more expensive microphone brands out in the market.

Excellent product
This microphone arrived in its original unsealed hard plastic container. I am not sure if that is how Behringer ships it's products to Amazon, anyhow I was considering to send it back to Amazon since I noticed that the microphone mount adapter was already fitted in the microphone holder and it was quite hard to remove... Reason being the metal adaptor had its thread oxidized ... Rather unusual right... This mic is designed by a German company (Behringer) but is made in China... Poor quality control is nothing new there. Anyhow I decided to keep it because it still sound ok and it would have cost me even more to send it back to Amazon... Anyway this mic with it's characteristics is incredibly similar to it's Shure clone and it be very hard to distinguish one from the other... Good deal , excellent quality...

Good on first impression
Solid microphone, not too heavy. Carry case is a bonus. I've plugged it in and on first impressions it is excellent, clarity is good, as is volume, I'll test it out properly this weekend. For those saying the on/off button is missing or difficult to use, this microphone doesn't have an on/off, the switch is a high pass filter on/off - its recessed so you don't accidentally change the setting.

Hard to beat at this price point
Okay, it is a very cheap vocal condenser mic so if you are expecting it to be a kms105, then you shouldn't be buying this. Behringer do good copies on a budget and this is no exception. It is exactly the same as the t.bone MB 78 Beta. It is the same mic re-badged and it is cheaper. Both are copies of the Shure 87A and come pretty close to it. Depending on your needs, this is a good cheap option for your tool box. Can get good result micing acoustic instruments and cabs with a bit of eq. On vocals, perhaps suited better to female voices but again with some eq and compression (and using the mics hi-pass filter), it can work well on most vocals. Highs are sometimes an issue. For the money, it is an exceptionally good value mic to have in your collection. So much so, I have just bought another.

So far so good
Took a punt on this having read other reviews as I’ve been experimenting how to amplify my melodeon. So far, this seems to do the job well…its still effective up to about a food away which means Im not constantly needing to make sure Im right in top of it. I plug it in to a close-proximity Behringer monitor (BD205) without any feedback too

Good mic
This is a very good microphone for the price , picks up more sound near and at a bit of distance , it is louder and needs less amplification than Sure much more expensive as well . Good microphone for the price.

Excellent value but won't suit all voices
It feels like a decently made mic for the money, but the sound profile is bright and harsh, despite whatever its frequency response graph says. This can be corrected to a degree with EQ and processing but it's not going to suit some voices, particularly those prone to mouth noises and sibilance. However, it's so cheap that you might as well try it out.

48v fantom güç isteyen kondansatörlü mikrofon olduğuna dikkat edin. Orta segment ses kartlarıyla rahatça kullanılabilir. Hobi amaçlı kayıt alan kullanıcılar için ideal olduğunu düşünüyorum. Dinamik mikrofonlara göre daha hassas bir diyaframı var. ve daha yüksek ses seviyesi var. Dolayısıyla ortamdaki yalıtımın da daha iyi olması gerekir. Gürültülü ortamlarda kullanmak sıkıntı yaratabilir. Ben genel olarak behringer ürünlerinden memnun biri olarak fiyat performans oranını beğendim. Konuşma kaydı için iyi bir ürün. Eğer enstrüman kaydetmek istiyorsanız C serisine de bakmanızı öneririm. c-1, c-2 veya c-4 modelleri enstrümanlarda daha iyi performans gösterebilir.

Muy buen micro. Da una señal buenísima y la calidad del sonido es más que suficiente para un concierto.

A really awesome cardioid microphone that can use in a performance while retaining details in a vocal like a condenser! Comparable to a shure beta 87, with a way smaller price tag!!

Microphone à condensateur avec son ample et détaillé sans pour autant être très rond et chaud. Les aigus sont assez prononcés. Il est nécessaire de placer un mousse et un anti pop et de bien régler l'égalisation des graves, des mediums et des aigus. La capsule de condensateur est très petite et je ne m'y attendais pas. Cependant ce n'est pas la taille qui fait la qualité. L'ensemble est solide et bien présenté. Bref avec de bons réglages ce micro condensateur peut être très surprenant et rivaliser avec des microphones de plus grandes valeurs.

Ein 'Billig'-Kondenser mit üblicher Elektretkasel und Hochpassfilter, dann mal sehen was das kann ... Die Bauqualität ist ordentlich, die Optik angenehm zurückhaltend. Gerne hätte ich noch einen on/off Schalter gesehen, sonst wirklich keinerlei Kritik an Metallgußgriff, Buchse oder Gitter. Alles wirkt stabil und es finden sich keine scharfe Kanten. Der Hochpass wirkt ab 150 Hz (-3dB), ist aber nur in Extremsituationen sinnvoll, manche sagen der wäre zu hoch gesetzt, ich finde das ist Haarspalterei und den jeweiligen Zweck bedingend. Über ChannelStrip oder Mischpult sind die Möglichkeiten eh' weitaus besser. Jetzt zum Interessanten, dem Klang: Das SB78a ist sehr linear im Bereich von 200-5000 Hz (1 dB+ zwischen 2 und 5 kHz) und unterstützt minimal die Verständlichkeit ohne dabei merklich zu verfärben. Die obere Grenzfrequenz liegt bei fledermaustauglichen 20 kHz (-1dB zur Messreferenz). Unterhalb 200 Hz ist der Aufnahmeabstand entscheidend, die üblichen 10-20 cm Abstand hören sich sehr ausgeglichen an, aber auch auf 30 cm funktioniert das Mikro noch. Im Präsenzbereich bei 8000 Hz sind's 2 dB mehr im Vergleich zum geeichten Messmikrofon. Diese 2 dB sind nicht viel im Vergleich zu manch anderer Tröte die da deutlich über's Ziel hinausschießt, dennoch fördern auch 'nur' 2dB die Sibilanten etwas nach vorn, was manchmal gut, manchmal ein Minus sein kann (aber nie schlimm in dem Ausmaß). Diese zarte Überhöhung kann man mit dickem, doppelten Poppschutz (z.B. AT2035 Schaum + kleinerem Inlay) oder wie in unserer Werkstatt mit Filter Mesh (250er-400er) an der Kapsel korrigieren oder wenn möglich in Perfektion mit aktivem EQ (7.5kHz -2 dB ca. Q 1.4). So bekommt man die leicht erhöhten Sibilanten in den Griff wenn man die Möglichkeit hat, andere nennen das leichte Frische und lassen's einfach so. Die Konstanz der Mikrofone scheint gut zu sein, was ich so mitbekomme sind keine Ausreißer dabei was die technischen Daten angeht. So scheint die Serienkonstanz besser, als bei vermeintlichen genauen Messmikros die obenrum mal gerne 6 dB abweichen können (unkalibriert). So kann man, wenn man weiß was man tut, das SB78a gar als Messmikro nutzen (Kalibration in Abhängigkeit zum Messabstand wegen Nierencharakteristik und Nah-Effekt). Bei hohen Gains muss man etwas auf das Eigenrauschen achten, das sollte aber in der Praxis kein echtes Problem darstellen solange man nicht Ambient bei Stille aufnehmen möchte. Das Rauschverhalten ist aber kein Minus, sondern normal bei solchen Handmikrofonen mit kleiner Kapsel. Aus der Box klingt das Mikro schon sehr ordentlich, wir sind uns hier einig, dass man auch glatt das 3fache verlangen könnte, wenn da ein 'amtlicher' Hersteller sein Logo drauf hätte. Es ist ein gutes Sprach-, Gesangs- und Instrumenten-Mikrofon. Mit dem kleinen Eingriff bei 8KHz (-2dB Q2) oder dickem Schaum-Popschutz ergibt sich sogar eine ausgezeichnete Tonbalance, die so ausgeglichen selten zu finden ist: Eine sehr gute Stimmabbildung mit viel Feinzeichnun, keine Wellen im Frequenzgang, Klarheit ohne zu schummeln oder kratzig zu sein! Das wäre was für einen verblüffenden Blindtest gegen Oberklassemikros aus dieser Kategorie. Gemoddet klingt das SB78a in die Richtung eines SM7b in Flatresponse, was nicht verwundern sollte, hat es dann doch einen sehr ähnlichen Frequenzgang, wenn man sich darum kümmert :)
