Behringer SL 85S

I've been a fan of Behringer microphones since I bought their Ultravoice XM8500 about five years ago. It amazes me that they can offer a high quality product for such a low price.
The SL 85S is one of several new mics Behringer have released in 2020 and it continues with the tradition of high quality & value for money. It comes in a plastic carrying case, with a mic stand adapter, and has on/off switch. It feels heavy and well-made. I'd say compared with the XM8500, the SL 85S has a very different sound characteristic, in that it is less "processed" and more natural than the XM8500. This can be seen as a good thing, leaving the user to add any EQ, if desired.
I've only used the 85 S for spoken word, home-recording applications and would sum it up as very useable. Far better than I expected, considering the low price.
In my opinion, it is excellent value and I can imagine it being used for karaoke, disco, public address & podcasting. It could also prove useful for bands or music-makers on a tight budget. Another good microphone from Behringer!

This microphone is excellent. I have so far used it to record vocals and it reproduces the sound very well. The vocals sound very clear and full. Having used ans SM58 in the past, this microphone can surely hold its own against the SM58. The build quality is also of the same high standard as the sound it reproduces. The microphone feels sturdy and has weight to it which makes it feel solid when held. For the price, there is no hesitation in getting one, it is incredible value for money from Behringer.
