ZINGYOU Condenser Microphone Kit, BM-800 Mic Set with Adjustable Mic Suspension Scissor Arm, Metal Shock Mount and Double-layer Pop Filter for Studio Recording & Broadcasting(Gold)

Product Information

The switch PCB (with the HPF / pad / pattern selector switches) gets soldered perpendicular to the main audio PCB.

The LPF is done wrong, there is an extra transistor that does nothing other than leak and a few parts that are just in the wrong spot. I have built my own 48V phantom power supply that puts out a constant voltage of 49V that I know should be okay. If you’re looking to get started with something like a vlog or podcast, it can be overwhelming when it comes to selecting a microphone to use. You can mount the shock mount on all the standard microphone stands as it has a standard screw adapter.This means plugging it into a device that doesn’t provide some kind of power (aka my laptop, my phone, even my kids’ desktop computer) won’t work. I’ve been impressed with both the build and audio quality that the microphone delivers, and really enjoy using it. While I’ve got my own cheap kit from Newegg coming soon, I was hoping for some pictures in advance of arrival.

In case the inherent presence peak of the capsule turns out to be bothersome, the circuit and the board have the resistors in series with the output PNP bases, precisely to facilitate implementing Henry Spragen's solution for that. If this is the case, then you have the right as a consumer to make use of the 30-day refund policy or to request compensation. If you were looking at getting a really cheap BM series model and wondered if you should even bother with one, let’s compare them against the AT2020. The element in an electret mic carries a permanent electrical charge sealed within an insulating film.On the other hand, if you are a seasoned pro, please don't hesitate to jump in and offer your experience and wisdom. All these were fiddled with and tweaked in LTspice, to determine some of the component values for obtaining the intended response from the circuit (mainly the high-pass and the pad options).

The cable supplied with the BM-800 ties XLR pins 1 and 3 together and routes them to the sleeve of the 3. Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH).

The other two will eventually be used to build a copy of Jules’s MS mic using three TSB-165A capsules, but that’s a project for another time. I don't have one, but the Behringer interfaces seem to be getting fairly good reviews and are not all that expensive if you don't want to spend a bunch of money. com/BM800-Pro-Condenser-Microphone-Kit-Studio-Suspension-Boom-Scissor-Arm-Stand-with-Fliter-p-1704525. If you are starting out as a Youtuber, podcaster, or require something better than a headphone microphone, give the BM-800 a look. The mic seems to be the ultimate Millennial/blogger bait, lots of glitter and wires but doesn't perform.

I would say build quality is pretty good, but they got gypped on the semi's and circuit design, as a "brand". A cheap interface isn't much more than your mic (I didn't even know they could make mics that cheap. Instructables, Modify a Cheap LDC Condenser Microphone, namely: BM-800 Microphone Conversion Part 1 and Part 2.Giacomo bm-800-microphone-review A nice budget microphone, with good sound quality, and a great build. The capsule i used was the 34mm AKG version of a few that were subjected to, or rather, were the result of, some very naughty things, shall we say. At some point I’ll draw it in 3D, but for now a 2D representation is plenty for me to design the new board outlines. On the bottom of the microphone, the XLR port is a standard one, made from metal – it has a clip on it that allows the lead to clip into the microphone and stay in place. I like the look of the tapered board, so I decided to taper the boards for my Alice conversion, too, and put mounting holes in the boards to make use of the holes in the NW-800 frame.
