At A Glance: Behringer XM1800S is a set of three live vocal microphones intended for singers with limited budgets. They feature a cardioid pickup pattern to give the microphones good off-axis rejection in order to minimise feedback on stage and a dedicated on/off switch. The microphones connect to a mixing desk using a standard XLR cable which is not included, however the set does come with stand clips and carry case, which is impressive considering the price.
High Notes: The microphones have a frequency response that is tailored to help vocals cut through on stage and an internal shock-mount to minimise handling noise. The build quality, whilst not quite up to the levels of some top live microphones, is certainly good enough to withstand years of live use if treated well.
