Behringer SL 75C

Great sound, bad implementation of the capsule “cap”

After almost 3 years of use the cap just fell off. It was held by tiny amounts of glue and I guess it dried out. Not a complicated fix, but definitely seems like a flawed design compared to the original product that this mic replicates. You can twist the cap on the sm47 as it is secured differently and won’t come off that easily.

Great value instrument mic

I’ve been using this microphone to mic my amp into the PA system during gigs, as well as to do home recordings, for the past 5 or so months, while also handling several of the renowned Shure 57s it clearly goes a bit further than just taking inspiration from. No, I won’t say it sounds “just the same” compared to the better known model from Shure - rather that Behringer’s take works just as fine for live and studio recordings as the 57, which I believe is a fair assessment and sums up my experience with it. This mic feels like a solid and well made product and works just like so, with a clear input that, while properly representing the sound from my amp, also providing a sonic range I’d describe as “familiar”, though I lack the expertise to dive any deeper than that. All in all, it’s a solid, reliable and good-sounding mic that costs about 20 bucks and comes with a hard case. I wouldn’t necessarily advise one to cheap out on the most basic, longest-lasting and least prone to obsolescence pieces of equipment you’ll invest in, however for the rising artist and/or producer, the hobbyist musician, the Saturday night club manager or the gigging player in need of a mic that won’t break the bank if it gets lost, I’d say the Behringer 75C to be a solid bet that’ll always double as a backup, in case a more proven alternate is attained later on.

lovely

sounds great, specially for the price

Good

If you’re reading this you’re a bit cheap and you’ll be happy enough with this knock off

Amazing

I tested this verses a Rode Podmic and I preferred this one. It had a warmer tone for vocals, though perhaps less detailed..... on my voice this was the winner. At this price it is a no brainer.

Goede en bruikbare budget microfoon

Werkt perfect voor snaren drum

Weinig verschil met duurdere Shure sm57 wat geluidskwaliteit betreft

Lage kwaliteit behuizing (plastic)

Hersteld met duct tape, werkt nog steeds prima

Something you don't mind throwing around/beating up

I originally bought a few of these mics to record drums, but found they had plenty of use for backing vocals with rock bands for bar gigs and smaller venue shows. I haven't done a direct comparison between this mic and the sm57 that it draws its design from, but its a completely serviceable mic for dirt cheap.

perfect for live event

perfect for the price, I use it pretty much every weekend at live shows in a small venue and no problems at all, isn't that far off from a sm57, and due to the price is awesome!

Good value

For a low cost 57 substitute, these are quite usable. Cheap enough to replace when they get inevitably smashed by a drummer / angry guitarist / bassist's girfriend etc.

Does exactly what's needed.

Good, sturdy microphone, have used it live, on instruments and at home, does the job wonderfully at a fraction of the price of competitors
