Behringer SL 75C 5-stars Reviews

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.

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.

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

Great mic on a budget

Great mic on a budget and great tone

Surprisingly good

I wasn't sure what to expect from this mic but (a) it seems very solid and well build and (b) for the price you really can't go wrong ! Have used it so far in a home studio environment in front of a guitar can equipped with a 12" Celestion Rocket and the results were very good indeed. It seems pretty much identical to an SM57 or the T-Bone equivalent but at a price that's hard to believe. Comes in a nice sold case with mic stand adaptor (which has a removable internal thread) so an added bonus. There's nothing not to like about these mics.

Can you go better? No!

For this price, you can't go better!

Of course, it doesn't sounds like real sm57, but with little bit of EQ on your mixing desk, it will sound like a real thing!

Good for a starter mic

Never recorded electric guitar before. This is my first mic and I have no issues with it. Sound quality without any equalization or filtering was really good to me. It just feels a bit cheap. It is heavy, however the mic itself is very light. The casing (most of its size) is the heavy part.

Goede prijs/kwaliteit

Voor die prijs zijn dit goede mics. Doen wat ze moeten doen. Voelen heel robuust aan. Geluid is meer dan aanvaardbaar goed.

Behringer SL75C

One problem, as I read in another review, a small bump to the shield and it came off almost immediately, disappointing but a couple of tight wraps of insulation tape around the top of the mic and the shield sat back on snuggly, I hope behringer get that sorted soon as its otherwise a durable feeling mic and the sound is great, I would buy another another if needs be in the future.

Perfect allrounder mic in this price range

I am not a pro and I am setting up a small home studio on a budget and after reading and watching several reviews I have decided to try this mic for recording instruments.

Outcome: I've had the mic for a couple of weeks now and I am curious to see how it will hold up on the long run but for the time being I am totally happy with it!

I've tried it with acoustic and amplified instruments and voice, and I think the result is quite stunning for this price tag.

Pros: price, wide frequency range, clarity, sturdy feel, it comes with a hard case and holder.

Cons: rather dull color ;)

I haven't tried the SM57 or other clones but I would definitely recommend this piece of gear.

Great alternative for that oh-so-known microphone

This microphone is fantastic for miking amplifiers, the sound is relatively close to the room sound, and they are sensitive enough that you can use them in an apartment without driving the amp to indecent levels. The build is good, it has a nice heft to it, the construction is all metal. The top "cap" and wind shield though are a bit disappointing. I ever so slightly "bumped" (more like brushed) it against my amp, and the cap immediately came to an angle. I set it back in it's place, but I can feel some play there now. That is quite annoying, just having unboxed it an hour ago, and with the "bump" being so soft that I'm reluctant to even regard it as such. Also, the wiring inside has the thinnest wires I've ever seen, don't really understand why. Then again, it's all closed up, and you'd have to unscrew it to even take a look. Overall, for the fraction of the cost of the "real thing", this is a stunning alternative with no drawbacks. Sounds great, feels great, comes with a padded case, works as it should, what more could you want? Do recommend.

Great budget mic

Great budget mic, but don't expect it to sound like a sm57. A little more bass and less highs than expected, but a great mic.

Used it on guitar speaker, tom, floor tom and even kick in mic.

The value for money is off the charts, once again.

Extraordinary value for money

I bought this mic because I wanted a decent sounding one for recording heavy guitars at home. Having been owning the Behringer UMC202HD interface for some time (which I had very positive experience with, unlike Focusrite Solo) and after watching a number of comparisons with Shure SM57 I had quite high expectations regarding this mic and it has more than stood up to them.

Build quality:

Immediately after taking it out of the box I was shocked by the quality. The metal chassis feels great in the hand at it has quite a bit weight to it.

Sound:

I use it to mic my Blackstar HT5 mkII combo with a copy of Diezel VH4 pedal in the FX loop and after double tracking and adding some EQ I get really high quality sound out of this setup. I place the mic around the cap edge of the speaker and I get quite a balanced, articulate sound this way.

Overall, I think this mic is an absolute steal! Good luck finding a microphone that offers better bang for your buck than this one.

Shockingly good

I have an original Shure SM57 that I have for a snare drum, and it goes without saying that it's fantastic.

I wanted a couple more of them for the rack toms but they're not the cheapest thing around. Saw this and figured I'd give them a try, and was very pleasantly surprised!

The build quality is very nice, good weight to the things and the sound is actually very good. They sound great on toms! They sound mostly the same as the SM57 does. Some people might actually prefer the sound of these!

Dropped a star for the quality though as when you open it up, you can see that the wire used is veeeery thing in comparison to the Shure. However, that's inside and it would need to take a ridiculously severe beating for those to get damaged

Cheap a very good for learning

I bought this microphone along with the Behringer B 906 to learn more about mic recording directly from a bass cab. For the price, the build and sound quality are just amazing.

If you're learning how to use a mic to record this is an amazing choice.

The best Mic Better than Shure SM57

I have to be honest. This mic is outperfoming my Shure SM57. The sound quality is superb! I am trully happy I found out about this microphone. Whoever designed it know what they were doing. I use the mic for recording my handpans.
