I think I have found the best inexpensive podcast microphone! This is the Behringer SL 75C dynamic microphone. This microphone sells for only $19 on B&H and $39 in Australia! I can't believe how great it sounds for voice and it really gives the Rode PodMic a run for its money.
In this video, I compare the Behringer SL 75C microphone to the Rode PodMic which is a much more expensive microphone. I am running the microphone directly into my Steinberg UR22MKII Sound card without any processing unless stated on screen in the video.
The build quality of the Behringer SL 75C is top-notch! I can highly recommend this microphone for anyone on a budget who wants high-quality voice audio on the cheap!

You convinced me to buy this mic, and I'm not sorry. I did make a couple of adjustments to it to make it sound better. I bought a Shure mic mount (A2WS). This improved the looks greatly, and it fits the Behringer clone perfectly. Then I cut up an old generic windscreen into two circles the size of the end of the Shure mic mount (windscreen), and stuffed them into the end of it. This improved the sound by adding a little extra base and diminishing the high end by a little. It also makes the mic almost totally impervious to plosives. This enabled me to get the mic very close to my mouth, which helped to increase the base a little further. As a result this mic sounds incredibly good. Additionally I ran it into a mixer, where I reduced the mid-range frequency significantly and increased the bass a bit. Sounds like a lot, but in the end I had a $35 investment that sounds to me as good as a $400 SM7b. I am well-satisfied. Thanks for the review!
Apparently Amazon USA hates this mic.
So you basically put more foam in the A2WS' tip? Sounds like a cheap A81WS ;)
@@DominikOwl Yea, but it looks much better is costs less.
you probably dont care but if you're stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch all of the latest movies and series on instaflixxer. Have been watching with my gf for the last couple of months =)
@Casen Ace yup, I have been using InstaFlixxer for months myself =)
I love these short and to the point reviews, sir. One of the many reasons I subscribe!
Many thanks!
Thanks, Shane. Just what I need for my Skype lessons (with audio interface).
Great video. Is this mic better than the xm8500 for podcasting?
Great review I would like to a see a beta 58 shoot out! I have a Blue Encore 100 that I use now as my primary mic as it sounds brighter and doesn't feedback almost at all in live situations than my Beta 58 that I paid at the tim$150 compared to $99 for 2 mics deal blue does every November. Let's get a beta 58 shootout ASAP PLEASE!!!
Hi, Shane! Is this your favorite SM57 clone? Also, what windshield would you recommend? Would the Shure one fit?
I'm a big fan of Behringer. Yeah, they have some flops, and the quality control can be hit or miss, but you can NOT beat the price. I love LOVE the way my UMC1820 sounds, plus I have it expanded to 16 inputs with an ADA8200, which also sounds great for the price. And don't get me started on the preamps they had in their old line of Eurorack mixers. Those things sounds like butter, and they are DIRT cheap on the used market. I'm really itching to get my paws on some of their microphones
Great review bro
Thanks!
Thanks for the review, I ordered it today and I get it tomorrow! Hopefully it's something i'm looking for:)
how is it, I plan to use it for streaming on twitch becuase my blue yeti broke i really dont have the budget
@@kenaoji4592 it sounds great, most mics have a little hiss/noise but this one is sooo quite. Sadly it doesnt work without phantom power, it requires 310ohm's to power it up.
@@alphariss It doesnt need phantom power
Great review, I'd definitely like to hear the behringer/Pyle comparison.
Other than looking nice I don't see the appeal of the Podmic. I've never heard a comparison where it sounds better than what it's being compared to.
I think you might be right, it got slaughtered in this video. It really does require some post EQ to sound good.
This and the XM8500 are honestly killer microphones for the price. I generally prefer both over the originals they are copying. Especially the XM8500 vs the SM58.
Agreed!
Yes please compare with the pyle
Can you put the Shure / Behr into one of those desk holder things where the mic is above you? (you can see i'm a pro lol)
That shirt is fire, too.
what wind/pop filter do you use to the behringer in the video?
I'd like to hear this against the Pyle. I was impressed with the Pyle after your review a while back. Thanks Shane!
Behringer is better than Pyle.
@@bolhico 100% even when used on a Guitar it was refuse for the Pyle. It really was bad.
How would you rate Behringer, in general, as a brand? Thank you for your insight as always.
Pretty solid. Back in the early days they were regarded as generally "unreliable" but now the QC seems great. I've had some Behringer products for 10 years and they still work including a DI box and a mixer. :-)
When compare with Pyle ?
what interface did you run the mic into?
The XM8500 or this SL75c?
Both
thats crazy I JUST added the SM57 (used with the A81WS windscreen) to my podcast... wish I knew of this cheaper alternative
I only saw it a few days before I ordered one and had to give it a shot :-)
lucky for me, I was about to order an SM57 and found out about this before I actually did :-P. For $22, why not? Julian Krause has a guide for EQing this mic to sound exactly like the SM57, and if you add to it the changes he did to the SM57 to make it sound like an SM7B, you might be able to get a sub-$25 SM7B sound from this mic ;-).
Behringer VS Pyle? Bring it on! You gotta do for both voice and guitar though :)
haha I'll see what I can do ;-)
I just cant live with the very high low cut filter of the podmic. Really not a fan of it.
yup, I think the same. It's too bright for my liking.
I liked the podmic sound
This is the in the blues guys twin 😵💫🤣😂😂
eBay OZ is all sold out -- can't touch these at the moment!
Nice
I haven't liked the sound of the podmic on any review vid I've watched so far. Thin sound and too bright. Even this mic at a fraction the price beats it.
ok I just got this mic and I´m very dissapointed.. it has a TERRIBLE background hum , buzz sound even when i have no fan or CA connected.. but really bad, it makes impossible to work with it to record classical guitar
sounds worst than the Pyle i also bought months before
Ialready sent it back to Amazon
