If you are looking for a cheap and versatile microphone with a wide range of applications, look no further. With its affordable price, the BM-800 is possibly the best condenser microphone you can find among decent options available. Being a condenser microphone, you will find that the BM-800 captures more detail and ambiance of the room at lower volumes than any dynamic microphone. The BM-800 is a solid choice for recording acoustic instruments, vocal performances, and even podcasts. For the average musician, video blogger, or podcaster, this microphone will get the job done!

The BM-800 is well-built, featuring a zinc alloy cover and steel mesh with gold plating that provides robust protection for its diaphragm and internal components. As it is a unidirectional condenser, you must ensure that the side marked "BM-800" faces your desired sound source. Another great feature is its detachable foam cover, which helps protect the microphone from wind interference, loud air conditioning, and saliva from those extra passionate performances.

This is a phantom-powered microphone. With 48V power, the range of phantom-powered microphones is simply more powerful than passive dynamic microphones. Of course, a microphone powered by 48V will be more powerful than one powered by a 9V battery, several AA batteries, or a 5V USB charger. So you can be sure that the BM-800 will be a significant upgrade over the majority of USB and battery-powered microphones.

With your BM-800, you will also receive a female XLR to 3.5mm stereo cable and a steel shock mount. The microphone is available in various colors - black, blue, pink, and white!

WARNING: This microphone is not suitable for mobile phones. Without an additional phantom power source, it may not function properly.

NOTE

4-pole jack 3.5(M) -> 2x jack 3.5(F), 15cm

Another and more suitable solution is an external USB sound card. External sound cards provide better quality and more options (gain, noise reduction, effects, etc.). We can recommend the model:
