XM8500

Dynamic cardioid vocal microphone with a shock mount system and an integrated wind and pop filter

Where to buy XM8500 (0502-AAA)

Your voice up front, the stage noise behind it.

The band counts in. The drums are loud and the guitar amp sits right behind you. You step up, and the back of the room needs to hear every word. The XM8500 is a dynamic vocal microphone with a presence rise tuned for the voice. Its cardioid pickup keeps background noise and feedback down. A very high signal output lets your voice cut through.

Heard over the band

A 50 Hz to 15 kHz response covers the body and presence of a live vocal. A shock mount system cuts handling noise when you move with the microphone. The integrated spherical filter tames wind and breath pops, so you can sing close.
