I see BM-800 go for £5 here
also what company makes the bm-800
lots of them
is there a brand that does it better?
not really
it's the same internals everywhere, often across models
BM-700, BM-800, all the same
BM-8000 has a different shape but the internals are mostly the same
It's also a step up over the average desk mic
yeah, im bout to buy it, but these chink listings confuse me
actually bm 800 that have the metalic golden lining are of higher quality internals
citation needed
not true as far as I know
I've seen dozens of reviews of BM-800 and it's all the same shit no matter who makes it or what lining it is
also what accessories do i need? like phantom power of course. but i dont know anything about microphones
the only difference is it USED to have a battery compartment but they got rid of that a while ago
phantom power, XLR to XLR cable, microphone stand
that's about it
ok thx
So instead of paying for an expensive mic
you pay for an expensive phantom power output
it's not expensive
the chink one anyway
but yeah, the real cost is the phantom power but you can use the same phantom power as you upgrade to better condenser mics
so it's still useful
is there a difference in the quality of phantom power outputs?
yes but it wouldn't matter for Teamspeak or whatever you're doing
unless you're in pro audio i doubt it
^
and should i buy a pre-amp also?
all you need is phantom
no, I used just a basic phantom power for months and it was more than I needed
and people who say there's a huge sound difference with a Behringer UM2 always get BTFO when they can't tell the difference in sound tests
the advantage with having a sound interface is you can mess with it directly
it makes it useful say if you're youtube cancer/podcaster
adjust levels on the fly
but other than that, if you want the mic to be audible/good quality, phantom power is fine
some one on the thread told me to buy that yesterday
It's useful again for onboard control and mixing
and I don't doubt the preamps in there help a bit
