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

2017-06-21 17:28:59 UTC  

also what accessories do i need? like phantom power of course. but i dont know anything about microphones

2017-06-21 17:29:03 UTC  

the only difference is it USED to have a battery compartment but they got rid of that a while ago

2017-06-21 17:29:26 UTC  

phantom power, XLR to XLR cable, microphone stand

2017-06-21 17:29:29 UTC  

that's about it

2017-06-21 17:29:40 UTC  

ok thx

2017-06-21 17:29:59 UTC  

So instead of paying for an expensive mic

2017-06-21 17:30:08 UTC  

you pay for an expensive phantom power output

2017-06-21 17:30:21 UTC  

it's not expensive

2017-06-21 17:30:26 UTC  

the chink one anyway

2017-06-21 17:30:48 UTC  

but yeah, the real cost is the phantom power but you can use the same phantom power as you upgrade to better condenser mics

2017-06-21 17:31:05 UTC  

so it's still useful

2017-06-21 17:31:09 UTC  

is there a difference in the quality of phantom power outputs?

2017-06-21 17:31:26 UTC  

yes but it wouldn't matter for Teamspeak or whatever you're doing

2017-06-21 17:31:27 UTC  

unless you're in pro audio i doubt it

2017-06-21 17:31:30 UTC  

^

2017-06-21 17:31:40 UTC  

and should i buy a pre-amp also?

2017-06-21 17:31:53 UTC  

all you need is phantom

2017-06-21 17:31:59 UTC  

no, I used just a basic phantom power for months and it was more than I needed

2017-06-21 17:32:36 UTC  

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

2017-06-21 17:32:46 UTC  

the advantage with having a sound interface is you can mess with it directly

2017-06-21 17:32:57 UTC  

it makes it useful say if you're youtube cancer/podcaster

2017-06-21 17:33:01 UTC  

adjust levels on the fly

2017-06-21 17:33:11 UTC  

but other than that, if you want the mic to be audible/good quality, phantom power is fine

2017-06-21 17:33:31 UTC  

some one on the thread told me to buy that yesterday

2017-06-21 17:33:46 UTC  

It's useful again for onboard control and mixing

2017-06-21 17:33:56 UTC  

and I don't doubt the preamps in there help a bit

2017-06-21 17:34:03 UTC  

but I doubt it's worth the price increase

2017-06-21 17:34:12 UTC  

most people buy BM-800 because it looks cool

2017-06-21 17:34:19 UTC  

also does the xlr cable quality affect the sound quality?

2017-06-21 17:34:41 UTC  

yes it does

2017-06-21 17:34:42 UTC  

yes you need diamond-platnum cables

2017-06-21 17:34:47 UTC  

monster brand only

2017-06-21 17:34:53 UTC  

triple shielding and tank armor

2017-06-21 17:34:54 UTC  

I've had a few over the years and not noticed much difference tbh

2017-06-21 17:35:05 UTC  

non-meme answer 😂 👌

2017-06-21 17:35:13 UTC  

as long as it is copper,you are fine

2017-06-21 17:35:27 UTC  

well i'm just going to use the one that comes with the mic

2017-06-21 17:35:35 UTC  

no that's not going to work

2017-06-21 17:35:40 UTC  

Silver>Copper>Gold>cheap metals
