Behringer MIC800 Minimic Ultra Compact Microphone

Amazon should describe this (less confusingly) as a compact microphone and instruments pre-amp. I find it very difficult to improve on the review by Peterman. I too had a Shure SM58 microphone, a good sound card but very inadequate signal levels. My voice-over person has a lovely but fairly quiet voice. Having her very close to the mic produced too much proximity effect. As soon as I plugged up the MIC800 I knew this was the answer. It has all the facilities I need and more. For instance if at some point I get a condenser mic, this unit will provide the required 48 volts. My recordings now sound superb and retain all the quality of the mic, having previously lost some of the top end with a noise reduction filter. There is plenty of clean, warm volume, now going into the line in input. For me the SM58 still needed a pop filter - but they are cheap enough. For output a mono 1/4" jack is needed. For my sound card this goes to a 3.5mm stereo jack, wired for mono. So I recommend this unit very highly, together with good prompt service from Yourspares.

This is amazing value teamed this up with a Behringer XM8500 ULTRAVOICE Dynamic Vocal Microphone and the sound is crystal clear at all vocal settings. I even used it to record my sons electronic drums,brilliant ! For the money you cant go wrong,and it's got phantom power if you wish to use a condenser mic! Plugged in my mic to the xlr input connected it to the input on my computer and opened up Audacity (a free program)and away I went. The only problem is it's very light ,had to secure it to the desk with some double sided sticky-back tape.

I bought this to get a quieter mic amp to feed in to my otherwise excellent Zoom R16, and the effects would be a bonus. It isn't noticeably quiter than the Zoom's mic amps, and the effects left me cold. While it's not expensive, it doesn't achieve anything very much.

I actually use this along with a Monacor ECM-310W Electret Microphone to amplify my flute in the band It allows me to enrich and modify the tones to suit the environment we are playing in without compromising the range and pitch of the flute

I use this for the Behringer C-3 Condenser Mic and I must say it does the job. Nice clean sounds recorded. Small and compact and very light. One small bad point is that the unit is designed to interlock with the other Behringer Mini series, ie, the equaliser and the headphone amp. The base of each unit has feet that lock into each module, but the base one tilts backwards with the weight of the cables, this is a small annoyance but one I felt could of easily have been avoided. Other than that one bad point, I would recommend this for small home studios.

Looking back at my previous orders and came across this unit i bought on Amazon but never did use. Looking closely looks like i got a counterfeit unit hence why it never worked properly.

I give this 5 star because it works and powers phantom condense mic no problem. hi has all the presets for vocals to guitars or any kind of acoustics instruments depending on a mic. Great small product from behringer.

Stopped working a month after warranty ran out

The Behringer Minimic MIC800 is a sweet little budget modeling preamp with loads of features. This device is capable of producing audio that is wildly different from each other which is great if you need to hone you're recordings to a certain style. My demand out of this device is minimal. I just need something to boost the signal of a Shure SM58S Vocal Microphone (with On Off Switch) and send the signal out into my M-Audio Delta 1010-LT PCI Digital Audio System (PC & Mac) . I had been fairly satisfied using an ART Tube MP Microphone Preamp for quite a while. The ART preamp has always introduced a slight buzz in the signal though; even after swapping tubes. It was bearable and hardly noticeable but I figured I should keep looking for a better solution. I also needed an excuse to expand my arsenal of cheap preamps. Then I found this little guy and was very impressed. Noise essentially vanished from my signal while retaining the ability to have a 'warm' quality. I was so impressed that I decided to make a video review. I can be heard throughout the video speaking through it. If you're not much for videos and just want the straight meat, below are my pro's and cons'. Pros: *Killer value. The Signal:Noise is some of the best I've heard at this price range *'Tube-like' setup allows for a warm sound - if desired *Compact design frees up work space. Cons: *Very light. I don't mind but some people may get bothered by having to hold the device with two hands to switch settings. *Only output is a 1/4". Not a huge deal but it'd be nice to not have to use adapters.

Low sound quality

Exactly what I am looking for. I have a wireless microphone for my karaoke mixer and without this preamp, I was not able to hear the output from the microphone even with the volume set to maximum. With this preamp, I have the line output for the wireless microphone receiver plug into the line input of the preamp. Then the line output of the preamp plug into the karaoke mixer and viola, now I can hear and enjoy my karaoke.

Ich brauche den Mikrofonverstärker für den Anschluß an das Mischpult (auch von Behringer), welches - eigenartigerweise zwar einen Mikrofonanschluß hat, aber keine ausreichende Verstärkung bietet. Bei diesem Mikrofonverstärker sind ausreichend Leistungsreserven da und auch eine 48V-Phantomspannung kann bei Bedarf aufgeschaltet werden. Man sollte allderdings auf entsprechende Verkabelung und die evtl. notwendigen Adapter achten. Alles in Allem ein sehr gutes Teil. Behringer ist kein Billig-Laden, aber man bekommt fürs Geld sehr gute Qualität.

el producto es exactamente lo que esperaba bien empaquetado y sin problemas en el transporte ha llegado antes de lo previsto y en perfectas condiciones bien por el vendedor
