Dynamic mics have several advantages that make them ideal for live vocal applications and for recording amplified instruments. They're robust, resistant to moisture, and can achieve high gain before feedback. The XM series' cardioid pickup pattern captures the source signal, such as a guitar amplifier or vocalist, while shunning off-axis sound. And best of all, dynamic microphones don't require any phantom power, so all you need is your mic and cable.

The XM8500 provides an amazingly flat frequency response of 50 Hz to 15 kHz while incorporating a smooth mid-frequency presence rise for excellent voice projection, and includes a two-stage pop filter to minimize breath and pop noises. It features an extremely high output to get your voice out there. And with its tough metal construction and sturdy steel windscreen, you can count on the Ultravoice XM8500 to come through after countless gigs and studio applications.
