Excelvan BM-800 Condenser Microphone Cardioid Pro Audio Studio Vocal Recording Mic with Shock Mount (Pink)

I bought this for my daughter's karaoke machine and it didn't work. What I wasn't aware of is that being a CONDENSING microphone it needs an external battery to work. Don't be like me, buy it only if you understand the concept.

The shock mount and cord are very good quality, but the microphone doesn't work. There is no on and off switch and no place to put a battery. I think it might need to run on phantom power, but I don't really want to spend $50 to find out. Maybe I just got a defective one, but I don't know why there wouldn't be a place to turn it on and off.

As a studio owner, I can honestly verify this Mic's quality. For the price, it is AMAZING. Dont be fooled by the STUPIDLY LOW PRICE. easily as good as an MXL 900 Series Mic

Sound quality of the mic was s***ty. No one could hear me in my stream. Worst mic ever.

This product is great and is worth your money

Awesome product!

I brought on like this one and the only thing I did was plug it up I think it I don't run off that kind of power some might tho

ALL condenser microphones require power. Either 48 volt phantom or battery.I haven't seen many condenser microphones with on off switches.

Ordered the pink version for a lower price, was contacted by the seller and told it was out of stock and would have to buy a black version ( More expensive). I bought a cheap external soundcard to try and power the microphone but it still had significant noise. This microphone does not work particularly well if used without a phantom power supply, however I am still using it as of speaking and will continue to do so as it is better than my old cheaper microphone. I also see that the product is listed at 38.99 pounds. It is worth roughly 10 pounds so only buy this microphone if it is on sale.
