Question 1

Has anyone used these mics for a church choir? Do you believe that these will work well for a church choir?

Accepted Answer

We have a small "underground" church and our choir sings in an isolated room due to limited space in the main hall. Using these mics, we are heard in the main hall as if we are actually there.  We used to have miking problems before and these guys instantly solved them. The result is the same whenever we are in bigger venues where we share the same hall. Really warm and responsive. We are a choir of 7 to 15 singers by the way.

We've been using them for almost 3-years now and they never failed us. If they get lost or broken, we won't hesitate to buy again.

I also tried recording with it (vocals + acoustic guitar) and I am so pleased with the result. I'm buying a pair for my personal use and will just use my trusty Shure PG81 to mic my amp.

Question 2

Has anyone use these on drums?  live, recording or even a rehearsal that you mixed down with bass, guitar, horns, mutiple singers ect..?

Accepted Answer

These mics can work fairly well as overheads for drums, or on a hi hat. You might even get decent results on acoustic guitar, small percussion devices like wind chimes, etc. Since they are small diaphragm condensers they aren't meant to pick up an entire band with complete accuracy as a stereo pair. Of course they can record all the instruments, voices etc you described if the sources are set up properly and the sound is balanced in your recording space, but they won't provide a balanced frequency response, especially in the bass and low-mid regions. I have a pair and use them occasionally for non critical applications. For the money, they are ok at best, but they will not provide the quality sound that a well-made matched-pair of large diaphragm condensers would. Names like AKG, Sennheiser, Shure, Rode, Audio Technica and Neumann are just a few companies that make truly professional mics that would get the job done properly.

Question 3

What do these mics come with? (single or 2 pack mic, cables, stand adapters, ect...)

Accepted Answer

If I remember correctly.... it's a 2-pack of mics with mic stand adapters. When I bought them, I don't remember them coming with windscreens. It would have been nice, but I definitely didn't get a dual mic stand adapter (stereo-bar). I just check Behringer's website, and they don't mention what accessories the mics come with. I checked PSSL, a competing store, and they mention inclusion of the stereo-bar and windscreens. They come with a carry case. You'll need XLR cables with XLRs on both ends, NOT XLR to 1/4", as they need phantom power. If your mic inputs don't provide +48 V phantom power, you'll need a 2 channel phantom power power supply, something like the Elite Core PPS-2 (here on Amazon). You can't put betteries into these mics. I've had great luck with GLS XLR cables, they're just as high a quality as the more expensive cables.

Question 4

microphone work without phantom

Phantom power required, but mine work ok with 15 volt power from a Powerwerks PW100T
