Audio Connection

Use a standard microphone cable to connect your XM1800S to any mixer, power mixer, amp, or mic preamp. Connect the female XLR end to the XM1800S’ male XLR input connector and the other end of the cable, normally a male XLR connector, to the mixer, power mixer, amp, or mic preamp.

How to Use Your XM1800s Most Effectively

  • Adjust the gain control in the microphone channel of your mixing console so that the peak LED lights up only occasionally or never at all. The EQ controls in the microphone channel should be set to mid-travel position to start with; low-cut filter and level attenuator should be turned off . Try to achieve the desired sound by experimenting with the microphone position. Place the microphone as close to the sound source as possible. The closer your mic gets to the sound source, the greater the bass response will be. On the other hand, as you move the sound source further away from the microphone, the bass response will gradually roll off (please see the frequency response chart on next page).
  • Only when the desired basic sound has been achieved, should you start to use equalizers and signal processors, if any at all. (Remember: less is often more!)
  • All microphones have characteristic polar patterns that determine how well signals from around the area of the microphone are accepted or rejected.
  • The super-cardioid pattern is used by the XM1800S.
  • Thus, the XM1800S excels in environments where a lot of undesired ambient noise exists. The XM1800S excellently reproduces those sound signals originated directly in front of the microphone while rejecting or minimizing sound signals originated in the area behind the microphone (please refer to the polar pattern on next page for detailed information). behringer-XM1800S-3-Dynamic-Cardioid-Vocal-and-Instrument-Microphones-02 behringer-XM1800S-3-Dynamic-Cardioid-Vocal-and-Instrument-Microphones-3
