Here is the one that is a much better BM800 mic - amzn.to/2OOKqu9 If you are from Malaysia and looking for affordable toys, click here to support us : shp.ee/afesbwt
safe to assume that all of the versions of this mic that are currently available are all inferior versions, its a common practice that they will release a relatively cheap product thats actually a good deal for the first few months and after the demand is high they jack up the prices while lowering the quality, usually this happens with unknown brands,
Thank you for the tip... I just opened my newly bought condenser mic it was cheap...it doesnt say BM800 but has brand called GUARDA and the circuit board is actually huge! thank God.!
Does it affect sound quality? mean i just saw POWERPAK BM 800 which is around 1299 Rupees and another one which is URBAN INFOTECH BM800 mic (with no logo) with full set up with phantom power which is around 2764 Rupees. Please suggest i am so confuse. I would be really helpful.
I bought one bm 800 condenser mic and also a power supply ..but while recording songs, mic is producing hiss sound...how to remove this sound...Should I need to use a v8 interface or I can just record with mic and power supply ?!
Hi, i have three BM-800-Microphones. Two of them have a different, 3 Times larger circuit board (shown at 5:36), than your first and your second Microphone. One of my BM-800 Microphones has the same small Circuit Board as your first BM-800-Microphone. All three Microphones need 48V Phantom Power to work properly and all three microphones work together with a Behringer UMC22. So i think your Problem with your first microphone must have some other Reason. None of the Microphones is loud enough with the supplied external USB-Sound-Card! By the Way - Zingyou is the original Manufacturer of the BM-800.
I got the BM 800 and the phantom power has not arrived yet, I plugged it in to the PC without phantom powrr and the computer didnt recognise it. Is it normal? Will the PC recognise it when I get my phantom power?
@@joelgreenfield7484 Whithout the Phantom-Power the BM-800 will not work, because it is a Condenser Microphone. Every Condenser Microphone requires Phantom-Power!
@@guntergiersch1245 thanks a lot, its just because there are youtube video of them working very quiet without phantom power. but mine doesnt work at all. phantom power is on its way though
I have two of them and they have the same circuit board like yours but the other one is working fine because it has capacitor and the other doesnt have like yours it dont have a capacitor thats why it wont hear any sound or doesnt really have a sound input at all
I have also purchased a bm-800 recently, the board was on the bottom but does have a capacitor and a jfet to drive the phantom power, just so you know :)
@@rinelvincentdelacruz7828 Could you show me a picture of the inside of your BM 800? Mine also has a small circuit, but it includes a JFET and a capacitor. So I don't know if it supports phantom power
The BM-800 will run fine on 5 volts ! If you use the 48 volt supply, the circuit in the original BM-800 detects that 48 volts and puts it through a zener diode regulator that drops it to 5 volts anyway, so it is not actually operating on 48 volts - that gets regulated down to 5 volts !
Here is a tip just buy the Neewer NW-800 the original microphone those china made microphones are sometimes can be very sketchy so i recommend to buy the trusted one like the Neewer NW-800.
After seeing this video, I opened up the two BM 800s I have. They have slightly different circuit boards to one another, but they are far bigger than any in the video, in fact, I doubt that a larger circuit board could be fitted inside of them. So this video is not the whole story, there are BM 800s with full sized circuit boards too.
@@AuntyUncle I wasn't criticising your video at all, I'm just letting people know that not all of them have tiny circuit boards, so don't let the video stop you buying one. At the price though, I'd buy as many as I could from different sources just to make sure that you get a good one. Thanks for your reply, and thanks for the video, it was very helpful. :)
@@Dave-Rough-Diamond-Dunn No worries, I understand there are a lot of other types of BM800 out there. It’s just that mine got a small circuit board and that’s why I recommend all viewers to buy a branded BM800, which at least give you a peace of mind
@@AuntyUncle Yes, I shop through eBay mostly, and I bought two different kits that included the BM 800, both the cheapest available. I couldn't find any that were branded except for Neewer NW 800, which look to be the same mic. I've ordered the NW 700 though, just because I think that the NW 800 will probably be exactly the same as a BM 800. I really just wanted another arm type stand, and the suspension "clip" in the kits with the arm are better than the one that was in the smaller kit. Luckily for me, I struck a couple of good unbranded BM 800s, but if I'd had the choice I definitely would have bought branded mics.
i think you can find the original pcb for XLR preamp power for less than 5 buck to me i have ordered one and it's a phantom power compatible because i have the right pcb for it (the bigger one) but i do NOT recomment using it with the VERYYYY cheap usb sound card on wathever because the mic without phantom power make white noise .... i will order a phantom power supply soon and the quality of other part are just..... very bad, the arm is ok, the clamp arm sucks, mic anti vibratng is ok but cheap... the mic seem to be OK to the price
I have the same problem. But when I check the size of the circuit board of my BM-800, it is way bigger than what you have. I’m not sure what is the problem, if it’s the mic itself or the V8 sound card that comes with it. I haven’t yet tested it with a phantom power because I’m still saving for one.
@@guntergiersch1245 thanks for the suggestion! But I thought that having a sound card (in my case I have a v8 sound card) will suffice. I’ll see if I can manage to grab a phantom power for my mic.
With my BM-800 and proper mixer with phantom power I can easily and cleanly speak from other side of the room, which is around 5 meters. The PCB in mic is 'big' - much bigger than you your both microphones.
Does it affect sound quality? I mean i just saw POWERPAK BM 800 which is around 1299 Rupees and another one which is URBAN INFOTECH BM800 mic (with no logo) with full set up with phantom power which is around 2764 Rupees. Please suggest i am so confuse. I would be really helpful.

I would like the burned mic to mod it into better sounding microphone. You can build a new mic for 50-100 dollars that sound as good as 1000 dollar one
I bought a microphone that was backed by a recording studio studio that has the same circuit. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08HJWK3BH.. Yeah - the best part was the damned base for the mount.
there are different manufacturers of bm800 microphone condenser .. bm800 is not the brand.. it’s like your electric fan at home or your rice cooker there a lot of brands but it doesn’t mean the other one is fake.. hope you get what i mean .. i have both of them and it’s bith perfectly fine
@@AuntyUncle just buy an MXL microphone you can find them for super cheap and their sound quality is what their normal prices which is normally $700 but you can buy them for about $30
i just bought BM800 from aliexpress a week ago, if it turns out that its fake BM800 with no phantom power support i will be so angry... thanks for the video
@Unkwon Malaysian Guy its great... the moment i realized that this BM800 is without phantom power i ordered Behringer U-Phoria UMC22 and another BM800 for which the seller confirmed with photos that it is the 48V version, but now i think i just wasted money for nothing, since the one that i got is great... its quite sensitive, the sound is great, doesnt have any noticeable noise... the problem people have with this microphone i think is because they are using the "usb sound card" that is included in the package, i just plug the microphone directly in my PC mic plug...
@@AuntyUncle that is your problem it was cheaply made and there is no wires for the 48v phantom power to go through it looks like the circuit board was soldered to the xlr input
Every condenser mic needs a phantom power and if your seller tells you it doesn't need one he is either cheating or doesn't know a shit about condenser mic
Yes. That’s why I ask the seller why my BM-800 don’t need phantom power, and after I open up I realize the circuit board is so small, it won’t support any additional power.
I wouldn’t say it’s fake. It’s just the lowest quality BM800. Almost every manufacturer can say that, theirs’ are original, no one in China register the copyright of this mic model number
