Behringer BA 85A
Behringer BA 85A

That’s about 0.32 kg, roughly the same as an iPad Mini or a can of soda. It’s light enough to hold comfortably during a long gig, yet heavy enough to feel sturdy and not like a toy mic. Singers won’t tire easily even if they hold it for an entire set.

What is the minimum frequency response?

50 Hz 0Votes
Behringer BA 85A
41.78 Hz (Average)

Behringer BA 85A
Behringer BA 85A

Starting at 50 Hz, this mic won’t pick up super-low sub-bass rumble (like footsteps or HVAC noise), but it easily captures the natural low end of male and female vocals. That makes it great for cutting through a mix without muddiness.

The lowest frequency the mic can capture.

Behringer BA 85A Frequency Response (Max)

What is the maximum frequency response?

16,000 Hz 0Votes
Behringer BA 85A
17,692.35 Hz (Average)

Behringer BA 85A
Behringer BA 85A

Extending up to 16 kHz means it preserves vocal brightness and clarity, covering the sparkle of consonants and harmonics without veering into harshness. That’s ideal for singers who want their voice to sound crisp on stage without extra EQ.

The highest frequency the mic can capture.

Behringer BA 85A Sensitivity

What is the sensitivity?

-53 dBV/Pa 0Votes
Behringer BA 85A
-42.38 dBV/Pa (Average)

Behringer BA 85A
Behringer BA 85A

A sensitivity of -53 dBV/Pa is fairly standard for live dynamic mics. It means you’ll need a decent gain boost from your mixer or audio interface, but the payoff is excellent rejection of background noise. Great for loud clubs, busy stages, or rehearsal rooms.

Output level relative to sound pressure.

Behringer BA 85A Max SPL

What is the maximum SPL?

150 dB 0Votes
Behringer BA 85A
126.74 dB (Average)

Behringer BA 85A
Behringer BA 85A

150 dB is incredibly high — that’s louder than a jet engine at close range. In practice, this means the mic won’t distort even if you’re screaming into it, using it on a loud guitar amp, or putting it near a drum kit.

The maximum loudness before distortion.

Behringer BA 85A Output Impedance

What is the output impedance?

300 ohm 0Votes
Behringer BA 85A
407.48 ohm (Average)

Behringer BA 85A
Behringer BA 85A

A 300-ohm output impedance is well within the sweet spot for pro audio gear. It matches well with standard mixers and preamps, so you’ll get a strong, noise-free signal without worrying about mismatches.
