About
Retired electronics engineer, with an extensive background in professional audio. Main hobby has been my ham radio activities for the past 65 years. I've also picked some furniture building skills focusing on traditional and antique methods. Many pieces are assembled using wood pegs and glue. All hand rubbed finishes. I take pride in quality and apply that to each item I own.

Great sounding mike - better than more expensive mikes.
I heard a ham radio operator using one of these and his audio was simply GREAT! Based on this, I decided to invest $20 for one. It came promptly as scheduled. I connected it to my Elecraft K3S {an absolutely awesome radio} in place of either my Heil PR-781 or Shure SM-58. I immediately got GREATsounding audio reports.
In comparing the specs and frequency response of the Shure SM58 {basically a $100 mike} and the Behringer XM8500, the 8500 has a wee bit more high end. Otherwise they are identical I've listened to my station and my voice in a critical listening environment, and I agree, it is a good sounding mike. Correctly interfaced to the radio and with the radio properly adjusted, it should produce great sounding audio on yours as well.
Of note - I find with many mikes, and this one is no exception, the correct mike technique is the single most important factor to getting great audio reports. You can equalize and compress and process until you run out of knobs to turn and settings to adjust. If you don't use the correct mike-to-mouth distance and correct mike position, you'll never get great audio!

Good item to add PEP ability to a standard Bird 43
It works and it is accurate reference another Bird 43P. Elements do impact the overall accuracy and not the peak board or calibration. Easy to install and use.
Two points, the two switches need to be better identified and pictorial in the instructions would make for easier and better understanding for installation. In my instrument the peak PC board prevents storage of an element on the opposite side of the case from the switches.

FCC Part 15 certification missing
In inspecting this unit, I do not find where this unit is stated to be FCC Part 15 certified. I believe that is a requirement of this type power supply. No label affixed to such.
Overall, a nice looking and well built unit. The no load to 50% load voltage regulation is quite good. However, in preforming measurements, with a spectrum analyzer, I find a good bit of RF noise being produced. While OK for LED power applications this is of no concern. But this noise may radiate into other equipment causing interference or improper operation.
