I have never heard of a microphone accepting the male end of an XLR cable. **Q: Help! Which speaker can connect to this mike?** A: Unless you have a powered speaker with inputs (like the Mackie SRM150), you wouldn't be able to plug this directly into a speaker. In a typical application, you would plug the mic into a mixer via XLR cable, the mixer would run to a power amp, then the power amp would run to the speaker. The Mackie SRM150 is an example of an all-in-one system. Hope this helps. **Q: can i use this microphone with xvive u3 xlr system? thank you** A: No- the plug will not fit and the sm48 has different power requirements **Q: what 10watt will work well with sm48s** A: Now now, folks, let's be nice. We all know that a pepperoni pizza and a beer is the only proper matchup. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product *by P***H on 8 October 2024* Comes with mic holder, A bag, sticker and bubble wrap and tie. The box also you can cotinue using. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Voice break *by M***V on 2 July 2025* Technical issue ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ good mic, bad packaging *by S***M on 27 August 2020* EDIT: This mic has a boost in the high frequencies, so if you record your voice from 1 feet distance from the mic while speaking a bit loud, it becomes a bit throaty and very unpleasant for longer duration recordings. But if you go close enough to the mic ,you get a proximity effect which is descent and the recording sounds warmer. A little bit of EQ can help too to decrease the throatiness and make the low end richer. I compared it with an MKE 600 shotgun for voice over purposes and it holds its ground very well with a little EQ and mic technique ,especially also in ambient sound rejection and low noise floor. The MKE 600 is 5 times costly mind you. packaging was really bad from this seller. but mic has been working great. if you have a noisy room it will work better compared to any condenser mic. also in any outdoor performance. but the snr of this mic is very low since it sensitivity is low and also needs double the amplification. hence your noise will be amplified too that much. i bought it as an upgrade over bm800 in which case its super. it can only give you a max snr of 60db ,also wouldnt capture details like a good condenser mic.hence not preferred for studio recordings. ## Frequently Bought Together - Shure SM48 Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone with Shock-Mounted Cartridge, Steel Mesh Grille and IntegralPop Filter, A25D Mic Clip, Storage Bag, 3-pin XLR Connector, No Cable Included (SM48-LC) - Amazon Basics XLR Microphone Cable for Speaker or PA System, All Copper Conductors, 6MM PVC Jacket, 25 Foot, Black - CAHAYA Tripod Microphone Stand Boom Arm Floor Mic Stand with Carrying Bag and 2 Mic Clips for Singing Performance Wedding Stage and Mic Mount CY0239 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/75908980-shure-sm48-lc-vocal-dynamic-microphone-cardioid](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/75908980-shure-sm48-lc-vocal-dynamic-microphone-cardioid) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
