Behringer Ultralink ULM202USB Wireless USB Dual Microphone System Reviews

I had bought a pair of the Behringer Eurolive B115D 1000W 15 inch Powered Speakers from Sweetwater last year and love them. So decided to try the Behringer Ultralink ULM202USB Wireless USB Dual Microphone System and boy am I glad I did! Super easy to set up and use and a really great way to have 2 wireless mics for band practice or even a small gig. Not quite the sound of higher end mics, but well worth the money! I highly recommend.

The product works great! It's easy to plug in the usb and instantly have sound from these microphones with great quality. Unfortunately, the usb stick doesn't come with a cap (so it can easily get dirty/dusty) and is easy to lose. It costs... to replace the usb, so find some way to attach it to your other equipment!

I use these mics with the Behringer MPA40BT speaker for karaoke. They work flawlessly and the ease of operation is great. They will automatically turn themselves off which concerned me that they might do that too soon leaving the singer to figure out how to turn them back on and the volume back up but that never was an issue. They sound great and quite affordable!

Purchased the Behringer Europort MPA100BT for a networking group I'm involved with, and love it.....except, with only one microphone, I found myself running around the room handing the microphone off. The ULM202USB allows us to plant microphones at separate sides of the room for easy access, AND utilize a wired mic for the front table. The perfect solution for my situation. Many thanks to the advisors at Sweetwater for their recommendation ~ it was spot on!

I received the new mikes and they are wonderful. I like the fact of adjusting volume on the mike. Would recommend them as very good

Very happy with these microphones, crystal clear signal with no bulky transmitters, would definitely recommend them!

Purchased for my Latin troupe. Male and Female duo vocalists.
Much acoustic guitar and Latin percussion presence would hide vocals.
These mics brought out the vocal clarity and they punch through the room noise.
The user controlled volume on the mic, is an unexpected and appreciated feature.

I expected to be satisfied. I am very impressed. The singers are elated.

We have not used this item much, yet, but the few times we have just amazed our theater group. I checked the range out and I was able to go all the way outside of our theater and into the the street and the folks were telling me my voice was still loud and clear. A real positive addition to our theater PA system.

These Mics are the Best I've Had Sense I Had my Shure Wireless. you Have to Have a Mixer With A USB Port But The Sound Quality Is Awesome.
PS Thanks to Andrew And the Rest of the Sales Staff.

what I have to say I own several sets of wireless microphones.
I found thes to be my best. for this reason they have a 3 stage vol .
now I don't have to hear people say turn it up or down , best feature,
with a pause, also auto shut off. )
they really do sound crystal clear also I don't hear any popping
I will say they like batteries with those kind of features expect it.
a little heavy on a balancing top heavy. still they are my best.
for the price I would buy them again. I;m sure if you give them a try.
you just might also like them . they put out a good bass also .

I used these with a couple wired mics on a EPS500MP3 PA system. Worked great for a medium sized indoor venue. Never had any cut-outs or other problems. Very happy for the price.

If you are tasked with provided PA services to folks who aren't used to working with microphones, THIS is what you need and it doesn't get any better than this. You can literally stand a foot in front of the speakers with the microphone pointed directly at those speakers and NOT hear a whisper of feedback. It is a soundman's dream come true for use with the general public. I can't recommend these microphones highly enough!

I RECIEVED them next day. Very impressed with the service. The mics work great

The mics when used the the Behringer B112W speaker are working well beyond my expectations. Several people have said it's the first time they've heard some of the members. Great combination and Ryan Thorpe has been very patient and helpful. Overall this has been a delightful experience.

We're using these as mics in small meeting rooms connected to a PC rather than relying on the laptop mics. Work really well even from a distance - you don't need to hold them close to you. Only downside is that they take AA batteries - would be ideal if they could be charged via USB. Batteries last long enough if people remember to turn them off when they are finished.

Got these to go along with the Behringer Europort portable pa system and glad that I did! These make an excellent addition to that system! Easy to use and have great sound!

Please read along with previous review, which, Sweetwater very clearly read and addressed... by facilitating a no cost replacement transmitter from Behringer!

Replace your musician's friend catalog in the bathroom with the annual Pro Gear Sweetwater catalog. Seriously.

Great company, Chuck.

Needed a couple wireless mics for a function, didn't want to invest a lot but wanted decent audio quality. Inserted the USB dongle into the computers, opened up an audio recording application off we went. Didn't record the audio - just used the application to stream the audio to the line-out on the computer to a amplifier.

Received a phone call from the Sweetwater rep before they shipped to confirm what I was ordering would meet my needs - talked about the best way to use the product and some other things to do if I had problems. Really great customer service (10 stars on the customer service)!

5 minute set up and very accurate sound

Had to mail you and let you know that not only did the mics arrive faster than I imagined, they are, in my opinion, as good as they say they are.

Whoever wrote the one page instruction, however; must heve been late for lunch.

1. No instruction on installing batteries. Not a big deal, except the hatch is made of plastic and not as strong as it could be. If you push on the very stiff latch it will go inboard and stick on the contacts. Takes a little care to un-stick. Yes, I had to do it, and I was very careful considering there were no instructions. Fortunately the + and - terminals are clearly marked.

2. The shutdown instruction is vague to me. Does one power down the amplifier and then unplug the dongle to turn off the mics? I believe you do because that is what I did. Pulling the dongle out while power is applied is always a bit tricky to say the least and ill-advised.

3. That said, the mics are comfortable in the hands, have no air in them when holding them close...as digital does and is an advantage, The fidelity to my ear is clear, precise, and crisp. Effects do not get muddled in translation as I tested them with a rich, Cathedral reverb and Medieval Plain Gregorian Plain Song. I'll test them in the 21st Century when my young friend comes over.

4. As Always, the Customer Care has been great and is one of the very best, if not best on the internet. Thank You, Chris; especially for hanging in there and getting us from the Dark of Despair into the Light of Performance Art.

These are a great piece to have. Sound is crystal. Only set back is the signal has to be a straight shot. Anything, like your body between the transmitter and mic will lose connection.

Love these easy to use mics. We had a little bit of a time to get them going initially- due to having many different employees using these... and we use them every day. Once we had them working and learned how often the batteries need replaced, we got into a routine and love these. I am considering purchasing an additional set for personal use - that's how simple they are to use and the sound quality is excellent for both speaking, singing and ukulele/e-keyboard.

Pairing up the Behringer wireless mikes was a breeze.
With just a tweak on the EQ the sound quality and clarity was right there with my Shure Beta 57.
Overall a really Great experience and going wireless means less clutter on the bandstand and less time breaking down.

I really love this idea of wireless mic and hope there is more choices later down the road for wireless mics like these. However, one of the challenges that I found out about these mics is that they are not a dedicated power button on them. I get there is way to turn them off and on but it"s not very clear with only a volume up/down button. Overall, I"m excited to have mics like let alone two mics that provide wireless capabilities.

Works very well for the price. Just buy a USB extension cable so that you can stick the receiver on top of the speaker.

GREAT SOUND AND EASY SET UP.

We got these to be able to speak to the audience outdoors without being tethered. They were a vast disappointment. They constantly cut out even when there is no breeze. Even in a small town, there seems to be to much interference. No amount of adjusting did any good. I would have sent these back, however we found that they are great for indoor speaking anywhere in the room, when coupled to a B112D PA speaker.

These have excellent sound, but you have to be in direct line of sight or they will cut out everytime. But a great concept with asmall glitch.

Clarity was great

I bought these to go with my Behringer Xenyx QX2442USB Mixer. They connected and sounded good, but I could only get about 20-25 feet away from the receiver before it started dropping out. I'll still be able to use them in smaller venues, but if we have to set the board more than 20-25 feet away they're just not dependable.

Nice concept but pairing can be a pain.

I am returning these Mics because nobody has time to wait on gear.

1) Pairing issues (took 10 minutes to finally pair)
2) No way to store a Default Volume
3) No way to control the volume on the speaker.
4) Turns off 2 min after muting
5) USB Dongle too easy to loose.

Bought these mics as a cheap alternative to wireless mic for rehearsals at home. It's great for vocals, but not that great for singing. Also, maybe it's just my pair but it drains the batteries even when turned off. I use it for a session, about 2 hours, and the following week I'll have to replace the batteries.

Overall, it's a great option for practice or as a backup for live performance.

Uli is a friend of mine on LinkedIn, was really looking forward to them, was one of first customers, waited many weeks. Behringer stuff has always been a tremendous value.

I use these with the MPA40BT-Pro, a Battery powered version of what looks like a 1x8 Truth monitor, worked great until the receiver (looks like a USB thumb thumb drive) broke when speaker was moved.

Since this is a wear and tear vs warranty issue, I'm out $150. I bought these from Sweetwater because Musician's Friend only carries the single mic. Unfortunately, Sweetwater doesn't offer a wear and tear warranty (like you'd get as a rule for portable gear), so I'm in the wind.

Love Behringer, but won't purchase anything I need comprehensive warranty support on from Sweetwater again.

Also, if you get these, order two of the bigger diameter wireless microphone mounts or they won't work on your stands.

pairing was instant, clarity was clear understanding every word. issues with in & out, don't know if it was due to wifi within less than 10ft. believe it's best to raise mixer on a stand so dongle can stay connected.overall this connects straight to behringer QX1204 mixing board which is a plus. would recommend keeping dongle insight for continuous connection.

Sound quality is great when they work. The mikes seem to eat batteries and often do not work.

I hesitate to write such a scathing review considering how well most review them, but I couldn't get these mic's to work reliably with the Xenyx Q beyond about 10 feet. I tried them in multiple locations to see if maybe the Wi-Fi in one particular spot was the issue--my home and at at three different venues these mics worked VERY WELL within 10 feet of the mixer--but any further than that and they cut out--not just a bit, a LOT.

Sweetwater told me that it's probably just wi-fi interference and to try to use them somewhere with less 2.4Ghz interference-- well, that's not happening anywhere.

Kudos to everyone that's found them working well.

As long as you are not relying on wifi at all, these microphones are great. They connect quickly, look and feel like professional quality microphones, have the volume right on each mic, and sound decent, although they are a little sensitive.

The real issue is that they kill wifi signal. You really should not be using these microphones anywhere that wireless networks exist, and that is pretty much everywhere now. If you must use them in an environment where you have wifi, try to put your wifi on 5GHz band only as these microphones use the entirety of the 2.4GHz wifi frequency spectrum, meaning that your wireless router cannot be configured to go to one of the many 2.4GHz channels to avoid the interference.

I was excited to try this setup out with my behringer mixer. Very simple to connect, basically plug and go. Both microphones connected and maintained a solid signal. Sound quality is clear at speaking voice levels. It lacked the desirable warmth for singing, but this would definitely be great option for those looking for cheap wireless option when it comes to non-musical use. Connected and used for a few songs at band practice and compared sound to Sennheiser e835 wired. Just didn't cut it. Where the Sennheiser excelled with loud vocals the behringer's failed to produce anything comparable. Vocals distorted when singing loudly and it was obvious I wouldn't be able to use these for shows. Switching out for one of the Shure wireless systems.

Microphones sound great at lowest volume setting on microphones, but if used in a karaoke setting they have raised volume control buttons power on power off that people continually hit with their fingers. A slight rise in volume can create distortion to a regular dj he may not care but I am a sound man (run sound boards) and I detest distortion. Volume does not seem to be uniformed may be loud one moment and too soft the next even if it is just me

I was impressed at the fact that they connected via the USB device and that they had individual volume control, but the signal cuts out constantly and the batteries are only good for 1 gig.

One mic had a hard time pairing, and would just drop, this is in an empty barn with no other wifi signals at all. The other mic paired well, but seemed to only have half the gain, so it was barely loud enough to hear with the volume all the way up. The battery flap is indeed fragile, and I'm sure it would have broke at some point. If they worked right, I would have been happy, sound quality seemed decent, but they were just unusable.returned and Sweetwater treated me well.

Bought these for use in a hotel conference room seminar. Easy set-up with Berhinger PPA500BT. Worked great at podium, but when the presenter took the mic and walked the floor during the presentation we had dropouts. Dropouts were momentary, losing about 1/2 of a word or syllable. The dropouts occurred so much we had to switch to my back up wired mic. Distance from Bluetooth reciever was never over 20 feet. Although this is an inexpensive alternative for wireless mics, they were disappointing.

These microphones work well but don't ever break or lose the USB stick because if you do the microphones become instant paper weights. Someone accidentally hit the USB stick and it broke off rendering the microphone dead on the spot. My sales engineer asked Behringer about a replacement stick and they said the USB Stick was matched with the microphones at the factory and they could not supply a replacement. You can't even send the Mic's to them for a new pairing so basically you have two useless mic's and no recourse. It is very easy to misplace the USB stick or damage it. If the USB port was located in the back or had some secured installation method other than just hanging out of the front of the control head it might never be an issue. This product is a waste of money and without a part replacement program it is very frustrating. Do Not Buy this product.

Although the concept is appealing, in practice it didn't work. They worked fine when I tested them but when I actually tried to use them during an event, the LEDs would flash but the mics would never connect. I am not impressed.

Didn't work for my application. Wanted to use for a laptop pc karaoke show but it had a delay.

Have been trying to use these Mics for more than a year. They work Ok in a small quiet room and for my DAW set up. When I think that I have them set up good and take them to larger venues (100 or more people) they do not work well at all. They pass computer floor noise to the speakers and cut out. Their actual range is less than 10 feet even when used with the Behringer mixer that allows you to connect receiver directly to the board which does eliminate the floor noise. I don't know what causes them to cut out in a loud crowd,maybe cell phones or just the noise of the crowd overwhelming the radio system. If you are like me, trying to micro size your system.
