Podcast Bundle with BM-800 Microphone

This StarTech.com M8-V8GEN package combines a 7.1 sound card with a BM-800 condenser microphone and accessories. It connects via USB and provides an XLR input for the included mic. The bundle suits streamers, podcasters and creators who want an all-in-one recording solution for voice work and live broadcasting.

48 KHz Operation with Battery Power

The sound card runs at a 48 KHz sample rate and draws power through its USB interface. An internal 800 mAh battery provides up to 8 hours of operation away from a computer. Two FireWire 1394 ports are also present on the unit. The hardware weighs 1.37 kilograms in total.

USB Connectivity Frees Up Expansion Slots

Because the audio interface uses USB, it leaves internal PCIe slots and drive bays untouched. The unit offers RCA line inputs alongside the XLR microphone connection.

Questions about this item

How do I install the M8-V8GEN sound card and BM-800 microphone, and what step do people often miss?

Connect the sound card via USB, plug the BM-800 into the XLR port, and select the device in your OS sound settings; the step many miss is enabling 48 KHz sample rate in the control panel so the 7.1 channels and voice changer work correctly.

What maintenance or replacement will the bundle need later?

The BM-800 condenser capsule can degrade from moisture over time; keep the foam windscreen on, store the mic upright in a dry case, and plan to replace the capsule or the whole microphone if self-noise rises noticeably.

What limit appears first during a long streaming session?

The built-in 800 mAh battery powers the sound card for about 8 hours; after that the voice changer, 12 sound effects and 7.1 processing stop until you recharge via USB.
