I got mine today and it had a lot of noise without the mic even being plugged. Is it defective? Is it just the interface?

I returned mine for reasons of incompatability. Possibly a driver issue w/Win 7&8 Laptops...Then I bought the M-Audio interface for a few dollars more ...Totally satisfied...more flexibility using Amp 3, Revalver 4, GTR, and Guitar Rig 5.

Go to the Behringer Web site and download the latest drivers for it. The same thing happen to me. Works just fine now.

If someone could help with a solution, would be awesome.. when i plug the mic on my H4N using the XLR cable, it gives a lot of noise for me too, but when i use it with USB on my pc, it's perfect.

are you using any kind of channel mixer? Or are you going straight into a powered speaker? I find that when you don't use a mixer, you have less control. If you are using a mixer, try lowering the bass to near 0. That being said, once you have a grip on the mic, it shouldn't be making noises, if you're getting noises when being passed around from hand to hand, then all I can say is that you'll get that with almost any mic this price range.

It could be that the reviewer's particular USB hub could not provide enough amperage to power the mic. Not all USB hubs are equal in this regard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_hub#Power

No Idea, Product Defect? Mine are still sitting in my closet now. Got two sennheiser mics now and haven't look back.

I had the same result. I resorted to using the boom mic that was shipped with it. I don't know who's problem it is but I would assume it's Microsoft's since I have other issues that require constant rebooting.

I think its comparable but to be honest its not a good mic. I think it's either refurbished or a cheap fake. People complained about squealing when set anywhere above 4--5 using it below those settings makes it a useless purchase. I'm shopping for a replacement.

If you downloaded the driver it could be your microphone boost that is on, or maybe you have some grounding issues, make sure your usb is in all the way, or it could be that your microphone have some wiring issues. If everything doesn't work, try looking up on google.

I had no problem, you might want to check that the connector is set correct. You might want to play with the settings off your mic also. I will also do a couple of test settings and if I can duplicate the issue I will let you know.

Sounds like a malfunction. Mine is completely silent. I would send it back.

You are probably right! In any event the sound was not acceptable. You may want to re-consider purchasing an external phantom powered unit to power your microphones.

I haven't noticed an issue. I haven't used it with a mic that much, but the couple of times I have for basic voice overs, I had plenty of gain. It's USB powered, so there probably is something to the complaint of weaker gain in comparison with a standard interface or mixer, but again... I had plenty.

I plugged mine in and the sound works. I would say that yours has a defect. There is a button to push to adjust the volume of the sound. It is explained in the manual. You can check that incase it is just turned down. I doubt that this is the problem, as it is probably set at a default volume. Return for an exchange. I really like mine.

It sounds as though you have a problem with speaker settings. Not enough power is being sent to the front Left and front Right speakers through the surround sound mode. As the other person already stated may only be done by remote or with the set up mic.

I have not had that problem, love mine, sorry I was not any help, sounds like a defect or an impedance problem to me.

Mine is probably a dud because it has a piercing noise. It is very clear and particular and I haven't heard any other people commenting about it so mine must be the odd one. The piercing noise turns into an 11 from that scale 1-10 but this seems to be my only case.
