B-1 Gold-Sputtered Large-Diaphragm Studio Condenser Microphone

Folks, this is as good as it gets for a mic under 500 dollars. For home studios with a low budget, I think that this microphone is the BEST in its class. I had two different microphones before this but when I got this B-1 and plugged it in, the difference was INSTANT. You can just taste the well balanced lows and highs on this mic. Usually I need to add compressors to get a good sound but this baby is just perfect. This mic picks up lows very well and my voice lacks in the lows so this mic is perfect for me. The sensitivity is CRAZY. I could hear my girlfriends sniffles in the other room. All in all, a GREAT sounding mic. I've been wanting to try this since 2 years ago and I am NOT disappointed one bit. Such a great product for a great price. AKG or Perception in this same class doesn't come close to this beast. Don't go to guitar center and spend money for overpriced mics in this class that do not come close to the outstanding performance this B-1. If you are starting out GET THIS NOW.

I RESEARCHED FOR MONTHS EXACTLY WHAT MICROPHONE I WANTED TO BUY. I FINALLY ENDED UP WITH THIS MICROPHONE BASED ON THE FLATNESS IT RECORDS, BEING KNOWN FOR RECORDING INSTRUMENTS AS WELL AS VOCALS VERY WELL AND NOT BEING A CRAZY PRICE. I MUST ADMIT, THIS MICROPHONE SURPIRSED ME VERY MUCH AND I HAVE A BACKROUND IN SOUND. IT IS A VERY SENSITIVE MIC AND YOU DO NOT NEED MUCH VOLUME ON THIS. SOUNDS FANTASTIC, RECORDS FLAT WITH NO BACKROUND NOISE AND ALL AROUND A STURDY MIC. RECOMMENDED FOR VOCALS, INSTRUMENTS OR JUST COMMENTATING ONLINE.

Excellent.

Even though Its not the best mic, it has a great sound. I use it all the time and get good results.

I dare you to try this mic along side a $400.00 mic and see if you can tell the difference. Like a lot of people I need to get the most for my money and while I do not like certain Behringer products, I have to say that this is one great mic. It is crystal clear and it comes with a great wind shield and case that you do not see with mics in this price range. Buy it and I guarantee you will be buying more. This is the perfect vocal mic. I have also used this to mic my amp in the recording studio. Be prepared to do a lot of takes because it will pick up every little sound you make before you play and during your playing. i.e. my squeaky chair I like to sit in when I record.

In the description I read "Gold-plated 3-pin XLR output connector for highest signal integrity". This led me to believe that the mic came with a mic cable. I was wrong. So I haven;t even tried the mic yet. I gave this item 3 stars not based on anything to do with the quality of the mic itself but based on the fact that I did not receive what I was led to expect from the items description.

Outstanding reproduction from a really great priced mike. I use it for my vocals and it has replaced my high end dynamic mike instantly. It is sturdy and looks iompressive also. Comes with it's own metal carring case and with a shock mount and windscreen. You supply the cable and phantom power. Behringer should get more credit than thedy do for some really good products at a good price.Kudos Behringer. You need a condenser mic? Buy this one, for about 100 dollars you are in the studio with a pro-mic.

Very accurate reproduction of the sounds you hear: Use this on just about everything -Shock mount included is a little crappy. -the sound leans to a harsher colder sound, it's necessary on vocals to try and warm them up a bit, But overall really great for the price
