What is a Condenser Mic?
Condenser microphones are the ideal choice for capturing vocals and acoustic instruments. They're the primary type of microphone used in recording studios and radio stations. They are capable of capturing much more detail than dynamic microphones because of their wider, flatter frequency response. Another difference between condenser and dynamic mics is that they contain active circuitry that requires phantom power (+48 V DC) for operation. You can power them from any phantom power equipped BEHRINGER XENYX mixer, plus enjoy the benefits of our state-of-the-art XENYX mic preamps.
Why the B-2 PRO?
The B-2 is an affordable, high-quality way to put this essential studio tool to work for you. Thanks to its pressure gradient transducer and shock-mounted 1.0" gold-sputtered dual-diaphragm capsule, the B-2 delivers an open, transparent sound with excellent transient response. It boasts a frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz with just a slight boost in the presence range. It has two selectable pickup patterns: omni for capturing sound in all directions; and cardioid for picking up your source signal while rejecting off-axis sound. With its excellent transducer and gold-plated XLR output, the B-2 is very neutral sounding and truly delivers on the promise of noise-free transmission.
The B-2 also gives you a switchable -10dB attenuator to capture high-volume signal sources without distorting, as well as a low-cut filter to eliminate infrasonics caused by floor rumble and other turbulence.

| 22 of 24 people found the following review helpful  A first class microphone, amazing price, By MB in the OC (So. CAL) - See all my reviews This review is from: Behringer B-2 Pro Dual-Diaphragm Studio Microphone (Electronics) We have 10 of these at work. We also have many other significant microphone types in our inventory. I have used these along side of AKG 414 and Neumann U87 microphones with no loss in the quality of the sound from the B2 Pro. Functionally they offer the same controls and form factor as the U87. Sound is very close. I would say as close to the U87 as the AKG 414 is. Naturally every microphone type has some differences in nuance. However the differences here are slight and not ones that can be categorized as "A sounds better than B".That said lets be honest, in the world of $1,200 to $2,500.00 classic microphones these things are dirt cheap. You will run into many people that say that the sound is absolute rubbish. I have done side by side testing, the sound is nothing short of excellent -as is the sound of the expensive microphones. However you can get 8 of these for the price of one U87. We have had ours for three years and all are still working, so I am...

I have been using this microphone for over 4 years in my home studio and I have to say,I have been completely satisfied with this condenser. Behringer makes high quality products at a fraction of the cost of more well known brands. It has completely met my expectations for the price. It sounds great for vocals and for acoustic guitar and comes with the shock mount and windscreen. I'm sure you could spend a lot more money to get a better mic but this one will meet the average home musician's needs. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful Great for the price, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Behringer B-2 Pro Dual-Diaphragm Studio Microphone (Electronics) I've been recording with this mic for almost a year. For the price you can't beat it. Clear midrange and no muddiness. |
