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. Review: AFTER LOOKING FOR MONTHS I CAN SAY MY OPINION WAS FORMED QUICKLY - 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. ## Features - Cardioid pickup pattern for outstanding sound source separation and feedback rejection - Ideal as main and support microphone for studio and live applications--perfect for acoustic instruments and overhead etc - Pressure-gradient transducer with shock-mounted gold-sputtered large-diaphragm capsule - Pressure gradient transducer with shock-mounted gold-sputtered single-diaphragm capsule ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0002KZAK8 | | Antenna Location | Singing | | Audible Noise | 10 Decibels | | Audio Sensitivity | 10 Decibels | | Best Sellers Rank | #52,907 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #91 in Vocal Condenser Microphones | | Brand | Behringer | | Built-In Media | microphone | | Color | Silver | | Compatible Devices | Radio | | Connectivity Technology | XLR | | Connector Type | XLR | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (712) | | Enclosure Material | Aluminum | | External Testing Certification | Não aplicável | | Frequency Response | 20 KHz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00705105160184, 04033653080118 | | Item Dimensions | 1.77 x 1.77 x 6.69 inches | | Item Type Name | BEHRINGER B-1 Single-Diaphragm Studio Condenser Microphone Gold | | Item Weight | 1.52 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Behringer | | Mfr Part Number | B-1 | | Microphone Form Factor | Microphone Only | | Model Name | B-1 | | Model Number | B-1 | | Number of Channels | 1 | | Polar Pattern | Unidirectional | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 81 dB | | Special Feature | Stand | | UPC | 705105160184 | | Warranty Description | Please refer to Support at Music Tribe site. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Behringer - **Color:** Silver - **Compatible Devices:** Radio - **Connectivity Technology:** XLR - **Connector Type:** XLR - **Included Components:** microphone - **Model Name:** B-1 - **Polar Pattern:** Unidirectional - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Singing - **Special Feature:** Stand ## Images ![B-1 Gold-Sputtered Large-Diaphragm Studio Condenser Microphone - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51UtyU7iRdL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Color, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will the B1 fit into a universal shock mount 43-50mm?** A: My Behringer B-1 is about 48mm in diameter half-way along the centre of the shaft. I have also read in comparisons that it's about the same size (as well as a similar shape) to the Neumann U87, so I guess it would be a safe bet that it will fit.It would be wise to use a different shock-mount, because the Behringer one that is supplied with the microphone is an awful design with thin elastic that gets sloppy and falls off, causing the whole structure to collapse. **Q: Is the inside supposed to come loose after unscrewing the bottom? And is the thing that unscrews on the bottom the adapter? (Sorry I'm new to this)** A: Nothing is supposed to come loose on the inside after the bottom part is unscrewed. The only item that should come loose is the barrel, which allows access to the circuit boards. As for your second question, I don't understand it; what do you have in mind that it should be adapted to? **Q: Do i have to buy an xlr mic cable for the behringer b-1? or it comes with one. just wanna confirm.** A: You will need to buy one seperate. I picked this one up cheap and no hum or any issues. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0026KEGLQ/ref=sxts1ie=UTF8&qid=1480335291&sr=1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65 .. only regret was I moved my microphone and made a seperate recording room just for vocals and now the cable is short. I'll be buying a 15 ft from here. **Q: How might one get this to fit in a standard c-shaped "snap in" mic stand clamp?** A: It won't fit into the c shaped clamp, however does come with a screw in one which will be just as effective. It also come with a wind cover. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ JUST AMAZING. *by A***M on February 23, 2013* Folks, this is as good as it gets for a mic under 500 dollars.
