Behringer B-1 studio condenser vocal microphone

General

The cardioid B-1 is a dream come true for home-recording enthusiasts. This professional condenser microphone is designed to pick up sounds with a great deal of realism, sensitivity and accuracy.

Condenser microphones are the ideal choice for recording vocals and acoustic instruments. These microphones are preferred by recording studios and radio stations, as they allow for much more detailed recordings than dynamic microphones. This is made possible by their wider and flatter frequency response. Another difference between condenser and dynamic microphones is that condenser microphones have active circuits that operate on phantom power (+48V DC). You can power them with every mixer that is equipped with phantom power or an external power supply.

The B-1 is an affordable, high-grade microphone that will make a marvellous addition to your studio. Thanks to its 1-inch capsule, it picks up sounds with high sensitivity. The B-1 has a wide frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz, that is enhanced by a pronounced presence boost. With its excellent transducer and gold-plated XLR output, the B-1 truly delivers on the promise of noise-free transmission.

The B-1 also gives you a switchable -10dB attenuator to capture high-volume signal sources without distortion, as well as a low-cut filter to eliminate infrasonics caused by floor rumble and other turbulence.

The B-1 is built to be your go-to condenser mic for years to come. Its tough, nickel-plated brass body can withstand all the rigours of bleary-eyed late-night recording marathons. With its foam-padded, aluminium carrying case, it travels safely and in style. A heavy-duty suspension mount and windscreen are also included.
