The cardioid-diaphragm B-1 is a home recording enthusiast's dream come true. This professional-quality condenser microphone is designed to capture your sounds with incredible realism, sensitivity and accuracy.
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 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-1?
The B-1 is an affordable, high-quality way to put this essential studio tool to work for you. Thanks to its 1.0" capsule, it captures sound with incredible realism and sensitivity. It boasts a wide frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, 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 distorting, as well as a low-cut filter to eliminate infrasonics caused by floor rumble and other turbulence.
But That's Not All...
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 rigors of bleary-eyed late-night recording marathons. And with its foam-padded, aluminum carrying case, it travels in safety and style. We also included a heavy-duty suspension mount and windscreen.
This condenser mic is an excellent choice for live and studio applications, and it's available at a price that will leave you with enough cash left over to secure other recording essentials. Check out the incredible B-1 at a BEHRINGER dealer near you.

This is my first microphone. I wanted a condenser mic so I could use it to mic my acoustic guitar and use it for voice too. Very sensitive. Has some built in filters to help reduce background noise. Tested it and I really like the sound - it sounds professional. Comes with everything as advertised. Pretty microphone. Using it with a Behringer UMC204HD interface on a windows 11 PC with guitar amp simulator software and OBS studio streaming software. Hours of fun and enjoyment.

I've never been a huge fan of this brand but I fancied another mic for the odd bit of narration and I'm very impressed.It's a nice weighty mic with a well made grille. The sound out of the box in an untreated room is as you'd think... Passable. But once you add a little cut around 350hz to bring in some tone and drop the mids a little it sounds fantastic. I'm a big fan of the proximity effect and this provides a very good one with a nice radio-esque sound (with EQ).I guess the only minor gripe is the pad switch underneath doesn't have any felt to help stop dust but that's the only negative I can find.Self noise is also low, around -12 dba.

This microphone is a little trooper. I've dropped this several times, and for a condenser microphone it sure does hold up. I really recommend this for beginners, clumsy people, and people who are moving around a lot with their microphones.The sound quality is pretty good! And the sensitivity of this microphone is incredible. I can hear my neighbors talking in the other apartments, I can hear birds outside clearly, I can even hear songs being played in car radios driving by. I really recommend this if you're looking for an ASMR microphone. That's what I use it for, and it hasn't disappointed.It's a very good mic for the price point!

El producto llegó a tiempo y bien empacado. la calidad y presentación es muy bueno. la interfaz que uso no es muy bueno por lo que el giseo se multiplica. pero tiene una gran sensibilidad que hace que pueda elimirar el ruido facilmente en edicion, ademas su claridad es muy buena.

今までサウンドハウスから購入した中では最高額の商品です。丁寧に梱包されて無事に届きました。購入した2本のマイクをZOOM-H6に接続して全て正常であることを確認しました。2本の音量、音質は聴いた限りで違いがありません。スペックどおり雑音が小さく良い音です。マイクサスペンションのゴムは、思っていたよりも張力が強くしっかりとしていました。ネジは5/8だと思います。3/8変換ネジが仕込まれていました。カメラ用三脚に取り付けるには1/4変換ネジが別途必要です。風防が付属しており、多少の吹かれには役立ちます。綺麗に作られたマイク本体と比較すると、ケースの作りは粗めですが、しっかりしています。外部マイク、ケーブル、スタンド等を録音機に加えて持ち歩くのは大掛かりです。良い音で録音したいと思ったら、ある程度、身体を鍛えることが必要です。スタンドを減らし、ワンポイントに近付ける目的で、30cmのアルミアングルにハンドドリルとリーマーで1/4インチ、3/8インチの穴を開け、廉価なカメラ用雲台をネジ止めし、複数のマイクやビデオカメラを取り付けられるバーを作成して活用しています。

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.

My first condenser mike. It has tremendous gain. Problem is I have to turn my AER compact 60 amp WAY down to prevent feedback. Good part is it amplifies my acoustic and voice at the same time without needing a guitar pickup.

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 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.
