B-1 Single Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

I purchased this mic to try and get some home recording done (Mostly acoustic folkey stuff). I am very happy with the mic. My budget was very limited, and so price was a key thing for me, and like many people I looked across many other websites for reviews of the mic, and not a lot of the reviews were as good as I would have liked, but due to budget I went for this mic anyway. Since purchasing the mic however I have realised that the bad reviews were simply people being equipment snobs! I can find no fault with the mic whatsoever. It does exactly what I want it to do, was easy to use, and I am very impressed with the quality of the recordings I am getting. I will say however as a simple note, (and as I believe other people have already said) you will need Phantom power for this mic. For anyone who doesn't know, phantom power is simply a particular voltage (48V I believe) DC power supply required for the mic to run. This can be acheived via a dedicated phantom power supply (£20 ish quid) or most mixing desks will supply phantom power (but check it does first!). I personally use a Behringer 802 mixer (~£45) for my phantom power. So to sum it up, I think the mic is excellent, will give you pretty decent recordings and is fantastic value for money!

Absolutely amazing microphone. I went from a £20 Neewer 800 to this Microphone and the difference is amazing, there is so much more clarity with the B-1 and pair this with a Scarlett Solo and you will have an amazing sounding microphone. It came in a really cool suitcase as well so that adds to the value. I use this for recording rap vocals and I have to say this mic sounds great and that is with no effects or adjustments adding in post production programmes. I would really recommend this to anyone who wants to start recording professional vocals.

I bought this in March 2024, and have had no complaints about the quality of the mic. As you would expect from a condenser microphone, it is extremely responsive, and to my ear certainly of excellent quality. One thing no-one had ever told me about though, is the sensitivity of condenser mics to low temperature and moisture - I had been storing it in a cold and sometimes slightly damp environment, and found that when I plugged it in to use it, there was a quite loud background noise. I now store it indoors and this problem has never recurred. It is supplied in a good quality padded case, along with a foam pop filter, and an alloy shock mount. The shock mount is the only thing that lets this microphone kit down - 21 months after purchase, the swivel mount just disintegrated. First of all the bolt broke (even though I hadn't attempted to tighten it for a long time), then one of the side pieces just broke off with very little force on it. So the mic itself is great for the price, and given this low price I would suggest that anyone buying one also invests in an aftermarket shock mount for when the supplied one falls apart!

This is, for me, an upgrade to a home studio mic. I don't usually bother with mics as for what I want to record a decent phone will do the job well enough. I got this and a little mixing desk (also Behringer) to hook up to my phone so I could use it as a digital 4 track. I've not done much using it yet, but I've recorded a few bits and I'm very pleased with the results. It picks up every sound in the room and the reproduction is as good as anything more expensive I've used. The case is solid and the holder for it is pretty substantial. It's not solved the ongoing problem I have with not having much in the way of talent, but as a mic it's a good thing. I think a pop filter is a must, and obviously I have a phantom power unit. For the money, I can't see me ever needing anything better. I've got a cheap Behringer XM8500 Ultravoice which is fine for anything live, this will probably never leave my house.

I ordered this a while back, when the price was around the £60 mark, even now the Behringer B1 is still excellent value. The microphone is heavy condenser microphone which produces fantastic results. We're looking to switch all our (expensive) microphones to the B1's just to have a consistently good sound. The carry case is excellent, and very handy to keep the microphone free from damage and dust. I'd recommend also purchasing a microphone stand which can be found via Amazon too. One thing worth noting, the Behringer B1 does require phantom power in order for it to work, though if you don't have a mixer or desk that supports it, you can pick up the Behringer Xenyx 502 which does support the B1 adequately.

For some reason the one I had had a problem with the XLR connector and I couldn't use it in upraise down orientation. However, when it worked, I could tell it was good quality. Nice, full sound, a little harsh at top end but a little cut on EQ can sort that out.Overall good value mic but seems I got a bad batch.

I did my research before buying this microphone so I new what I should expect. A good microphone at a descend price that would allow me to record demos of my music and my lectures for my online courses. The microphone performs as I expected it. It has stronger lower frequencies (I knew that) which is what I needed for recording lectures and especial acoustic guitar which sometimes has a 'silvery' tone (and B-1 takes care of this nicely). Very clear recordings (essential to any good microphone). Overall, I am very happy with the result.

I record at home using GarageBand and bought this as a means to record both vocal and acoustic guitar. I chose this mic much as anything because I had already bought the Behringer interface and monitors (I like matching!) It works and sounds fantastic and records vocals and guitar perfectly. Nice case too!

Je n’est pas encore tester mais la livraison est très top d’ailleurs en ce qui concerne behringer c’est toujours la qualité a faible coup ❤️😊

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.

Acquistato in offerta a poco più di un centianio di euro. Soddisfattissimo. Arriva a casa con una comodissima valigetta ( solida, non morbida ), all'interno della stessa potrete trovare il microfono, il supporto antiurto con elastici e un cappuccio in spuma antipopper. Il microfono risulta essere un oggetto ben fatto di un discreto peso, fatto in metallo e visibilmente solido. Io lo sto utilizzando per tutto: registrazioni, conduzioni radio, videochiamate, canto e parlato. Ottima resa sonora, può competere tranquillamente con microfoni ben più costosi. Consigliatissimo per chi voglia iniziare a farsi uno studio di registrazione casalingo o a chi ha bisogno di un microfono a condensatore ( podcast, youtube, videoblog ) senza vendere un rene.

Me ha sorprendido bastante para el precio que sale al mercado. Es el primer micrófono de condensador que tengo y lo acabo de probar en una grabación. Para mí es perfecto pero si buscas algo bueno y barato este es .

I use it for high quality sound recording. It is exactly what I need
