Improve your home recording with the B-1 from Behringer, a large-diaphragm condenser mic with shock-mounted and gold-sputtered 1" dual-diaphragm transducer and transformerless FET circuitry for distortion- and noise-free audio capture. Combined with the unidirectional pickup, the B-1 is ideally suited for vocals and acoustic guitar.
The B-1 sports switches for a 75 Hz low-cut filter (ideal for handling unwanted rumbles and handling noises) and a -10 dB input pad for handling overly loud sound sources. With the pad engaged, the B-1 can handle up to 148 dB SPL. The durable body is constructed from die-cast brass with nickel plating, ensuring it will stand up to years of abuse. The B-1 includes a suspension-style shockmount, a foam windscreen, and an aluminum hard case.
Another difference between condenser and dynamic mics is that condensers contain active circuitry that requires phantom power (+48V) for operation. You can power your B-1 using any phantom power-equipped Behringer XENYX mixer.
The B-1's cardioid pattern is ideally suited for picking up your source signal while rejecting off-axis sound, eliminating any bleed from the sides. Thanks to its exceptional transducers and gold-plated XLR outputs, the B-1 truly delivers on the promise of noise-free transmission, with the utmost transparency. The B-1 also has a switchable -10 dB attenuator to capture high-volume signal sources without distorting as well as a low-cut filter to tame ultralow frequencies.
