Description

The B-2 Condenser microphone is a perfect solution for your studio. With a changeable pickup pattern it's the ideal microphone for capturing instruments or vocals, for an affordable price. 

Here's what Behringer have to say: 

With its switchable cardioid and omnidirectional pickup patterns, the B-2 is like having two microphones in one. This professional-quality condenser microphone is designed to capture your sounds with incredible realism, sensitivity and accuracy.

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 that 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.

The B-2 is an affordable, high-quality way to put this essential studio tool to work for you. Thanks to its pressure gradient transducer and shock-mounted 1.0" gold-sputtered dual-diaphragm capsule, the B-2 delivers an open, transparent sound with excellent transient response. It boasts a frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz with just a slight boost in the presence range. It has two selectable pickup patterns: omni for capturing sound in all directions; and cardioid for picking up your source signal while rejecting off-axis sound. With its excellent transducer and gold-plated XLR output, the B-2 is very neutral sounding and truly delivers on the promise of noise-free transmission.

The B-2 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.

Condenser Microphones

Condenser microphones are widely used in studio recording because of their sensitivity, clarity, and ability to capture fine detail. They are commonly chosen for vocals, acoustic instruments, piano, strings, and room recording, where accuracy and nuance matter. Condenser microphones usually require phantom power and are available in large and small diaphragm designs, making them suitable for everything from intimate vocal takes to detailed overhead and ambient recordings.

Cardioid

Cardioid is a directional microphone pickup pattern that captures sound primarily from the front while reducing sound from the sides and rear. It is widely used for vocals, podcasting, and live sound, helping to control background noise and reduce feedback in both studio and performance environments.

Condenser

Condenser microphones are highly sensitive microphones designed to capture detail, clarity, and nuance. They are widely used in studio recording for vocals, acoustic instruments, piano, and ambient sound. Condenser microphones typically require phantom power and are available in large and small diaphragm designs, making them versatile tools for accurate sound capture.

Omnidirectional

Omnidirectional microphones capture sound equally from all directions, providing a natural and open recording that reflects the full acoustic environment. They are often used in studio, live and location settings where an accurate sense of space and room ambience is desired.

Because they do not favour a single direction, omnidirectional mics are less affected by proximity effect and handle movement around the microphone more smoothly. This makes them ideal for group vocals, round-table discussions, ambient recording and situations where consistent sound pickup is more important than isolating a single source.
