  ericthegreat's review "nice condenser mic"

  Characteristics

  The B3 is a large diaphragm condenser microphone that I've used in the recording studio. I guess you could use this for recording a live show, but I've never done so, so this review will focus on using the b3 in the studio. While this microphone is widely seen in studios, Shure has recently discontinued making it, replacing it with the SM27. The mic has a cardioid polar pick up pattern, with a frequency response ranging from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. The mic also has a -15 db pad. The mic comes with a shock mount, velvet case, and a carrying case.

  Overall Opinion

  The B3 is an overall great sounding condenser microphone. It's the perfect in between microphone, as it has a pro studio sound without having the large price tag. I've used the b3 for a variety of applications, including vocals, acoustic guitar, and a set of them as drum overheads one time. The mic has a very vibrant sound, with a lot of overall clarity. The most recent thing that I used the b3 was for recording acoustic guitar with an API 512 mic preamplifier, which was a great combination as it yielded a very clean sounding guitar for me. While the b3 isn't on par with some of the best condenser microphones out there, it's outstanding for the price. If you're looking for an all purpose large diaphragm condenser microphone for your home studio, the b3 should definitely be considered, as to me it's one of the best all around condenser microphones for the price. There are definitely a lot of condenser microphones to choose from in this price range, but Shure is a company that has built an incredible reputation for themselves, as it's very well known that they make quality microphones that sound great and last a lifetime. Now that they no longer make the b3, you can probably find it even cheaper used. Definitely a great microphone choice for any studio...

  Characteristics

  I use it mainly taking direction.
  
  Excellent quality / price.
  
  For that price taking is amazing !!!!!!!
  
  I happened to be taking a path 70 cm from the microphone and "Nothing to say" good presence, good cardio mode rejection, acute breathing the bad, the grain is really pretty serious.
  
  The sound is not bad at all !!!!!

  Overall Opinion

  An excellent product given its price.

  Characteristics

  3 static positions
  
  I use it to pre-prod of voice / instruments. For the def, I have refrained until Submitted (and it will continue).

  Overall Opinion

  Bought two months ago in an emergency APRS afternoon, mine has lach. I use mainly pre-prod, my home, in other words I'm not really looking for the quality since the acquisition of voice / instrumentals are destined to be remade in the studio with many well best microphones.
  
  
  
  Well I must say that the services offered are largely the height, and even surprising that price l. Of course we are far from Neumann, and we know the ds departure. But it fills micro honntement its rle, although I find it quite imprcis in all ranges frequency drives, but the price we will not complain.
  
  
  
  Ideal for the pre-production fast, to avoid the def. I would put an 8 while the same because it offers benefits that are well worth his cot.

  Characteristics

  Static three openings Cardio, Omni and Eight
  
  the answer is not the same as opening but ...
  
  I use it for making sounds and the sound system in the over-head.
  
  It works well for the price is a bit of a Swiss Army knife.

  Overall Opinion

  -Use for 6 months
  
  -I am not an expert far away but as the first micro I find it very well.
  
  -Value / Great Price.

  Characteristics

  Studio condenser microphone transistor

  Overall Opinion

  Favorite and rant for this micro: very good value for money except that the mine has dropped five months after the warranty: cell hs been told!
  
  According to sav the cell would replace the purchase price of the microphone. Yes it is cheap on b3, but for my unfortunate experience, it's a nice flame does not burn very long.
  
  I put a nice 0 becaufe I have this really in the neck.

  Overall Opinion

  I have a couple of 2 B3. Nothing wrong for the price.
  
  I possde an audio technica 4050, and well since the acquisition of the B3, it stays in its box!
  
  For the price you risk nothing, if n 'is that to have a good micro trs.
  
  And if c 'silent again, I n buy not 4050!
  
  I should have 10 well-dressed, but a 9 will be fine!
