Behringer Condenser Microphones

Baker B-1 made by "Mean" Gene Baker masterbuilder for Fender and Gibson before building the best damn guitar made today bar none. Gene built the first carved top Strats for Fender. Now he has created his own company see em at www.bakerguitars.com. I promise that this guitar is equal too or better than any guitar on the market today. I love it. I can't put it down. My other boutique guitars are cased and for sale and my old favorites like my 68 ES335 hardly get touched. This thing is art. If you are in the market for a high end electric, you will make a hugemistake in quality and price if you don't compare a Baker. You owe it to yourself to play one today! Everything!!!!!!! Nothing!!!!!! Totally masterbuilt by a masterbuilder who honed his craft at Fender and Gibson. Now he makes the best guitars on the planet! www.bakerguitars.com The best made! No ifs, ands, or buts! Price is right and the craftsmanship is unrivaled by any maker including the ones that charge 10 times more! This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

Because I own a couple of Behringer B-5 microphones that perform really well, I bought the Behringer C-3. The B-5's have a very low self noise. But unfortunately the C-3 is very noisy! I took a look inside and discovered that they use a cheap TL072 as head amplifier. No surprise that you get noise at this low level... As far as I could see the capsules look the same as the capsules used in the B-5. The pattarn switching is done by a CD4066. I think I will remove the PCB completely and replace it with a new designed head amplifier. The microphone was rather cheap and the capsules are probably very good. So: a good object for some DIY! OVERALL OPINION The capsules seem to be of good quality, but the design of the head amplifier is poor.

The Behringer B5 is a condesor mic that I was skeptical about from the start. But after using it on a few instruments and recording in to my laptop pro tools 9 it really proved to be a very nice mic. Actually for the price it might be on of the best ones in the its price range. Behringer hasn’t really stood out to me in the mic department. I havent used a whole lot of mics from them. But this is one of my favorite ones out of the few that I have used. OVERALL OPINION The mic is very cheap, when I say cheap I mean as in the price of the mic and not the quality. The quality of the mice is great, it wont go out on your and will provide great recording quality for your instruments. I havent used it for vocals yet, not too sure if you are suppose to use it for vocals, but I normal like to try mics out with all types of instrumentals an d vocals just to text how it sounds with different types of wav forms. You can get this mic in almost any music store around and it will be really cheap, so cheap you wont want to get it because you will be thinking that it wont work for you and it will sound bad. But let me tell you it will sound great and bring a good quality recording to your set up. Take it with you wherever you go. Its very light and if something does happen to it, no need to worry because its not expensive. Plus Behringer themselves will give you a warranty outside of the store warranty. So you are covered either way! Purchase this mic and make it your on the go road mic for quick recordings and demo songs!

Large-diaphragm, condenser mic. I bought it to record instruments (guitar and sax) in a home studio (more like a ghetto studio, actually...) OVERALL OPINION I had never tried another mic before this one (in a home studio). This mic doesn't stand out due to its performance (I have made comparisons), but to be honest, it's useful. I think it's not as bad for vocals as for what I had originally intended to use it (sax and guitar). But its price is unbeatable. So if your budget is not very high and you want gear to learn, it's a good choice. The biggest advantage is that the day you upgrade to better gear you clearly notice the difference!

The Behringer B-2 Pro is a stereo large diaphragm condenser microphone that is designed for use in the recording studio. The mic has two separate capsules and all, along with it's own power supply and 5 pin cable. The mic has a frequency response ranging from 30 Hz to 20 kHz and has cardioid, figure eight, and omni directional pick up patterns to choose from. The mic also comes with a case and it's own shock mount. OVERALL OPINION As far as stereo microphones go, you aren't going to find many of them that are cheaper than the Behringer B-2 Pro . More and more you're starting to see microphones like this for cheaper, but I haven't seen many stereo microphones going for this low price. Of course you're getting a cheaply made stereo microphones, but it's a stereo microphone nonetheless and it actually sounds pretty nice. I've only used the Behringer B-2 Pro as a room microphone while recording a drum kit, but it did a really nice job of picking up the ambient sound in the room, while giving a very nice stereo spread feel. It's nice that you don't have to worry about phasing or anything, so in the future I'd definitely like to try out the Behringer B-2 Pro as drum overheads as well. I've used a few other microphones from Behringer, but this is probably the best bang for your buck out of any of them I've used. This would be fine in either a professional or home studio, but only in a professional studio if you're going to use it once and a while. If you want a stereo mic to use on a daily basis, I'd recommend something like the Shure VP88 instead, as it sounds better and will last longer. However, if you're interested in a good sounding stereo microphone on the cheap, the Behringer B-2 Pro is the way to go.
