All user reviews for the Behringer B-2 Pro

Dual-diaphragm condenser microphone has. Ideal on vocals, and acoustic instruments. three directivits (amazing that price) and -10dB pad. Nothing is missing. Comes with its windshield and suspension.

NOTICE GLOBAL

Two years of intensive use (10 15 hours / week) for prproduciton albums, demos and other groups joyeusets. The sound is very wide, but there is a small bump in the high mdiums can give agressivitsa certain tones of voice. Nothing nasty, if the perfect micro existed we would have all bought. The price quality ratio is excellent (as always with behringer). It will not suit all voices, but there are also alternatives such as project studio that relate quality ahurrisssant price. A little more expensive but interesting.

Multiple static directivity (cardio, omni, 8)
And low cut 10dB attnuateur
Comes with suitcase bonette, micro attachment

I possde 2 (as Dad ...) and I t seduced by srieux manufacturing, ease of handling and price ... ... .dropoff window
I use it for recording vocals or its precision is correct, trsdfini at the top of the spectrum for voice without fminines be aggressive (a plus for me ...) although mediums have a little "hard", it respects the depth of the bass voice, although lack of "warmth", a good Pramp offset somewhat ....
When used on acoustic instruments, I t pleasantly surprised by the respect of rich and complex stamps as a clarinet or flute traversire for example, but in making "semi proximity "otherwise its high slightly forward spring. This cash without flinching the power of a trombone or trumpet, it goes everywhere .... It's good for its low price as a budget point of view, it is the gateway to all the world ...
It is certainly not a Neumann U87, I am a huge fan, he has not the precision, the heat, but the price-quality ratio is very interesting, even in Rode in Stagg, AKG and consort in this price range .....

To sum up the +:

- Complete accessories supplied
- Directivits Choice
- Micro "go anywhere"
- Report qualitprix interesting
- The sound is clean

the -:
- Medium a little "hard"
- Top of the spectrum too forward
- Lacks a bit of roundness, warmth
Nevertheless it makes me great service, after 4 years, I was never permit tomb (no faults) and working a little correction taking, putting him a good Pramp, we get satisfactory RESULTS but do not ask him to galer M149, even when there is a world between the two .... It is very well to learn and understand the possibilities s multiple takes (directivity ...), placement, all without breaking the bank ... The high end will come in time ...

Many contradictory opinions on this microphone. I think I have an explanation. When I record my voice sound is not very good and it is difficult to mix. With this same microphone in the same room and the same conditions I recorded an excellent singer who volale his mastery and technical miracle microphone records very well. Morality is not the microphone needs to be changed but the singer. To meditate.

I'll joke a little. Want to hear what gives cel check out this address: http://www.myspace.com/michlelandaisetdanielchevalier

Microphone for sound recording mixed but mainly for voice

NOTICE GLOBAL

Frankly if you do not need the preamp behind and if you want to catch voice rap, make your way this mic is not for you, I personally have coupled with a pre presonus tube (with high quality lamp change) and the result was terrible, a real galley to the mix, this mic really lacks fullness, upper medium is super uncomfortable, even my samson c01 had better sound I find (for rap I precise), now I own a micro prodipe stc-3d and it's much better, I do not tell you that it is the height, but what a difference with the pro b2, + warmth and roundness suddenly we galere much less to the mix ... If I did catch sounds on an acoustic guitar with the pro b2 and the result was not bad at all ... in summary jvous recommend it for the sweet song and decision guitar sounds.

Vocal mic large diaphragm condenser

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 11 years now. Initially for lyrical singing and 5 years for the voiceover.

I like different microphones Rode in or Audiotechnica.

Now that it has become my reference microphone for voice-overs, what I like is that it is very linear over the entire spectrum. No grain, no heat provided by a Neumann-type lamp, but with the advantage that we do what we want her master. It is a little less sensitive than eg Rode NT1A, but the voice just what is excellent, because the useful signal is recovered with less noise or mouth breath. A good gate to -50 db mixing and your client receives an audio file without any noise interference.

If I rest solely on the voice application, the value is unbeatable. I for customers the biggest clubs in the world (Nestle, Samsung, Times Warner ...) and all were impressed by the quality of the sound (to cabin voice, of course). When I started this business I thought that if I became rich and famous I'll pay a U87, but with experience, I think for the price differential would be a waste. The U87 will be reserved for the beautiful music.

OVERALL OPINION

Its been 2 years casi I use

This is my first condenser microphone, before I was taken out of a shure sm58 that I plugged directly in mA creative soundblaster PCI. It is only on its first static we always do WHOA! The sound is clean, there is a presence that changes us from our old mics with 2 balls. I bought it with a mic preamp to the lamp 200 of the same brand, this one gives a little more character to the microphone.

What I like the + is its look that pro: D. The three directional. The sound is not bad, you have to mix a little tweaking to get something better.


I love it - it's lack of low frequencies and the tamper to mix to insert it into the musical space side.

For the price it's going, but with the experience I would take another micro

The Beyer B2 Pro is a dual diaphragm condenser microphone and is one of the cheapest priced microphones that will get you a good sound no matter if you use it for vocals or for instruments. It is a pretty versatile microphone, it is a condenser so it will require a 48 V phantom power to work, unlike the other Beyer microphone that is dynamic and doesn’t require you to have phantom power. It is shock mounted and has a pressure gradient transducer. It has a great transparent sound, the sound is actually better a few of the other Beyer microphones that cost almost twice as much. When choosing a condenser microphone it will come down to exactly what you want to use it for. All condenser microphones are better in some areas and not so good in others. This microphone can be used for live vocals, but I didn’t like the way it sounded when used for live instruments. When using the Beyer B2 Pro for live instruments in a live setting, the quality of the instruments wasn’t not too good. For live instruments I suggest using in a studio setting with proper room acoustics in order to get the best sound. You will not need room acoustics for your vocals though, you will be ok with just a regular room set up as your vocals aren’t too punchy like instruments are.


OVERALL OPINION

The quality of sound with the Beyer B2 Pro is about what you would expect to get out of a microphone in this price range. Maybe it is a little better than other microphones that are in this price range, but it is no where near where I wanted it to be. I had to invest more money for a versatile microphone that could work great in live and recording settings with vocals and with several instruments. My search for the perfect all around affordable microphone didn’t stop with the Beyer B2 Pro. I have used this microphone off and on for about 2 years before getting rid of it. It did serve its purpose while using it though.

I paid $200 at an online music store (I think B&H photo) for the mic to do some home studio vocal recording.

For the money, less than Rhodes or AKG's similar models, and way-way less than any Blue mic, it sounds great. It is very transparent and quiet. When I went to the studio I do my mastering at, even the engineer commented on the quality of the vocal recordings.

There is some noticeable sibilance around the "ess" vocal frequency, that is not quite flat. We used a software de-esser to adjust for the problem.

The construction is top notch. Heavy and sturdy casing, also came with a very nice (and hard metal) carring case and windscreen.

For any newbies such as myself, don't blow $800 on a studio condenser when you can record very high quality vocals with this this mic (the B2-Pro) with small amounts of necessary correction.

OVERALL OPINION

This is the only condenser microphone that I tried (I have been offered) and I must say that, given the price, it is rather interesting for small "home-studio owners" who, like me, n ' have no means but looking for a micro stretch with a minimum of interest.
Even if the lump desired by Behringer to 12kHz can disturb, it also "clarify" his voice a little (I tend to be severe enough). Not necessarily a fatal flaw in itself, but if you want to leave a voice proper, it must apply to the song and ... the mix!
I have never tried otherwise than for singing.

The title "watch" is that it is some time after plugging it as usual on my EMU 1820, here I am with a sound that fluctuates and who finally cutting back a few minutes later and disappears new.
Having heard of some problems with the phantom power supply of the EMU, I order a nice little box that allows me to power two condenser microphones and there ... always the same!
I did not dare to start my incriminate B2-PRO and yet it is of him is the problem (I said he is always stored in its original plastic bag then put in the suitcase).
I dismounted and I realized that the head containing the capsule is somehow plugged into the body of the microphone and it may well be that the contacts merdouillent time. By slightly turning the head (without forcing either), the problem seems to have disappeared for some time. A monitor!

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.
