All user reviews for the Behringer B-2 Pro

I prt in to test, I use a TL Audio Ivory 2.

OVERALL OPINION

I tried other models such as the Rode NT 2 j'adhore.

The Pro-B2 is a musician and studio microphone can record a clean net-worth wishing for cheap. Rejoinder Mias I post a notice tt more ... It is difficult to trs Fiare resort's voice in a mix without too much fiddling taking my taste ... The trs see fit easily into the mix. It is a horeur.

I do not recommend this microphone to people who do not wish a report for wide distribution. This microphone is designed for low-cost needs modest little rguliers and it fulfills its rle ..

Condenser microphone, I will not dwell on the specs, many others have done!

The accessories supplied (+ suspension + windshield case) are correct invoice, even if the suspension needs to be handled carefully.

The finish seems good, the micro trust. For 3 years I have, I have no problems.

OVERALL OPINION

SOUND:

When one is in its first static, we are always amazed! So much detail, as apparent definition, both sensitivity ... At first it does! And then we move to the professional (AKG C414 in my case) and then measuring the difference! Sometimes you read that micro (or others of the same class) are standard microphones to 1000 euros: NOTHING IS MORE WRONG! I regret having taken years to understand that!

In hindsight, we can say:
- The B2 has a good accuracy and a boost of high frequencies. On a low voice, spoken or serious, or a nylon guitar, it does very honorably! It's just natural, since missing the microphone creates high harmonics that distort the sound a bit. But that can not even realizes it when we can compare with a pro mic.

- The treatment of acute capacity becomes painful when you push on the voice. If you yell it, the sound becomes slightly aggressive, and you begin to gallery to the equalizer to mitigate this phenomenon. If your voice is nasal, or acute, I do not recommend this microphone!
In addition, it does not cash the very high levels of dynamic, fast ... and it saturates

- There are real holes in the low-medium frequencies! ... The comparison with the C414 is edifying! I found my voice in frequency ranges that I did not know!

- This micro lack of presence. You do not know to explain it, but you realize that bring out the vote in a responsible mix requires 3 or 4 plugins insert (comp, Equal ... etc) while a pro microphone gives you the right on.

I recommend a preamp that has a bit of character, if possible lamp (Blue Tube) rounded to the next "hard" the microphone.

The best advice I can give (I was given the same, but I did not listen!)
Spend much of your budget to the microphone! Believe me, you will not regret it! Even with a small preamp (Blue Tube, VTB-1) make do to nab an AKG C414, Neumann TLM103 or, for example ... 80% of your sound will be done! After the mix is ​​self-evident, the voice comes out alone, with natural warmth and balance! No Plugin can do nothing against using a microphone (such as B2), and I know what I mean! A C414 is 4 times more expensive, but 5 times better! Without a doubt ...

I put 7 as the quality / price is right!

Everything has been said ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a little over a month to record tracks of acoustic instruments and vocals.

This microphone works great for recording acoustic guitars and classical. I also tested for the registration of harmonica and rendering is correct (to the limit a bit loud in the treble).

For cons, I did not like the song! It gives a sound and a cold, metallic timbre. Even with a pre-tube amp it's hard to fix it. You lose a lot of time to "hack" to get the equalizer at the end of a see through normal rendering.

Given its price, this microphone is a very good acquisition for a home studio. However, it is to know what use to give it. You can not record everything with and it's far from the Swiss Army knife that had behringer. Still I would do this choice.

I m was used primarily for voice and taken once or 2 catches Guittar acoustic

OVERALL OPINION

For two months in room acoustics and recording in the studio.

The quality of manufacturing and accessories.

Micros DJ utiliss: AKG C1000S, NT3, CAD M177

To: In difficult conditions with many recording rverbe is the omni directivity given me the best rsultat with some atmosphere and a beautiful violin sound trs but impractical. For voice is the directivity in eight is the most efficient.

Cons: It is too heavy. It can be rough (loses precision) to a large mass of sound, a sound and aggressive in the treble gnre enough noise. Trs difficult to isolate even in cardioid mode.

More efficient in the studio atmosphere and much less prcis, balanced a Cad M177.

I use it for vocals, with a small prampli Behringer TUBE ULTRAGAIN MIC 200 lamp, to the computer music. I use it for voice and harmonica.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 year. The + + +: The sound seems good and prcis. The voice, organic and warm. No breath. Nothing wrong. I have not tried other models of micro condenser. Professionals are more demanding than I knew, but I'm happy with the trs rsultat and what I do, I could not gure esprer better. In addition, he has a mouth that micro book in his briefcase, made class. --- The: Only default finding the handle of the microphone was blackened trslgrement, may be in contact with its support. Or the + or -: I have, so far not seen any diffrence between the positions cardioid, omni, supercardiodes, but I did not really try to test them thoroughly. So, see ... Following a power recording studio, with high end mics (Neumann including ..) So Obviously, I need to have the ear of his aussiaiguise a Ingnieur chevraun trs is stupid, but I do not see the diffrence with the quality of Behringer (in rcoutant tracks one by one at home, with headphones). It Balot. Yes, I would do this choice. Good quality price.

micro versatile, colorful, but when you know it, we can judiciously need color.
condenser microphone.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 5 years.
I like his value for money stunning. I love her outstanding sound quality especially in omni (it's better than akg c 414 on this ground there ...) I like her less low end that lacks definition (for the cons is that less a 414 .. c) I like least is that the suspension gadget .. in fact do not count on it too if you want a REAL suspension.
I have owned micro Rode, AKG, I used the DPA, I know very well Shoeps. Of course the comparison does not really deal with DPA or Shoeps, but frankly for the price should not go without is a much better deal (Report Q / P) or a Rode audiotechnica ... in my opinion, but it's still a micro China. I said that I had four B2-Pro, and none have shown real differences in quality compared to others, the construction is quite reliable.
Value / Price unbeatable.
I would do without hesitation that choice, and sometimes I still use this microphone for its own qualities (especially in omni) are still useful to me. But I have a lot more expensive.

Capacitor, cardoide & bi-cardoide. Comes delivered in a briefcase and Support "suspended".
I only qq recordings, including listenable www.myspace.com / laukelux ("Step it Up & Go" home and "Higher Ground" by repeating with friends, but I'm not sorry Johnny ... )), Quartz Audiomaster recordings directly via a small mixer into the PC sound card without any addition, except for the grate of a live amp Digitech 2101LE for Step it Up & Go That amateurism !
This mic is a little fat in the midrange and not really 100% linear, but for rock, blues, jazz a little crazy to take an amp or grate is widely enough I think. Now I am far from being a pro and a recording studio I guess it is not satisfactory to take voice and then treat it, too colorful. But hey, for that price I consider it a very good buy.

OVERALL OPINION

Used since 2003 (with intervals of 1-2 years graaaandes)
I have tried no other model before. Our drummer has a studio (studiounderground Larrazet) with Neumann & AKG condenser, and qd is even something else!
Special: For the price difference of a micro classical vav is striking and absolutely interesting
Value / Price flawless for me. If it again I will not take over vocal mic, because it helps me too little now, or I will take one or SMXX Zennheiser standard (not condenser) for more practical to implement everywhere.
