All user reviews for the Behringer B-5

Condenser microphone, a small membrane, comes with two caps (A omni, cardio the other), its grip, its bonette, and a rigid tui transport ....
Microphone to be universal .....

NOTICE GLOBAL

I just bought two .... good quality workmanship ... The switch low-attenuation cut is a little OCD despite all ....
I use regularly SM 81 NT5 (which I like), KM184 and many more .....
Used in over head on a battery, the sound is neither flattering nor restitution hollow fairly faithful to the source, although a little "acid". Special mention on taking it closer to the charl or greatly appreciates his "potato" in the treble. It sounds like the mtalliques ...
It is good, omni, for the registration of a desk-type acute brass trumpet for example, appreciates his ct "relatively" neutral, wide flat passband (???); cardio, it sounds a bit more "Introduced" on the top of the spectrum. He has a little trouble with the woods or down the definition lacks a bit of "roundness" of depth, but on a good Pramp has compensated .... a little.
I like it on dcrites uses, given its price it's hard to beat the qualitprix report.
Like all the microphones of this price range, it serves ... more effective live and studio, or its defects are pretty teacher ... For dbuter, given the price, it remains a valid choices than when it was not in 1500 put in a couple of small static ... As first purchase, it's okay, but know that when you try to models more "hupps" The B5 will seem bland .... But we can not ask the most beautiful girl in the world to give us more than she ....

I have used the B5 to record mainly guitar tracks and some drums but not that much because I don’t have a full drum set up at home. I have used the B5 for over a year now and I must say it is a very good accurate mic. I really don’t have any complaints or anything bad to say about it. Even the price is a good point to purchase this if its your first instrument mic. Even if its not your first mic you will still love the way that it sounds on your guitar. I havent really used it on anything except guitar and hats and snares so I really cant comment on how it would sound with some brass instruments or some of the more bright and stronger instruments. One thing to take note on with the B5 by Behringer is that you will need to be in a treated studio room in order to get the best sound quality possible. Yes, you can use it hat home but keep in mind that if you have other things going on around you like the tv on or window open and outside noises coming in, the B5 will pick those sounds up and you will hear them very clear during playback. Now you can eq some of them out but you know that when you start eq ing you start to lose some of the natural quality of the instrument that you where recording in the first place. So to avoid any of that just make sure its quiet around you or as close to silent as possible.


OVERALL OPINION

You can purchase this mic brand new at a very cheap price. And for how good it is , it could be one of the best options for you. I know that it was the best price and quality option for me. I have used a ton different mics and condensor mics and this one stands out without a doubt. I just don’t record unless I can have complete silence. I really hate picking up background noises and because the houses are so close together here you can easily hear stuff going on out side when recording. So I try to limit the external sounds as much as possible.

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!

Micro electrostatic
2 interchangeable capsules of 0.74 inches for two directional: omni and cardio
48V phantom power required

OVERALL OPINION

I never had before .... micro electrostatic nothing but a poor dynamic end of life and SM58.

No complaints about the smoothness of the sound and sensibilté of 2 capsules; background noise does not exist.
The microphone seems solid.

Very good quality instrument (acoustic guitar notament) and very correct on vocals (have yet delivered to the windscreen to reduce plosives, which reduces the clarity of sound).

Very good to start micro (+ or - € 100), but very difficult to get (a date, I have seen actually available on arémus)

Well yes a electro-static capacitor. APRS advertising and sellers "general purpose"

Caution required 48V.

OVERALL OPINION

I purchased yesterday and I'm on your ass.
Significantly to the dessu B1 which is more expensive (except for voice), catch a nett's incredible.
I tried the dj B1, the SM58, SM57, Beta 58. But for the price.

At the risk of offending some, it is well dessu a SM57.

I'm taking voice, guitar, toy piano, mlodica, tambourine, bells.

Aside from the mlodica the rest sounded meveille.
The guitar was reproduced as I heard (yes), I have never had as good rsultat on a guitar, even with an SM57 (which for me was the guitar pickup).
For voice a little raw, it's better now but use the B1 for small intruments (the only I) is gnial.

With my big baritone, gave a well-trs and a claret exellent.

It's really a good micro trs, at least for less than 200.

I gained 119 in Belgium, must be the same in France.

A brief case.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it recently. Used on percussions and violin!

After 10 years of violin CNR, I can assure that this mic is exellent! A really great sound, just a little lack of acute mdium but no problem is corrected with the qual!
I used dj forward BG4.1 Shure forget it, and Beyer Opus 83 of which are more than twice as much, well, there's no photo, nothing has to have The B5 surpasses! In addition to this the price we must not ignore it!
I just put 9 because I have not found the transcendental with the omni capsule on a heart.

Finally, I often use in fixed or configs Sonos can not choose the place of the speaker, and have often had before, derrire, above, below, I have never had a problem Suel of feedback!

Micro electro-static capacitor ddi making acoustic instruments of all kinds. Delivered in a Casing Bonette, stand-feet and above, two capsules: cardioid and omni one, sure enough in many situations miking

OVERALL OPINION

I use it mainly for making acoustic guitar and percussion in the home studio (djembe and tambourine half moon) and the sound is incredible for the price (bought 107).

I used up to now my Studio Project B1 for making guitar but now I use more than B5 (the B1 as taking Reserved vocals): In my Landola capture acoustic imprsionnant is to your exact precision, the DEFINITIONS of prsence and heat.

For decision-percussionist, sound is muffled and less powerful than my B1. I'm using at the moment (and usual) that the cardioid capsule.

Engaged "Live", he s'avre relatively usable without too much problem of feedback (as long as it does not oriented towards a return) and sounds so much more naturally as a sensor or a piezo micro rosette.

The quality-price ratio is exceptional. Prior test I really not an electret Stagg chr (CM 5050 found 46!) And the Difference is obvious: Throw away the trash and run stagg buy this Behringer.

Behringer prpare the output of an electro-static torque of 60 but I do not think the quality will reach that of the B5. Try it.

Trs good set, and complete for the price (2 capsules for the price of one!)
Small BMOL the bote that is not really practical, and less class than the content!
A suggestion: given as the omnis, Behringher could offer a version with a couple "rail" stro fits in a suitcase

OVERALL OPINION

I use these pickups for almost a year, mainly enrgistrement. And I must say that I have great help.
While there, they give good rsultats trs on the strings, winds and acute (flte, clarinet); notament engaged stro
Slightly less convincing on the brass, and not really on the voice.
As against the price, made a little couple for taking a stro en live.
They also rpondent trs well for the live and are plutt happening everywhere.
I like their ct "I do all plutt good for cheap" (low cut, attnuateur, changeable capsule).
In short a good compromise trs.
I think complter by a second pair soon.

Micro static omini or cardiovascular (supplied with 2 capsules)
Possde switch 3 positions:
* Normal curve
* Low-cut filter
* -10 Db
Comes with a bote Bonet and pliers

OVERALL OPINION

Good mic that price. I use it for several things:
* In overhead -> trs good feedback, good DEFINITIONS, is a more expensive other static
* Stereo sound recording in (I 2) for orchestra -> good enough rsultats
* Flte traversire: it is a well located DLIC!
* Sax: not bad, but lack of heat

However, the test have on serious or high pressure (like Bass Drum), Msieur do not like ... The rendering is so much worse and lacks precision and can even add to the mix.

In conclusion, cemirco is quite versatile, and makes good services of TRS for the price but it can not do anything either.
For a hundred euros, still a good buy.
All is not good at Behringer, but was worth the cost. For a price equivalent, it is largely as good as a Shure PG81.

What was not said t ...
nothing.

OVERALL OPINION

- I use the microwave for 3 years (Stereo pair)
- Trs well made, robust, and many sr's more than adequate. No heat extremely well, but particulire Dfine across the spectrum.
I use them mainly in the making of string instruments (violin, cello, guitar, etc ...), acoustic piano, accordion and drum overhead. They fill out their trs rle in all cases. Given the environment of sound recording, the hardware that you attach (behringer mixer), the quality of the instruments (and my game), I can not esprer better.
In three years they had no problem.
- I have used pay 160 euros (two) and the ratio price quality parat me excellent. I have another mic behringer, a B2, with which I take the wind instruments, voice and the bass drum (by far), with three microphones I can take everything.
- I do it again this choice, but if I were to buy mics I will take others. Not that B5 does not bring me satisfaction Entire just to try something else.

Micro pencil with cardioid and omni capsules. Cutting down 10db pad. Electro static small membrane ... Tested and approved to virtually all musical sources: guitar, piano, bass cons, solo voice, all voice, violin, cello, Over head, set congas, djumb .... Sound collection outdoor ....

OVERALL OPINION

JOperation often together a pair of Rode NT5 at the same time for taking over his head CIBL cymbal (close miking). It support trs compares favorably with the Australians. Whether in cardio or omni sound is full and Retailer. The pad and cut down on are super convenient this is not the case .... Rode
But sarrte comparison. Indeed even with the pad on B5's hard to take. Basically the atmosphere is perfect, but the closer he gets the cymbals has a drooling vomit soup frequency drives draft and indigestible.
He does not like pressure.
On all voice and string, it behaves well and trs I never reu criticism musicians once made mixes ...
Not bad on the solo voices of women that helps them dtach nicely from the rest of the catch.
I never test anything else, except I rode the fan from the beginning.
So my advice is free trs
Résumé to:
A microphone that does the job, attention to high pressure. Unbeatable price in this range.

*Microphones are very subjective. Some microphones that work for some brilliantly may be disastrous on others. It is therefore important to understand the context in which this review is written and take it with a grain of salt, like all reviews on microphones should be treated.*

I have rather limited experience using stick condensers, as I usually work in vocals. I've been told they work well on choirs, but that's not exactly easy to test out.

The Behringer B-5 is a small diaphragm stick condenser that clearly in existence to undercut the higher end stick condensers. And undercut it does. All things considered, it's a quite effective microphone.

The Behringer B-5 includes a low frequency roll off filter and a 10 dB pad, although this bizarre trend that cheap microphones share in putting the roll off and pad on the same switch is beginning to get on my nerves, as both cannot be engaged at once. This is a rather annoying trend that needs to end as soon as possible.

Overall, in the little time I had to use it, I found that it was surprisingly pleasant, although, as I expected, once I started stacking recordings done with the Behringer B-5 together, they began to progressively get harsher and harsher.

And considering its target market, I feel compelled to tell you that these microphones do not plug into a computer directly, and require phantom power to operate. They need to be plugged into an interface with audio to digital converters which is plugged into your computer. It may seem obvious, but many newbies are not aware of this need and become needlessly frustrated.

OVERALL OPINION

The Behringer B-5 small diaphragm condenser is surprisingly nice, and I could see someone using it to mic a few things in a mix. However, as I suspected, it is very important to not use this microphone dominantly in a mix, because the frequency buildup will become very, very apparent and harsh.

However, for the price, and even against my general distaste in Behringer as a company for most things, I can actually recommend this microphone, although I would tell you with all my heart to save up for something better.
