Behringer B-1 4-stars Reviews

Good for first condenser mic

It was my first condenser mic and considering the price point I'd say it was an excellent buy for the money.

Recommend it.

Wonderful mic . Best sound for this price !

Great buy for beginners!

I really wanted to start recording some singing and acoustic guitar tracks at home, mostly as practice so I can slowly build up my skills.

I was on a tight budget, plus I'm a beginner so I didn't want to spent a fortune. After consulting a friend, I bought the B-1.

It does its job perfectly. The sound is good and most of all my wallet didn't suffer.

Just having it on its stand next to the next helps motive me to practice more!

If you're on a budget and this is your first mic purchase, go for the B-1!

Amazing quality for the price

I am a radio presenter working from home. I needed an affordable microphone to improve my quality,

I ordered this microphone for 71 pounds and when it arrived was extremely impressed. It sounds very clear and is very versatile. It has a full and rich tone

It has a good build and comes in a carrying case with space for the shock mount, surpsingly high quality foam windshield and the microphone itself. The shock mount is the perfect size meaning it can be mounted upside down with no issues.

The only con is that the switches on the front of the microphone are covered by the windshield, maybe they should be moved up in future revisions.

I would recommend this product for those with a lower budget but high expectations!

A great entry-level microphone for home studios

The Behringer B-1 is a well-informed choice for any beginner or studio musician.

As its capabilities lie mostly in the treble and high midranges, it is a useful tool for recording vocals and picked acoustic guitar. While it lacks the body needed to record heavier sounds like electric guitar and strummed acoustic guitar, it is a great choice for any beginner or for any home studio musician.

The microphone's construction is very solid thanks to its all-metal chassis, and it has nice features including a high-end roll off switch and a minus 10db switch.

Overall, it is well constructed, effective, and easy to use.

Good after EQ

It needs some EQ before it sounds good but works well when you do

"Okay" mic

I noticed that high-mid and high frequencies is REALLY harsh on this mic.

This mic is great for voiceover recordings or something like radio-type work.

For me it sounds too sharp for using it for vocal recordings

Great microphone for the price

I was very impressed about the build quality (and sturdiness) when i received this microphone. Feels very solid and the soundquality is good.

The switchable low-frequency roll-off and -10 dB input attenuation are a welcome addition to make this microphone even more versatile.

Feels and sounds like microphones that cost twice as much.

Comes with a handy carrying case jor 'jobs on the go'

good mic

Have only used this once so far, but, it sounds like a mic at least twice the price, similar to an AKG condensor, but maybe a little bit less prescence, quite a flat freq response.

Very good!

Very good quality for a great price!

Great value for money

The Behringer B1 does a great job for recording of any vocals. I have also used it to record acoustic guitar, which also works great. As a bonus, it comes with a damped mount and a foam wind shield in a sturdy case.

Behringer B1 in practical terms

The Behringer B1 Mic. is reasonable value for the price and for serious recording, it would be better to consider a higher end unit. It has a very thin sound quality, and is a “too airy high end Mic”, ideal for quickie recordings and to travel with because it's fairly cheap, well built and has a strong case. It does a nicer job on the guitar than on vocals but it certainly does okay on those too, certainly nothing that cant be dealt with by the EQ. during mix, or with an front processor. With the processing equipment around today you can probably make a wet noodle sound good. Useful for recording a demo or something like that, but it’s a bit too bright and lacks depth, more suited to Home Studio not for professional use, but does do well with instruments!
