Description
Behringer B-1 Large-Diaphragm Studio Condenser Microphone
The Behringer B-1 is a professional large-diaphragm condenser microphone designed for studio recording, broadcast production, and live sound applications. Featuring a precision 1-inch gold-sputtered diaphragm and cardioid pickup pattern, the B-1 captures detailed and natural sound, making it ideal for vocals, acoustic instruments, percussion overheads, and room recording.
The microphone utilizes a pressure-gradient condenser capsule with a shock-mounted design to minimize mechanical vibrations and handling noise. Its transformerless FET input circuitry delivers extremely low noise performance and minimal distortion, preserving the full dynamic range and tonal detail of the source.
For increased versatility, the B-1 includes a switchable -10 dB input pad for handling high sound pressure levels and a selectable low-frequency roll-off filter to reduce rumble and low-end buildup. The rugged nickel-plated brass body and gold-plated XLR output connector provide reliable signal transmission and durability for both studio and stage use.
The B-1 comes as a complete recording solution with a heavy-duty suspension shock mount, windscreen, and aluminum transport case, allowing it to integrate easily into professional recording setups right out of the box.
