B-1The single-diaphragm B-1 microphone is a home recording enthusiast’s dream come true! This professional-quality condenser microphone is designed to capture your sounds with incredible realism, sensitivity and accuracy. With its cardioid pickup pattern, frequency filters and input pads, the B-1 mic is an excellent choice for any recording scenario – and rugged enough to go the distance! With a heavy duty suspension mount and windscreen included in the sleek aluminum case, the B-1 just may be the only microphone your studio will need. | What is a Condenser Mic?Condenser microphones are the ideal choice for capturing vocals and acoustic instruments. They are the primary type of microphone used in recording studios and radio stations. The B-1 mic is capable of capturing much more detail than most dynamic microphones because of its wider and flatter frequency response. Another difference between condenser and dynamic mics is they contain active circuitry that requires phantom power (+48 V) for operation. You can power your B-1 using any phantom power equipped Behringer XENYX mixer – plus enjoy the benefits of our state-of-the-art XENYX mic preamps. | Why the B-1?The B-1 condenser microphone is an affordable, high-quality way to get what you really hear down on tape (or in bits). Thanks to the pressure gradient transducers and shock-mounted 1.0″ gold-sputtered dual-diaphragm capsules, the B-1 mic delivers an open, transparent sound with excellent transient response, and ruler-flat frequency response from 20 Hz – 20 kHz with a slight boost in the presence range. The B-1’s cardioid pattern is ideally-suited for picking up your source signal while rejecting off-axis sound – eliminating any bleed from the sides. Thanks to its exceptional transducers and gold-plated XLR outputs, the B-1 truly delivers on the promise of noise-free transmission, with the utmost transparency. The B-1 also has a switchable -10 dB attenuator to capture high-volume signal sources without distorting, as well as a low-cut filter to tame ultra-low frequencies. | But That’s Not All…The B-1 condenser microphone is designed to be your go-to studio mic for many years to come. The tough, die-cast metal body can withstand the rigors of all those late-night recording marathons – and the included carrying case ensures your B-1 always travels in safety and style. An excellent choice for both live and recording applications, the studio-grade B-1 condenser microphone is available at a value that will leave enough cash left over to secure other recording essentials.

microfono ideale per home studio , che scimmiotta un po' i microfoni professionali.
Microfono top
Un microfono intramontabile. Una resa sonora unica per il suo costo. Consigliatissimo!!
Antes de comprar este micrfono de condensador, prob con otro ms barato, un Neewer NW-800 que se anunciaba como profesional y result ser un fiasco. Por lo que decid apostar por este de la marca Behringer que ya conozco ya que tengo una mesa de mezclas de la misma marca y estoy muy contento. Es un micro muy robusto, viene en una caja de muy buena calidad con sus accesorios perfecta para guardarlo y transporte. Lo principal, recoge el sonido con muy buena calidad y es perfecto para mi que lo uso para grabaciones caseras de canto. Para un micro de canto con una calidad mnimamente aceptable hay que irse a micros de esta gama de precio, comprar algo ms barato puede ser tirar el dinero. Este es totalmente recomendable.
Rien à redire
Reu dans les dlais et fait trs bien le travail !
Still works after 9 years of usage on and off.
Really great microphone for those getting into the condenser mic world. It’s durable, lasts and sounds really good.
I think it does have around 5dB self-noise but that’s to be expected for the price.
Good balanced highs and lows with not too harsh mids. A mixer can be used of course to change these if you do not like it.
Ottimo rapporto qualità e prezzo
Molto utile e ben fatta la valigetta di protezione. Il microfono ideale per chi vuole iniziare a fare home recording: restituisce una voce pulita e calda ed fatto con buoni materiali.
Great value for money
Really happy with this mic. I know microphones a little after a few years of studying music technology and 15 years in bands. This is great for everything except the stuff you would book an expensive studio for anyway.
I am on my second one after I leant one to a pal years ago and never go it back; though that one is in regular use and still works I beleive!
Great for recording on a budge
It’s a great mic for the price. The sound quality is very clear, it’s a little tinny but picks up just what you give it rather than background noise.
Great for recording on a budget!
No se puede pedir mas por un precio casi irrisorio
Una sensibilidad increble, una fidelidad del sonido impresionante, los accesorios de buena calidad… Por ponerle alguna peguilla, decir que es tan sensible que es imposible usarlo con monitores sin que aparezca el feedback dichoso. Solo puedo usarlo con auriculares.
Y ya puedes tener la sala insonorizada si no quieres or hasta a los vecinos discutiendo….
Realmente bueno… muy bueno… estoy contentsimo con la compra.
Microfono di qualità!!!
Microfono tutto sommato buono per iniziare a registrare oppure come scelta economica senza pretese. Buoni i materiali e buona la qualit sonora. Ottima la sensibilit e inoltre fa un bel figurone nella sua valigetta. Diciamo che fa il suo lavoro in modo egregio. Consigliato a chi non ha budget troppo alti.
Il migliore sul mercato per rapporto qualità prezzo
Questo microfono un piccolo miracolo di ingegneria. Rispetto ad altri modelli della concorrenza che costano anche 5 volte tanto, questo B-1 un acquisto stra-consigliato. Ha una pulizia del suono tale da renderlo un prodotto di fascia professionale. Nella confezione inclusa un’elegante valigetta di metallo di pregevolissima fattura, un filtro anti-pop e uno shock mount. Il tutto ad un prezzo praticamente regalato, come nella filosofia Behringer.
Buena relación calidad / precio
Buena calidad de sonido, micrfono adecuado para las primeras grabaciones de voz en home studio, con una calidad que supera al precio.
Acquistato in offerta a poco pi di un centianio di euro. Soddisfattissimo. Arriva a casa con una comodissima valigetta ( solida, non morbida ), all’interno della stessa potrete trovare il microfono, il supporto antiurto con elastici e un cappuccio in spuma antipopper.
Il microfono risulta essere un oggetto ben fatto di un discreto peso, fatto in metallo e visibilmente solido.
Io lo sto utilizzando per tutto: registrazioni, conduzioni radio, videochiamate, canto e parlato. Ottima resa sonora, pu competere tranquillamente con microfoni ben pi costosi.
Consigliatissimo per chi voglia iniziare a farsi uno studio di registrazione casalingo o a chi ha bisogno di un microfono a condensatore ( podcast, youtube, videoblog ) senza vendere un rene.

ottimo acquisto
Ottimo rapporto qualit prezzo. Uso il microfono per cantare e sono decisamente soddisfatto, buona fattura e buona qualit. Non sento troppa differenza di quanto registrato con microfoni che costano 10 volte tanto. Sicuramente un ottima scelta come primo microfono.
Due anni di utilizzo intensivo e ancora perfetto
Utilizzato con voci, chitarre acustiche e svariati altri strumenti per registrazioni domestiche. Assolutamente soddisfatto.
Buon prodotto
Ciao, buon prodotto, buna qualit nella registrazione, spedizione puntuale e pacco integro, consigliato
e da una buena respuesta y un sonido de calidad
me llego perfectamente y funciona perfectamente no tengo ninguna queja con este producto
Buen micro calidad precio
Excelente micrfono si lo que quieres es subir de calidad. Bueno si no tienes lugares aislados al 100%.
Calidad precio inigualable!
El Behringer B-1 es un micrfono condensador de estudio bastante bueno y econmico. Consta de una pequea clavija y 3 modos en el micrfono para ajustarlo mejor a tus grabaciones.
Llevo como 2 aos con el y como el primer da con un uso casi a diario.
Lo recomiendo tanto para home studio como para semi estudio profesional.
These microphones are simply fantastic. I purchased this one as a backup, as I depend on my original one so much. For the price – the clarity is amazing. I use it for wedding ceremonies to pick up the officiant and couple from a small straight stand located low down in the middle. It works like a charm to pick up every bit of the program – even the sniffles! Best of all – it stays down and out of the way of pictures. Can’t live without it now!
I’ve also professionally recorded audio with it in a studio. We chose to use this microphone over some of the other studio ones due to its quality. Yes – there were a couple of the very high end that were nicer, but this one was sure a lot better than many others we were using at a fraction of the price!
Excelente relación calidad/precio
Excelente micrfono para su precio. Tengo tambin un Rode NT1 y no tiene mucho que envidiarle unque el Rode es otro clsico muy bien equipado. Si quieres un micro para homestudio y no quieres gastarte una pasta es una muy buena eleccin.
Behringer B1
A dispetto del prezzo e del nome, un capolavoro! Suono bilanciato e caldo, perfetto per la voce.
Ho eseguito delle registrazioni e sono ancora stupefatto.
Hablando de relacion CALIDAD / PRECIO, porsupuesto.
Por lo que te cuesta un Shure SM58, tienes un microfono de condensador de gran diafragma, ideal para locucion, canto en estudio.
Ya que al se un microfono de condensador, y es muy sensible a bajas precuentas o a manupulacion directa.
Gracias a que nos inclulle la araa, podemo usarlo casi directamente solo necesitamos un cable XLR conectado a una mesa de sonido o interface de audio con alimentacion de +48v tambien llamada PHANTOM
Mikrofo
ok fazla bilgim yoktu baktm ettim ipari verdim hala da pek bir fikrim yok. Gzel evde kayt iin ideal olsa gerek Benim iimi gryor.Baka bir rn bakyodum gece sarhoken bunun sipariini vermiim.
Great product. Comes with the case, cover and stand connector. The sound is amazing.
Absolutely amazing microphone. I went from a 20 Neewer 800 to this Microphone and the difference is amazing, there is so much more clarity with the B-1 and pair this with a Scarlett Solo and you will have an amazing sounding microphone. It came in a really cool suitcase as well so that adds to the value. I use this for recording rap vocals and I have to say this mic sounds great and that is with no effects or adjustments adding in post production programmes. I would really recommend this to anyone who wants to start recording professional vocals.
Exceptional value for money
Exceptional value for money. Compared side-by-side with a real U87 – the legendary (2000!) mic that this one seems to be emulating – it would take a highly trained ear to tell the difference. This microphone is absolutely up to the task of commercial recording, and should be a consideration for any budget-conscious artist or engineer.
Ho acquistato questo microfono e provandolo fin da subito in studio ho sentito un suono completamente diverso dal microfono montato in precedenza,appunto un suono migliore e privo di disturbi o ronzii.Una qualit davvero ottima e mi consente di registrare la mia voce con un normale parlato fino al catturare i cantati pi acuti senza danneggiarne le dinamiche e con una totale naturalezza.Lo consiglio vivamente a chi non vuole spendere tanto ma non vuole rinunciare alla giusta qualit.
El mejor micrófono
Excelente micrfono lo recomiendo ampliamente es uno de los mejores que he probado su calidad es de lo mejor 🙂
Ottimo!
Ottimo ottimo ottimo.
Ne avevo sentito parlare bene.
Per chi ama la voce calda.
Vale molto pi del prezzo.
Fine
Suits all purposes
The Behringer B-1 is an excellent microphone for the money. Best 70 I have spent in a long time. I use this professionally on a weekly basis, fit for use from home music recording to professional voice over work, although not specifically designed for it, it acts as an apt replacement for a boom mic if you are careful. Highly recommended!
consiglio a tutti posseggo 5 microfoni uguali e continua ad acquistare questo specifico microfono perche e davvero professionale e rimanda la voce molto pulito e senza distorsioni con diaframma largo anti rumore viene consegnato con una valigetta anti urti professionale buonissima MANIFATTURA utilizzo microfono per la ia stazione radio e per cantare in studio non mi anno mai dato un problema peso notevole ma davvero un gran microfono da prestazioni elevate
Quality item
Not user it yet but from the look and feel I’m happy with the purchase. Just got to figure out how to configure it in the software I’m using then looking forward to where this venture might take me.
Buena calidad a buen precio
Calidad xlr en un micro de verdadero condensador. Conectado a una 202-HD el sonido mejora mucho respecto a un micro electret con jack.
Superb
Wow! This mic lives up to its reputation as a superb value for money item, I have had no problems with it and would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great value for money condenser mic. It also comes with a shock mount and hard-case…Bonus!
Molto soddisfatto
Veramente un bel prodotto !! Non sono un esperto del settore e non ho fatto prove scientifiche ma regista veramente in modo pulito.
Usando la spugna in dotazione il filtro anti pop che ho comprato diventa completamente inutile anche cantando a distanza ravvicinata.
Lo ho usato con la Focusrite Scarlett per registrare tramite PC e sono molto soddisfatto.
La flying box (valigetta) in cui viene fornito molto carina e contiene microfono, sospensione e spugna.
Excelente
Estoy muy contento con todo, excelente atencin, lleg antes de lo esperado… definitivamente volver a comprar aqu. A parte es muy confiable.
Microfono perfetto!
Adoro il mio nuovo microfono, l’ho affiancato ad un’asta PROEL RSM180 e alla mia Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 ed perfetto!
Suoni caldi, puliti, neanche un minimo rumore di fondo o di disturbo, nonostante a volte ci possano essere fonti di rumori nella stanza o dalle cuffie in preascolto. Veramente soddisfatto, il kit completo di filtro antivento-pop, ragno e cassetta da trasporto sono poi la ciliegina sulla torta!
Ottimo microfono voce
Ho acquistato questo microfono dopo aver letto le recensioni che ne parlavano bene; dopo averlo testato confermo che un ottimo microfono che consente di ottenere ottime registrazioni senza spendere una follia. I materiali sono buoni. Consigliato
microfono a condensatore
arriva con una spedizione molto veloce microfno perfetto arriva dentro ad una valigetta molto resistente e robusta con al propio interno un ragno e libretto di istruzioni ed una spugna che fa da filtro antipop consiglio questo articolo a chi si sta avvicinando al mondo della musicale in un modo diciamo professionale
No soy muy experto en el tema de microfona, pero despus de leer algunas reviews me decid por este modelo para empezar. Debo decir que se obtiene un sonido ntido, con muy poco ruido de fondo. Es perfecto para grabar con calidad semi-profesional en un home studio. Personalmente creo que para principiantes es una buena eleccin. Hay otras opciones mejores, por supuesto, pero obviamente al doble del precio. As que si quieres un micro con una calidad decente y a precio asequible, ste es el adecuado. Incluye adems un maletn de transporte bastante robusto, una araa de sujecin y una funda de espuma.
The B-1 is a truly excellent microphone for its price point – and holds its own against much more expensive microphones. I own several B-1s and use them mostly on vocals, but they also work well on acoustic instruments.
The B-1 is the little brother of the B-2 but in most ways it is actually better. It has better sensitivity and noise characteristics. The B-2’s strength is the switchable polar pattern (cardioid, omni, figure-8) which the B-1 doesn’t have (cardioid only). Unless you need omni or figure-8 pickup, then go for the B-1. It sounds better and you’ll save money.
Behringer B-1 microfono a condensatore.
arrivato prima dei tempi previsti, prima di acquistare questo microfono ero un p indeciso poich alcune persone mi dicevano che beringher non ha mai creato prodotti buoni, invece a mio parere beringher ha migliorato di parecchio sia come rapporto qualit prezzo che come componenti, il microfono molto bello, robusto e suona molto bene… e molto chiaro di voce.. lo consiglio… anzi varrebbe di pi come prezzo..
Sono un musicista da parecchi anni e solo ultimamente mi sono addentrato nel mondo del canto! Ho preso questo microfono consigliato da amici che registrano per lavoro e devo dire che per il prezzo davvero un ottimissimo microfono, caldo e non distorce per niente. Consigliatissimo!
Very happy with this mic, far better than the Blue Yeti I’d been using and had paid more for, it always had a slight hum I could never get rid of. This mic has no hum and is crystal clear.
If you have not used one; a well designed condenser microphone is like a beautiful brand new squeaky clean massive window. This one is well designed. Condensers make any other type of microphone seem like a smaller or dirtier window. And, just like a real window, the larger the better so this unit has a 1″ capsule which is about tops. A lot of the cheaper “home” condensers are 3/4″ or smaller and the smaller they are the noisier they are. Beware though as some measure the size of the surround to make the 3/4″ capsule up to a 1″ paper specification and the 1″ to 1.25. Naughty.
Like all condensers this one has to have phantom power. Near fifty volts of umph on its XLR lead to breath life into it. Not all phantom power quite reaches the voltage it should and lower values will mean a bit more noise. You get your phantom power from a mixer or perhaps a combined microphone amplifier and conversion box. You also need a lot of gain and the quality of the microphone amplifier will matter too. So if all is not well when using your condenser don’t forget the rest of the system.
If you have a good loud singing voice then the -10dB switch will be essential as the headroom is not massive. And remember, don’t balance it all so that the levels sound good while you are recording – make them work for the file which probably means it will all sound way too quiet in your headphones as you lay down your track. That’s headroom for you!
If you place the microphone close then you will want to take out the natural tip-up in the bass. A pop-shield may well be necessary as condensers are particularly prone. Like all condensers these should be handled with care. The diaphragm doesn’t like getting damp so cold/warm transitions aren’t great and I always handle microphones like a valuable chronometer anyway. All of mine came with the case and the suspension mount.
Behringer get a hard time over reliability. So far I have purchased two brace plus one over more than five years with no issues whatsoever. Well, not quite true. The elastic in the suspension mounts do stretch if the microphones are permanently mounted so that they go a bit droopy after a few years. I use mine for voice-over work a lot and in-vision too. It is a general rule that the greater audience have no interest in good vision or sound quality (and why should they?) but I keep getting praised for my sound quality when I use these. That has got to mean something!
Devo dire che ero un p scettico all’inizio, visto che ho sempre utilizzato shure o neumann, anche se di questa marca, ho sentito tutti parlarne abbastanza bene. Acquistata per fare un regalo, arrivata nella sua splendida valigettam, che di per s fa una gran figura, poi il supporto fatto molto bene, ma la spugna eccezzionale, non occorrono dunque antipop e cose del genere, la spugna fa tutto, oltretutto mi sono meravigliato di quanto sia caldo e corposo il diaframma, se dovete fare radio, o doppiaggio, quest’articolo va oltre il ” buono per iniziare “. consigliatissimo a tutti! penso infatti di acquistarne uno anche per me
Behringer B-1 microfono a condensatore cardioide
Molto soddisfatto del campo di azione e risposta.
Ora lo utilizzo per la voce e mi ha dato buoni risultati.
Awesome microphone.
Awesome mics this is a keeps for the money.
Great mic for vocals.
Nice microphone…I just need to work on the feedback.
Di solito prodotti come questi ti fanno pensare che visto la marca (siamo razzisti noi musicisti e soprattutto aspiranti ) e la fabbricazione Made in china, non sia sinonimo di qualit o di durevolezza… Purtroppo ci sbagliamo perch se lo era vero anno fa, ora come ora molto diverso, questi prodotti ti stupiscono e ti fanno rivedere tutte le tue opinioni troppo faciliste…
Questo b1 senza fronzoli, ben fatto e ha tutto il necessario, costa poco si, ma ne varrebbe di pi se calcoliamo quanto altre marche famose fanno pagare i loro microfoni e la loro qualit non supera quella del b1 nemmeno raddoppiando le cifre…
Oltre alle tante considerazioni di marketing devo dire che il microfono rende molto bene se viene utilizzato in accoppiata a pre di valore, li sentirete tutto il range dinamico e non ne farete pi a meno.
Ottimo sulla voce ma sicuramente un tutto fare, ha uno spettro in frequenza molto lineare non gli mancano per nulla le frequenze basse rispetto ad altri microfoni di fascia molto pi alta e sulle medie alte di comporta molto bene , non mi sembra mai “chiuso” .
Insomma visto il peso contenuto, la dotazione, la qualit e la resa , come non consigliaro buona behringer a tutti
Best on the market.
The best on the market for the price. I owned a C1 previously and found the noise level a bit high at times. This one is perfect with no noise at all. Have used it live and for recording and it is excellent sound reproductio
Un bel microfono
Un bel microfono, sicuramente ci sono microfoni molto pi professionali ma direi che vale il prezzo che l’ ho pagato!
ice condenser mic i have connectad to my roland quad capture usd interface
xonigliabile a tutti i radioamatori
molto bello fa il suo lavoro egregiamente
lo sto usando con un ICOM 7000 e va alla grande sono molto soddisfatto
Really good
This is, for me, an upgrade to a home studio mic. I don’t usually bother with mics as for what I want to record a decent phone will do the job well enough. I got this and a little mixing desk (also Behringer) to hook up to my phone so I could use it as a digital 4 track. I’ve not done much using it yet, but I’ve recorded a few bits and I’m very pleased with the results. It picks up every sound in the room and the reproduction is as good as anything more expensive I’ve used. The case is solid and the holder for it is pretty substantial. It’s not solved the ongoing problem I have with not having much in the way of talent, but as a mic it’s a good thing. I think a pop filter is a must, and obviously I have a phantom power unit. For the money, I can’t see me ever needing anything better. I’ve got a cheap Behringer XM8500 Ultravoice which is fine for anything live, this will probably never leave my house.
Recently sold a Rode NT2000, then decided I wanted to do some recording again. Not being able to afford another Rode and after reading rave reviews on Amazon.COM, I decided I would buy the Behringer B-1. It did not disappoint me. It has less functionality than my multi pattern Rode did but… It sounds really good. The Behringer B-1 sounds clean and natural. I am able to record with my eq completely flat. 4 feet off mic, sounds excellent too, it does not sound off mic. Behringer has a winner here and I would buy this mic again. My order was fulfilled by Amazon.ca and service was perfect.
Wonderful product i have used this mic on a few occasions in recordings amazing quality , i am very pleased with this product and would recommend it to anyone wanting a mic and have a small budget . Get this one you won’t be disappointed
Robusto e bilanciato.
Il prodotto perfettamente funzionante. Microfono sensibile e dalla resa perfetta. Robusto e bilanciato. Ricordo che necessit di alimentazione phantom.
A good microphone at a descend price that would allow me ...
I did my research before buying this microphone so I new what I should expect. A good microphone at a descend price that would allow me to record demos of my music and my lectures for my online courses. The microphone performs as I expected it. It has stronger lower frequencies (I knew that) which is what I needed for recording lectures and especial acoustic guitar which sometimes has a ‘silvery’ tone (and B-1 takes care of this nicely). Very clear recordings (essential to any good microphone). Overall, I am very happy with the result.
Pro!
dal punto di vista professionale lo si deve ritenere un valido e robusto microfono, onesto e con un rapporto qualit prezzo adeguato ad ogni utilizzo che non richieda una assoluta qualit ma una affidabile possibilit di utilizzo, lo strumento che NON deve mancare ad ogni professionista.
Love the look and sound of this mic. Its just an over all great product.

Qualità molto buona in rapporto al prezzo
microfono che soddisfa ampiamente le esigenze di home recording ad un prezzo accessibile. Consigliatissimo. Spedizione da Germania arrivata con 1 giorno di anticipo rispetto alla previsione.
Sono contentissimo!!! Rapporto qualit/prezzo stupefacente!!! Professionale. Ottimo e consigliato! Avviso che nella confezione manca il cavo. Quindi compratelo a parte! 😉
Very good for vocals, but too much high frequency. Overall a good product for starting stage

Buena calidad, completo y buenrecio.
Tiene una calidad de sonido excepcional. El precio est bien. Con su funda de espuma te ahorras el tener que ponerle la pantalla antipop y es ms cmodo. Lo del maletn es una pasada, aunque lo uso poco porque ocupa mucho, pero para un regalo quedas que te pasas!
I’ve been using this microphone for voice-overs and vocal recordings and I am not disappointed. It takes a minimal of equalization to get it sounded like a microphone three to four times its price.
Ottimo prodotto ed ottimo veditore. Per quel che costa direi che di ottima qualit. Mi sto trovando benissimo. Lo consiglio.
Great Quality - great price.
I wanted a mic for my home studio, and it is excellent. I do lots of on air work from my studio, and this fulfills my needs. The quality is great, it doesn’t pick up hardly any background noise, and like I say, well worth it’s cost.
Currently I have a nice collection of lesser expensive large condenser mice. I would rate this one one of my best.

Just what A Beginner needs !!!
I am just a newbie who has set up his first studio and this mic came highly recommended. I must say, I am very very happy with what I have experienced so far. Depending on your mix settings you can get recordings of the slightest dynamics of the singers performance. It comes in its own little steel box and also includes a shock mount and a foam-filter-wind-shield thingy.
It does everything I need it to do. it wired into my sound board easily without any hassle. Good quality sound.

Great Sound
This microphone has really nice sound and for the price, is an absolute bargain. I use it for creating tutorials and I’ve had comments from some of my students about the clarity they hear during the tutorials.
I ordered this a while back, when the price was around the 60 mark, even now the Behringer B1 is still excellent value.
The microphone is heavy condenser microphone which produces fantastic results. We’re looking to switch all our (expensive) microphones to the B1’s just to have a consistently good sound.
The carry case is excellent, and very handy to keep the microphone free from damage and dust. I’d recommend also purchasing a microphone stand which can be found via Amazon too.
One thing worth noting, the Behringer B1 does require phantom power in order for it to work, though if you don’t have a mixer or desk that supports it, you can pick up the Behringer Xenyx 502 which does support the B1 adequately. Behringer Xenyx 502 mixe
Extremely good value and good quality
You should ideally use this microphone through a good preamp to appreciate its quality.
When I first purchased this microphone I ran it through a small Behringer Xenyx802 mixing desk, but found I couldn’t get a good response from it. After much struggling I went and bought the highly rated (and much more expensive) Audio-Technica AT2035, but continued to struggle. I eventually realised the flat sound was due to the poor microphone pre-amplifiers in the Xenyx mixer. So I replaced it with a Mackie 402VLZ4, plugged in the AT2035 but continued to struggle with its thin sound. Out of desperation I retrieved the Behringer B-1 from the drawer (I had once been on the verge of selling it), plugged it in and Wham! It had the sparkle, clarity, depth, presence, and musicality that the AT2035 did not have. This microphone makes the highly rated AT2035 (which costs more than twice as much) seem dull in comparison.
I’ve seen many people in various forums criticising this microphone, but I believe they have not even tried it and are only doing so because it’s a Behringer. I agree that their small Xenyx desks are not fantastic, but their microphones are a quality bargain; they are high quality at a low price. In blind tests on the internet, it has been found that even Behringer’s XM8500 dynamic microphone is slightly better than the Shure SM58, and sells at around a third of the price.
Unfortunately, the shockmount cradle that is supplied with this microphone is pretty poor. When knocked, the elastic can become easily unhinged, and its fiddly getting it back properly. After a short while the elastic becomes very loose. Consequently, I threw the elastic part away and replaced it with some elastic hair ties, but doing that requires some figuring out.
I should add that I would have given this microphone five stars had it been better able to reproduce the lower harmonics of my baritone voice, and a better shockmount cradle, but for the price, this is very worth using for studio pop vocals, even if it means eventually purchasing a better shockmount.
Very good
I purchased this mic to try and get some home recording done (Mostly acoustic folkey stuff). I am very happy with the mic. My budget was very limited, and so price was a key thing for me, and like many people I looked across many other websites for reviews of the mic, and not a lot of the reviews were as good as I would have liked, but due to budget I went for this mic anyway. Since purchasing the mic however I have realised that the bad reviews were simply people being equipment snobs! I can find no fault with the mic whatsoever. It does exactly what I want it to do, was easy to use, and I am very impressed with the quality of the recordings I am getting.
I will say however as a simple note, (and as I believe other people have already said) you will need Phantom power for this mic. For anyone who doesn’t know, phantom power is simply a particular voltage (48V I believe) DC power supply required for the mic to run. This can be acheived via a dedicated phantom power supply (20 ish quid) or most mixing desks will supply phantom power (but check it does first!). I personally use a Behringer 802 mixer (~45) for my phantom power.
So to sum it up, I think the mic is excellent, will give you pretty decent recordings and is fantastic value for money!
I compare tested this against an MXL770. The MXL had only slightly better clarity and response to typical processing like compression, reverb and EQ. It’s a very capable mic.
But the Behringer package is outstanding; does basically the same, but at amazing value. Virtually no noise, a pad switch and bass roll off, shock mount, wind cover and decent case.
Hard to beat for the budget studio!
I bought this to use for home recording of vocals, acoustic guitar and other instruments and am really impressed with the results so far.
It comes with a padded & very solid hard case, a suspension shockmount microphone clip plus pop shield but it does require phantom power so unless you have mixer or soundcard that can provide this a separate power supply unit in necessary like the Behringer PS400 Micropower Phantom Power Supply.
excellent purchase
I bought this mic for home recording use of both acoustic guitar and vocal tracks. The response on it is exceptional in both cases and for the price I cannot think of a better purchase
Wah way, behringers are cheap, wah wah behringers are knock off, Shut up! This is a great product for the price, don’t be put off by people who pay 300 quid for slightly better quality then turn the noses up at you for not having money to spare, this product will be enough for your amateur recording needs by far and if you used it professionally, 99.5% won’t be able to tell the difference!
I've used this mic for vocals, podcasting, guitar work... all good things. It sounds fantastic. I've since stopped using any other mic in my small studio.

Behringer B-1 Single
Fr Gesang und akustische Gitarre bestens geeignet. Ich nutze das Ganze mit einem Tube Ultragain MIC200 von Behringer (Vorverstrker fr das Mic , 48V) und gehe dann in meine Soundkarte am PC (Audigy 2 ZS). Als Audiosequenzer nutze ich Cubase Essential IV. Top Sound fr wenig Geld.
If you are setting up a home studio on a shoestring budget then this mic will give you quality vocals. So far I’m very impressed with the results.
Note that this mic needs a phantom power supply, so if you are going direct into your computer you will need to buy Behringers phantom power supply for around 20.
it is a standard studio microphone pattern with good pickup in front of the microphone and good drop off behind which helps with feedback reduction.
i have a home recording studio and it is exactly what i needed it gets good pickup.
remember to get a good wire though as the quality of the wire is just as important as the quality of the microphone as i found out when adding a very bad wire which allowed bad hissing.
This mic is a little diamond! Response is lovely and flat, it’s crystal clear and the low cut filter is great if like me you are a folk fiddler and can’t stop yourself tapping your feet! The mic body is very solid, as is the suspension mount and case. For those new to phantom power, make sure you buy a high quality XLR cable though, my mistake was to get a cheap one, there was so much noise from the cable that the recording would have been unusable. A high quality cable made all the difference. I use this with a Xenyx 1002 also by Behringer and the results are definitely studio quality. Also worth mentioning if you get it and go “hey this mount wont screw on my mic stand” there is an unscrewable brass insert in it and with that out it fits larger diameter threads!
I compared this mic back to back with my Shure SM57 recording some guitar parts and can say that from my stand point as an amateur enthusiast it was easier for me to produce a better recorded tone with the behringer than my SM57.
Overall a great mic and excellent complement to my SM57.
This is a great all purpose large diaphragm condenser mic. Sounds good on guitar amps, percussion, acoustic guitar, and female vocals. Can't beat it for the price
