"Behringer B1 Condenser Mic"
Feature:
Check out the Behringer website, Its got a roll of switch, and -10 attenuation is possible too, comes with shockmount, carrying case and popfilter,not a bad package actually, especially for that price
Quality:
I have the B1 since a about 3 years now, it never has let me down.
Value:
Well, the B1 is good value for money
Desirability:
zZounds is asking about the "sex appeal" of this product, what a stupid question, IT IS A MICROPHONE; - I have sex appeal, not the mic
Sound:
Whatever you read about Behringer, Yes some of their products really are of very bad quality, had a Europower mixer that broke down on its third use. But whatever, Behringer mic´s are OK, very OK indeed. The B1 is a nice sounding microphone that can compete with any condenser mic in the price range. The sound of the B1 is cristalclear, nice and even. Good for male and female vocals. OK , ist not a Neumann, but you won´t get a Neumann for that price. I can highly recommend the Behringer B1, however the quality of Behringer products, their microphones are good.
Ease of Use:
As any condenser mic
Support:
I only can talk about their German support, I needed Behringer support in regards to a Behringer mixer. Now, to be honest, their support is no good, they are unfriendly and unhelpful, Sorry Behringer, but this is the truth
Overall:
I give it it a 5, because of the Behringer german support, normaly I´d give it a 9 - (never give a 10 unless.... unless a 10 is 100% justified)

"You get what you paid for..."
Feature:
For its price i didnt expect any features other then the standard cutoff settings. Comes in a great pro-finish looking briefcase that contains/holds the: The microphone,windscreen & shock mount
Quality:
Being my 1st condenser microphone, i didn't know exactly what's the difference in quality. But since using it often i now know,
It's pretty flat-naturally so it 'NEED's an eq & compression to give it more depth & warmer tone. It's very sensitive & picks up the smallest background noise.
Value:
It's a good microphone if you want some added 'presence' in the 12khz range & above.
Desirability:
Nothing other then the price that makes it Want-able.
Sound:
Sounded good until 2 years later it started creating it's own wind/rumble sound out of no where. I checked all of my equipment & connections and noticed it was the microphone making the worst wind/rumble/pop sounds ive ever heard.
Ease of Use:
It's a simple XLR connection from the microphone to the mixer or/preamp. No manual or/ technical help needed for that.
Support:
I've havent had to call there support line yet but now that my microphone has gone psycho, it's out of warranty.
Overall:
Good microphone for the whole 2years it lasted,and i babied it. May last longer for others, but i wont buy another one as theres better for a little bit more in quality & features.Will read reviews more closely before buying from a company that focuses mainly on just pricing.
