The B-5 is a professional gold-sputtered diaphragm condenser microphone featuring 2 interchangeable capsules for different pickup patterns (cardioid and omnidirectional). It is perfect for acoustic instruments, vocals and overhead miking. Its ultra low-noise transformerless FET input eliminates low-frequency distortion. Its -10dB attenuator can be used with high volume signal sources, while the low-cut filter eliminates floor rumble. The B5 includes a rugged hard case, stand adapter and windscreen. Frequency response: 20Hz-20kHz, requires 48V phantom power.

Behringer B5 Mic Customer Review
Feature:
THIS MIC COMES WITH AN OMNI DIRECTIONAL AND A CARDIOD CARTRIDGE WHICH BOTH WORK VERY NICELY. THE MIC ALSO COMES WITH A MIC CLIP FOR USE WITH A MICROPHONE STAND AND A FOAM POP FILTER.
Quality:
THE B-5 IS MADE PRETTY STURDILLY. THE CARTRIDGES SCREW ON AND HAVE GOLD CONTACTS WHICH CONNECT TO THE MIC BODY.
Value:
PRICEWISE AND QUALITYWISE YOU'LL DO WELL WITH THIS PRODUCT- IT'LL BE MIC THAT YOU'LL USE IN YOUR STUDIO THAT'LL DO THE JOB. MY PREFERENCE IS USE THE OMNI CARTRIDGE. IT HAS A MORE OPEN AND FLATTER RESPONSE.
Sound:
THIS MICROPHONE DEFINITELY EXCEEDS THE PRICE/PERFORMANCE GAUGE. IT WORKS EXTREMELY WELL ON MICING ACOUSTIC GUITAR AND OTHER ACOUSTIC STRING INSTRUMENTS. IT ALSO WORKED BEAUTIFULLY ON VOCALS WHEN USING THE OMNI CARTRIDGE!! YOU WILL NOT GO WRONG WITH THIS MIC.
Support:
I HAVE HAD A GOOD EXPERIENCE WITH OTHER BEHRINGER PRODUCTS AND THE B-5 IS PROBABLY THE BEST YET!
Overall:

"Worth the asking price"
Feature:
Fully equipped with dual capsules, pad, and bass roll-off switch, and case.
Quality:
Seems very well crafted.
Value:
Worht the asking price in today's market of high-quality, low-cost mics.
Desirability:
I will find a use for it. Probably micing tambourine and other percussion for live performance
Sound:
This is a pretty good dual capsule microphone for $90. I have compared it to the Oktava MK 012 and the Studio Projects C-4, and there is a noticeable difference in sound quality: the MK 012 sounds better than the B5, and the C-4 sounds better than the MK 012. The B5 It is worth the $90 asking price, but paying more will get you a better sounding mic in the SP C-4.
Support:
Behringer's tech support peoiple are not always terribly well informed.
