Need a small-diaphragm condenser? This super-affordable microphone includes two interchangeable capsules with omnidirectional and cardioid pickup patterns.

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.

Sound
this mic is awesome on voice recording using omni cartridge. it's got a very flat response-it has absolutely no tinny upper end-it's real smoothe and excellent on acoustic instruments as well. with pad it's max spl's are 150 !!
Features
you also get a cardiod cartridge- for 90 bucks this small condenser mic sounds alot better on vocal recordings than a Rode NT1A and the At30305 by Audio Technica which by the way both sell for200 bucks and are strictly cardiod!!
Value
there's no other mic that can compete dollar for dollar.
The Wow Factor
I'm going to get at least 4 of these .
