From Our Catalog
Featuring upgraded electronics and a sleek new look, the new SP microphone product line is the result of 5 years of research and development by Brent Casey, veteran microphone designer and Vice President of Engineering of Studio Projects. The new electronics allow for better signal to noise ratio, as well as greater dynamic range.
All B Series microphones (except the TB1) now feature -10dB and -20dB pads.
The new Studio Projects B3 is the ultimate in large diaphragm condenser microphones at this price anywhere. This microphone has all the technical refinements to be an enduring classic . With features you would expect in a world class microphone, the B3 offers 3 recording pattern positions (cardioid, omni and a true figure eight) with -10dB and -20dB pads and Hi-Pass filter.
Equipped with a true 1in. 3 um gold sputtered dual gold large diaphragm in a pressure gradient transducer capsule, the B3 will ensure the finest quality of recordings while offering linear response and a classic deep rich sound. The B3 can be connected to any external microphone preamplifier or mixing console which provides 48-volt phantom power or via any 48-volt external power supply.
The B3 will compete favorably with microphones costing substantially more. If you're looking for that traditional "German" sounding pedigree for your studio, but simply can't or won't spend the big dollars it takes to get it, then the Studio Projects B3 it the microphone for you. You can buy a pair and still save over $1,900.00!!! Think of what that can buy you!

Studio Projects B3 Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone Reviews
10 out of 10
"It's a keeper."
Feature:
3-pattern optional low cut or pad What more do you want on a mic?
Quality:
No problems.
Value:
Wish I had it 30 years ago, at this price.
Sound:
Excellent as Side mike for mid-side stereo recording. For Mid Side, matched mikes are not necessary: I even use it with SM57 as the Mid mike, e.g., recording acoustic guitar. SP B1 or C1 would be an even better companion. Sounds great through SP VTB-1 preamp.
Ease of Use:
C'mon, it's a mic ... Just be sure the phantom power is on ...
Overall:
It's a keeper.
