The cardioid-diaphragm B-1 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.
What is a Condenser Mic?
Condenser microphones are the ideal choice for capturing vocals and acoustic instruments. They're the primary type of microphone used in recording studios and radio stations. They are capable of capturing much more detail than dynamic microphones because of their wider, flatter frequency response. Another difference between condenser and dynamic mics is they contain active circuitry that requires phantom power (+48 V DC) for operation. You can power them from 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 is an affordable, high-quality way to put this essential studio tool to work for you. Thanks to its 1.0" capsule, it captures sound with incredible realism and sensitivity. It boasts a wide frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, enhanced by a pronounced presence boost. With its excellent transducer and gold-plated XLR output, the B-1 truly delivers on the promise of noise-free transmission.
The B-1 also gives you a switchable -10dB attenuator to capture high-volume signal sources without distorting, as well as a low-cut filter to eliminate infrasonics caused by floor rumble and other turbulence.
But That's Not All...
The B-1 is built to be your go-to condenser mic for years to come. Its tough, nickel-plated brass body can withstand all the rigors of bleary-eyed late-night recording marathons. And with its foam-padded, aluminum carrying case, it travels in safety and style. We also included a heavy-duty suspension mount and windscreen.
This condenser mic is an excellent choice for live and studio applications, and it's available at a price that will leave you with enough cash left over to secure other recording essentials. Check out the incredible B-1 at a BEHRINGER dealer near you.

The sound quality is pretty good! And the sensitivity of this microphone is incredible. I can hear my neighbors talking in the other apartments, I can hear birds outside clearly, I can even hear songs being played in car radios driving by. I really recommend this if you're looking for an ASMR microphone. That's what I use it for, and it hasn't disappointed.
It's a very good mic for the price point!

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!
Reviewed in India on September 24, 2019
Got this Behringer mic on special and it's excellent for the price I paid. Super solid construction of the mic, and sounds great for my purposes. Sounds just as good as plenty of other "streaming/podcasting" condenser mics that often cost hundreds of dollars.
