Description

The Behringer B2 PRO gives home and project studios a genuinely versatile main mic instead of a one-trick vocal capsule. At its core sits a 1″ gold-sputtered dual-diaphragm capsule on a pressure-gradient design, shock-mounted inside the die-cast body to keep handling noise and mechanical rumble out of your recordings.

What sets it apart from a basic condenser is pattern flexibility. Flip between cardioid for focused, off-axis-rejecting pickup, omni for room and ambient capture, or figure-eight for classic front-and-back sources like duo vocals or ribbon-style room miking. Add a switchable low-cut filter to control proximity bass buildup and a -10 dB pad for tracking loud sources like drums or guitar cabinets without clipping the input stage.

Sonically, the B2 PRO aims for a flat 20 Hz – 20 kHz response with a gentle presence lift, so vocals and acoustic instruments come through detailed and open rather than colored. A transformerless FET input keeps self-noise low and avoids the low-frequency distortion that cheaper designs introduce. Signal exits through a gold-plated 3-pin XLR connector, and like any condenser, it needs +48V phantom power from your mixer or interface to run.

Build quality matches the intended use: a satin nickel-plated brass body designed for repeated studio sessions and the occasional live gig. Behringer includes a heavy-duty suspension mount, a windscreen, and an aluminum carrying case, so it’s ready to travel and set up without hunting for extra hardware.
