The B-5 comes with interchangeable cardioid and omnidirectional capsules, making it a fantastic all purpose condenser microphone. It is designed to capture your sounds with incredible realism, sensitivity and accuracy, and is perfect for acoustic instruments, vocals and overhead miking.

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 that 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.

The B-5 is an affordable, high quality way to put a gold sputtered diaphragm condenser mic to work for you. It comes with two interchangeable capsules: omnidirectional for picking up sound on all sides of the mic, and cardiod for picking up the source signal while shunning off axis sound. With its excellent transducer and gold plated XLR output, the B-5 is very neutral sounding and truly delivers on the promise of noise free transmission. It also features a switchable -10 dB 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 turbulance.
