Behringer B-5 Kondensatormikrofon

We use many of these for choirs and instruments. They are versatile, cover the low frequency range well, and with the =changeable capsules have a lot of versatility.

This is the only competition I've found for the AKG C451E under a thousand dollars. With it's smooth high end, it's at home with an acoustic guitar or a grand piano.

Typical Behringer stuff stock. Inconsistent, and cheap. Once this mic is properly modified, it comes very close to the sound of a Neumann KM84.

This small pencil microphone is great for indoor recording and records a good, natural sound especially suited for voices.
