Je ontvangt een b906, dus de foto klopt maar de titel niet.

This mic picks up signals much like a condenser mic. It does benefit from a preamp, and overall I am pleased with this mic. Buy Shure if you can, I couldn't; however this mic deliveres satisfactorily!

I wanted to have a backup for my $200 Sennheiser e906. I gig a lot, I bring my own microphones, and I don't want to be carry around an expensive (for my budget) microphone. I saw the price of the Behringer b906, and I figured I would just return it if it was cheaply made or if it sounded bad.I used it this weekend and I was pleasantly surprised. It's built very sold: cast metal body and metal grill. It sounded great on my guitar amp - two gigs, no issues.Just to do some comparison, I set up my amp in my studio, and recorded some tracks using both my e906 and the b906, and I A/B'd them using both an RTA and my ears. I kept the both mics 'flat' (did not use the switch to boost or cut anything). I was surprised at the results. Looking at the graphs from the RTA, there are some minor differences, but nothing really glaring (no odd peaks or valleys on the graph). And, just simply using my ears, I noticed that the b906 was a little 'darker' and had slightly more gain (volume not distortion) than the e906.Conclusion, I will definitely keep this mic, and will definitely use it in any live situation that I would ordinarily use the e906. I'll keep that one safe at home. The real proof will be how long it holds up in an on-the-road gigging situation. Only time will tell, but I will be putting it to the test.

I've owned all the classics including the one this is based on. This one gives me the best results for what I'm looking for. Hung over the cab over the cap edge sweet spot gives a great tone. Enough low end roll off to mitigate the proximity effect with a smooth high end. Great mic at a great price

I used it for a few shows as my bass amp mic. I hung it over the amp and it sat in front of a 12” bass speaker.All good so far and worked well enough but having both sides of the mic active simply allowed too much stage noise into the bass channel so I went back to my sm-57 from 1975, it worked better for my needs.I must add that I’m a huge Behringer fan and have lots of their gear and I will continue to use Behringer whenever possible.

Ok I'm blown away by the price of this! It's built like a tank and is so sturdy. It sounds pretty good. It's connected into our mixer and picks up my Vox amp. No distortion or any problems with this mic at all. There is 3 switches on the back for different patterns. I haven't played with that feature a ton but only have it set all the way to the right but it picks it up crystal clear. Love this mic a lot and honestly love behringer. The price to quality is insane and as a inspiring artist in a band thank you!

I've owned many mics over the years and this cheap Behringer sounds just as good as classic old AKG dynamics I've owned like the D202 & certainly performs WAY beyond what you'd expect for the small price tag of just £39.00 GBP. Frankly I wasn't expecting much, but saw it for a low price while ordering some other gear & though I'd try it. The results after using it in a pro session recently where VERY surprising!On guitar cabinet pointing directly at the speaker cone centre it yielded a very detailed and crisp clear sound recording, no doubt in part because of the built-in high-midrange/treble area boost this mic exhibits. I also mic'd up the guitar cabinet in that session with a ribbon mic off-axis to get a more fat mellow sound and the crisp edgy Behringer mic sound blends with the fatter ribbon mic sound perfectly to give me a wide choice of guitar tones in the final mix by adjusting the balance between the two (and that is before any EQ or other processing is used).I now would like to experiment with this mic further on guitar cabinet in different mic positions to see how it delivers off-axis from the speaker cone. I'd also like to try it on things like snare & toms to see what else it can do.A real surprise! I've never used Behringer mics before although I own quite a few other Behringer products including the UMC1920, ADA8200, SX2442FX mixer & a range of Behringer guitar pedals.Recommended!! I will now definitely be trying some of Behringer's other mics!

Great cheap mic for tracking snare top head. Great attack, deep tone.Much better than a 57 for that.Good guitar cab mic.Terrible for vocals, but...that's not what it's for. Haha.

Perfectly useful and functional, esp in a live setting. The eq/countour switch is effective, though i feel a high cut would be more useful than the boost. I havent compared it to the thing it sorta copies, but I can say it does the thing---- probably better choices in the studio, but that's pretty subjective anyway. No self noise of weirdness that I have noticed.Oh, they give you a decent plastic case and a clip, too. Really, get kind of a lot for $45. The plastic body is really the only turn off, and why I gave 4 stars.... It does seem like it will hold up pretty well, but it ain't a 57 🤪.

LLevo un año utilizandolos en sala de conciertos y suenan de lujo, mejor que un sm57, los filtros funcionan perfectamente. Comprare un par de ellos mas.

If you want to your instrument to be heard this one you should try. It sounds nice and absorbs a lot. Quite good for a small venue to play live music.

For being on a budget, it's perfect. Perfect for small venues, dive bars, music schools/school of rock, etc that want to have house mics but don't have the budget to buy industry standard mics from Shure, Sennheiser, etc.Perfect for guitar players that don't want to bring more expensive mics to bar gigs for fear of getting lost. Also perfect for young musicians, high school band, etc that don't have $100 to spend on a SM57 or who's parents don't want to spend that kind of money for a microphone.In a live situation it's great, sounds good, no complaints. In a recording however, you would definitely hear the difference vs using a SM57 or Sennheiser 906 (the mic this Behringer one is emulating). So if you can use one of those for recording I would. But if this mic is all you have for recording guitars, then it's fine. It won't sound bad.
