Behringer B-2 PRO Microphone - Dual 1" Diaphragm, Multiple Pickup Patterns

Behringer B-2 PRO Microphone - Dual 1" Diaphragm, Multiple Pickup Patterns delivers professional studio performance in a robust metallic body and is ideal for recording, broadcast and live capture.

The B-2 PRO is a studio microphone with a dual 1" diaphragm offering selectable pickup patterns; its primary published direction type is cardioid for focused capture. The microphone covers a wide frequency range from 20 to 20,000 Hz, ensuring full-spectrum response for vocals and instruments.

Built with wired XLR-3 connectivity, the microphone requires 48 V DC phantom power and consumes just 3 mA, making it compatible with standard studio preamps and interfaces. The output impedance is 100 Ω and the device maintains a strong signal-to-noise ratio of 77 dB, giving clear, low-noise recordings.

The B-2 PRO includes an on/off switch and a microphone holder for secure mounting; its total harmonic distortion is rated at 1%, preserving natural tonal character even at higher levels. Physically the microphone measures 210 mm in height, 56 mm in width and depth, with a diameter of 5.6 cm and weighs 550 g, offering a solid, professional feel.

Typical use cases include vocal tracking in a home or professional studio, close-miking acoustic guitars, capturing overheads for drums, and broadcast applications where reliable wired XLR connectivity is required. Its metallic finish and durable construction make it suitable for frequent handling and studio permanence alike.

The microphone’s low noise floor and wide frequency response highlight key selling points: reliable cardioid rejection, versatile pickup patterns, and professional connectivity. These features make the B-2 PRO a cost-effective choice for musicians, podcasters and engineers seeking quality capture without complexity.

For setup, pair the B-2 PRO with a 48 V phantom power supply and a quality preamp or audio interface with XLR input to maximize dynamic range and minimize noise. The included holder simplifies mic placement and helps achieve consistent results across sessions.
