Has anyone used these mikes?  Like the idea of the two capsules.  Would appreciate any info or suggestions.  Peace, musicguru

Looks pretty damn close to the Studio Projects C-4 mics, which do the same thing...  ANd they are intorducing a hyper cap for it soon, also... 

I'm not so sure anyone really uses the B-5 mic, I know I don't have anything sourced with B-5s...

Yup.  Behringer stuff is cheap for a reason.

Taping is something where the addage "you get what you pay for" is very true, with a couple notable exceptions...

Tickets are dead to me.  Except the ones I have, don't have, and lost.  Not to mention the ones you have, don't have, and lost.   And the ones that other dude has, doesn't have, and lost.  Let me know if you need some tickets, I'm happy to oblige.

Ok, Ok,  since the Behringers seem to be not the mike of choice, what can you suggest in a mike that has different capsules?  Don't want a big mike that has different patterns to choose from.. Looking for something small that's around maybe the $200 - $500 price range per mike.  What can you guys suggest.  I tape everything from jazz, to choral to synphonic to classical pipe organ,   Thanks to all in advance, peace musicguru

You have a ton of options for <$500 per mic. At the low end would be the Studio Project C4s (card and omni only) or Superlux or Octava (card,omni and hyper). A complete set of Octavas would be around $800, and I think the Superluxes would run a little less. If you just wanted to start with the body and a set of card caps, you could probably find a used pair of AKG 391s for around $450 or a used pair of Audix 1290s for that price. You could find a used pair of AKG 480s for $800, and probably a similar deal on a pair of MG 200s or MBHO 600s. For a little more, you might find a used pair of Neumann 140s.

i have used the b-5's a couple of times for studio sessions- so cant judge on their qualities in the field, but let me tell you what i found with these mics which is what i find with every behringer product- felt cheap, sounded cheap, produced lower than average results, would have done better using a sm57.
