Behringer B1 Review/Test - Budget home studio microphone for Vocals

The Behringer B1 is an entry-level large-diaphragm condenser mic that can be used to record vocals and instruments. It would be a great budget choice for your home studio. Listen to the audio examples and hear it for yourself. All the audio in this video was recorded on the Behringer B1 and there is no tuning or post-production on the final track except eq and compression from the SSL Bigsix.

[@jalenmack21]

Thank you for such a great review seriously!

[@kevmoxey6511]

Good job on reviewing this mic. For the money it sounded surprisingly ok.

[@TimMoxeyMusic]

Yeah I was surprised at the quality of sound for the price. We certainly live in a great time for home recording.

[@denkozlov4220]

bravo! thanks for the review

[@adrianoaraujooficial478]

Com uma voz linda dessa qualquer microfone fica bom !! Canta muito bem 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@TimMoxeyMusic]

Thank you

[@andrewdovgalo5594]

OMG! Amazing voice! I have B1 too! Thanks for your job! Good luck to you my friend!

[@TimMoxeyMusic]

Thank you so much!!

[@jxstin_sxntixgo9094]

would you recommend the mic for bedroom/home studio ?

[@milezthakid8551]

Great video! And most of all great voice! 🔥 I wana know about the white noise, I dont know correct me if I am wrong, but it seems like a quiet microphone.

[@yuhzpree]

The vocalsssssss🔥

[@quietland9217]

can I just add - bloody hell you have a beautiful voice...

[@monadeast]

Damn! You have awesome talent!

[@TimMoxeyMusic]

Thank you so much!

[@quietland9217]

great singing voice... ...

[@TimMoxeyMusic]

Thank you

[@musicsubstance]

Великолепный обзор. Великолепная музыка. Спасибо за минуты творческого восторга, дружище!❤

[@anavanesaroman]

Man love your videos, just discovered it. I'm so torn I want to buy my first versatile mic for singing and guitar. I'm currently debating between this and the AT202 😣

Have a clip, and rhe last you chose which?

[@TheCarlosAs]

Nice voice!!

[@ghostakablackpanther]

Damn this a hit with Behringer b-1 just like any other condenser you have to EQ but man she shine one your voice

[@TimMoxeyMusic]

Thank you

[@ismarrussano1457]

... Well !!! Good comparison !!!

[@sachinpratiksinha1159]

thank you for the video and you sung so well and can you suggest me some good budget interface for this mic

[@TimMoxeyMusic]

Thank you. It all depends what you are trying to do with the interface. If you just need a way to connect an XLR mic to the computer then I would recommend the Behringer Um2. It's cheap and does the job. If you want to get something that your can expand later, one of the Focusrite Scarlett range is a very good option. But I would recommend getting the 4i4 or above. I hope that helps.

[@LegendsCrew47]

Voice 🔥

[@TimMoxeyMusic]

Thanks. I'm glad you liked it

[@TrueShayari]

Hi, I want to record my written poetry professionally. Suggest me a good audio interface and microphone. But my room is not sound proof. The sound from outside comes inside our room.

[@lifegood4467]

B1 vs b2 or b2 pro ? Thanks

[@prodbyjozzu2222]

is this a great budget option for recording acoustic guitars? I'm a producer and a student so I dont have a lot of money..

[@TimMoxeyMusic]

I think it sounds ok on acoustic guitar. Depending on your budget a shure sm57 or a pair of rode m5s would probably be nicer. I’m going to do reviews of these mics soon if you are keen to hear what they sound like.

[@luciocado8493]

Oi, eu uso um b1 há muitos anos, você acredita que um sennheiser mk4 seria um upgrade grade realmente ou não? É muito melhor que o b1 ou se equiparam na mix.

[@TimMoxeyMusic]

I haven't had any experience with the mk4. I'm not sure it's going to be a massive upgrade, but it will have a different sound given that the capsules are different designs.

[@xXGABRIELITOXx100]

Hello. Akg P220 o BERHINGER B1??? Please help

[@TimMoxeyMusic]

I'll see what I can do.

[@AndyBaedal]

What do you think is better, behringer b1 or at2020?

[@TimMoxeyMusic]

I just got my at2020 yesterday.😃 I'll review it and do a comparison video for you.

[@AndyBaedal]

@@TimMoxeyMusic lol thanks Tim! What a coincidence. Looking forward for watching it

[@TimMoxeyMusic]

@@AndyBaedal I just uploaded the AT2020 review. I'll try and film the shootout tomorrow. :)

[@TimMoxeyMusic]

I got the shoot out done today! :) I hope it helps. Thanks for suggesting it.

[@AndyBaedal]

@@TimMoxeyMusic thanks man! Nice vocal u had there! After watching it, I agree what u said and went down with at2020.

[@EasyHeat]

Shut The Front Door! Ha! This mic is currently $59.99 on Amazon w/ a shock mount, foam pop filter and case?! Even if they are a tad brittle in the Hfz? A pair would be dead on useful in any budding studio. Uber-affordable drum overheads? Yes please! Great content BTW! Cheers!

[@TimMoxeyMusic]

Totally. They are a really usable sound and with a bit of processing you won't even notice the brittleness.

[@EasyHeat]

@@TimMoxeyMusic Definitely good to know man. Thanks for the informative content! Cheers!

[@AmirKhoramnejad]

wow! what's the name of this song? hold on a little longer cause you never know ... wow!

[@TimMoxeyMusic]

Thanks! I'm glad you like the song. It's call Closer. This is the full version of it if you are interested. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6ibeoileM-YiZY

[@quietland9217]

B1 is ok too....
