Best microphones....
thanks for this insight.... am setting a studio and would like to know the better mic for home recording.... a B-2 or C-4 BEHRINGER?
actually none of the mentioned, Behringer is out on a limp with their range of microphones.
Avoid their mics, better buy some of their dynamics processors. That is their speciality: decent sounding gear at a reasonable price.
Instead have a look at Thomann's own re-branded (China clones). Goes under "t.Bone". Good quality, good price. They got a broad range, the SC-1000 might just be your everyday China clone of U87, but it is probably still worth it. I don't know, have not heard it.
What I know is this: I own their clones of the SM 57 and 58Beta - they sound JUST like the original
.
I also got a pair of EM-800's (small condensers), which sound amazing, used them as overhead for cymbals. They have this incredible silky smooth sound (mmmmlove em').
So I would'nt hesitate to buy one of their large capsules - they are pretty cool with money back, really friendly.
<suppose you could go with another chineese:Superlux E205 (large diaphragm). Superlux is actually a microphone company, Neumann helped found (when taking on new markets, I guess). Superlux boast that one of their mic's was used for some famous speaches by Chairman Mao. So a bit of history 4 ya there
