Does anyone have experience with these mics. I record acoustic guitar and the word on the B-1 is that it is great for this application. I have a 4041 and wonder if the B-1 would be a complement or a duplicate.
Thanks for the help.
 
i tried a pair of B1's on acoustic guitar and i did not like the results at all. i highly recommend the B1 for acoustic guitar.

i also recommend the C1 for vocals. The B1 and C1 are fantastic budget mics that every beginner should start out with, and every pro should have in his closet.
 
Jon, if you already have a 4041 then I don't think you need a B1. They're fairly similar sonically, in that they're both neutral-sounding and somwhat bright. If you want a mic to complement the 4041, then you might want to look at something with a bit of color, such as an ADK Vienna or MXL V69ME. These mics record acoustic gtr well plus can work great on vocals.

Other inexpensive complementary choices would be Oktava MC012, Oktava MK319.
