Behringer B-2

Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone

The Behringer B-2 is a large-diaphragm multipattern condenser, offering both cardioid and omni polar patterns.

The mic uses a 1-inch, dual-diaphragm capsule that is gold sputtered and shockmounted. The amplifier circuit is solid-state (FET) with a transformerless output.

The B-2 was replaced in Behringer’s product line by the B-2 Pro, which has superior specifications and a third polar pattern.

The Behringer B-2 is also known as: B2.

The mic was released in 2001.
