Re: [LAU] OT Microphone recommendation

People moan about Behringer but I think most of the criticism is unfair and Behringer mics are among the best *at their price point*. If you are on a limited budget then they are certainly worth looking at. I use them for choral work with my local church choir and in the past I've recorded acoustic instruments and solo vocals. I've been very pleased with the results. B-1 = large diaphragm condenser, cardioid C-2 = small diaphragm condenser, cardioid B-5 = small diaphragm condenser, cardioid or omni On 16/07/14 19:41, Ivan K wrote: B-1, every time Either the B-1 or a pair of C-2s or B-5s if you need stereo. Pair of C-2s sounds good on classical guitar if you put one over the sound hole and one over the frets. Pair of B-5s, every single time. I prefer the sound of a pair of omni mics in AB layout than a pair of cardioid mics in XY or ORTF layout, but it depends strongly on the room. If you want to hear some samples and read my notes, I wrote a few bits for my blog - some have recordings. http://www.jonathangazeley.com/2013/11/side-by-side-comparison-of-choral-re… http://www.jonathangazeley.com/2013/05/behringer-c-2-vs-c-4/ http://www.jonathangazeley.com/2013/02/behringer-haters/ Hope this helps, Jonathan
