What is a Condenser Mic?
Condenser microphones are the ideal choice
for capturing vocals and acoustic instruments.
They are the primary type of microphone used
in recording studios and radio stations. The B-5
mic is capable of capturing much more detail
than most dynamic microphones because
of its wider and  atter frequency response.
Another di erence between condenser and
dynamic mics is they contain active circuitry
that requires phantom power (+48 V) for
operation. You can power your B-5 using any
phantom power equipped BEHRINGER XENYX
mixer – plus enjoy the bene ts of our state-of-
the-art XENYX mic preamps.
