Review: Very good - I purchased this mic to try and get some home recording done (Mostly acoustic folkey stuff). I am very happy with the mic. My budget was very limited, and so price was a key thing for me, and like many people I looked across many other websites for reviews of the mic, and not a lot of the reviews were as good as I would have liked, but due to budget I went for this mic anyway. Since purchasing the mic however I have realised that the bad reviews were simply people being equipment snobs! I can find no fault with the mic whatsoever. It does exactly what I want it to do, was easy to use, and I am very impressed with the quality of the recordings I am getting. I will say however as a simple note, (and as I believe other people have already said) you will need Phantom power for this mic. For anyone who doesn't know, phantom power is simply a particular voltage (48V I believe) DC power supply required for the mic to run. This can be acheived via a dedicated phantom power supply (£20 ish quid) or most mixing desks will supply phantom power (but check it does first!). I personally use a Behringer 802 mixer (~£45) for my phantom power. So to sum it up, I think the mic is excellent, will give you pretty decent recordings and is fantastic value for money! Review: Absolutely amazing microphone. I went from a £20 Neewer 800 ... - Absolutely amazing microphone. I went from a £20 Neewer 800 to this Microphone and the difference is amazing, there is so much more clarity with the B-1 and pair this with a Scarlett Solo and you will have an amazing sounding microphone. It came in a really cool suitcase as well so that adds to the value. I use this for recording rap vocals and I have to say this mic sounds great and that is with no effects or adjustments adding in post production programmes. I would really recommend this to anyone who wants to start recording professional vocals.
