Behringer C2 Vs Behringer B5 - Both Great Budget Pencil Mics!!

The two Behringer mics, the C2 and B5 perform amazingly well; especially when you consider the price of them. The B5 in particular is very impressive, both in sound and lack of self noise. In fact, my favourite cheap pencil mic.

The Behringer C2 comes in a box of two and a stereo bar which makes it great for taking ambience. It has a slightly stronger top end so in my opinion, it does particularly well at that. I would hesitate to use it for drum cymbals with that top edge.

The Behringer B5 has a more subtle sound and so works nicely with speech. It shows immediately in my video. It comes with two capsules and the mono one is really good for capturing groups of people evenly.

Both brilliant buys and well worth trying.
