BehringerB 906 Dynamic Microphone for Instrument and Vocal Applications,Black

I am a singing drummer who usually wears a headset, but with in ear monitors, I didn't care for so much on my head and decided to try this mic. I have other Behringer mic's and equipment and it has always been top notch and never failed me. I saw some reviews of this and for instruments you can hardly tell between it and an SM57 and for vocals pretty much can't tell the difference between it and an SM58. I also like that I can bring it in from a boom on the side and not have much in my way for drumming, and swing it over my head when not in use. Great quality for vocals and extreme value for the money! Also looks cool.

Didn’t know what to expect with the sound quality, but ordered it anyway after a review I watched on YouTube. I am ecstatic at the sound of this microphone for recording guitar. As soon as it arrived, I connected it and started making impulse responses of my G12K-85 speaker. When I blend these IRs with IRs of the same speaker using an SM-57 the magic happens. My mixes sound amazing with this blend of microphones. I wish I had found out about this microphone years ago. For around $35 USD I found a true gem. Don’t sleep on this mic and get one if you are considering the purchase. You’ll be glad you did.

It sounds good but for some reason mine is super super sensitive to electronic noise… it rings if it gets to close to certain electronics

Wow, better than I expected. I was planning to buy a Sennheiser e906 but I thought I give this one a try because of the price. I am not disappointed I tell you. I don’t have the Sennheiser 906 to compare with but I do have the $99 e609. I did A/B and I actually like this one better due to high pass and low pass.

I wanted to have a backup for my $200 Sennheiser e906. I gig a lot, I bring my own microphones, and I don't want to be carry around an expensive (for my budget) microphone. I saw the price of the Behringer b906, and I figured I would just return it if it was cheaply made or if it sounded bad.I used it this weekend and I was pleasantly surprised. It's built very sold: cast metal body and metal grill. It sounded great on my guitar amp - two gigs, no issues.Just to do some comparison, I set up my amp in my studio, and recorded some tracks using both my e906 and the b906, and I A/B'd them using both an RTA and my ears. I kept the both mics 'flat' (did not use the switch to boost or cut anything). I was surprised at the results. Looking at the graphs from the RTA, there are some minor differences, but nothing really glaring (no odd peaks or valleys on the graph). And, just simply using my ears, I noticed that the b906 was a little 'darker' and had slightly more gain (volume not distortion) than the e906.Conclusion, I will definitely keep this mic, and will definitely use it in any live situation that I would ordinarily use the e906. I'll keep that one safe at home. The real proof will be how long it holds up in an on-the-road gigging situation. Only time will tell, but I will be putting it to the test.

I am recording at home. I decided to go the live amp route rather than plugins, and have been working through that the last few weeks.I have a very nice Audio Technica AT4040 compressor microphone that I use for almost everything, and it’s amazing, but it just does NOT work for my amp. I couldn’t for the life of me get a “true to tone” amp sound out of it.I also tried a Sure SM58 with the grill taken off (which is effectively an SM57), and same thing, this time with it being too muddy and mid rang-ey.So, I set out to buy a dedicated amp microphone. 2 actually, because I’m recording in stereo.I eyed the Seinnheiser, but then saw these. I could get 2 for the price of one essentially and it seemed to have good reviews so I gave it a shot.I am NOT disappointed. In fact I’m insanely impressed. These were it! They are exactly what I needed. They are sensitive but not negatively (too much) so, and they sound incredibly natural. They resolved nearly all of the remaining sound issues I had while recording.I can not recommend them enough. These could easily be sold for $100 if not $150, and they are an absolute steal at just under $50.Trust the reviews. You will be very happy with this mic.

Perfectly useful and functional, esp in a live setting. The eq/countour switch is effective, though i feel a high cut would be more useful than the boost. I havent compared it to the thing it sorta copies, but I can say it does the thing---- probably better choices in the studio, but that's pretty subjective anyway. No self noise of weirdness that I have noticed.Oh, they give you a decent plastic case and a clip, too. Really, get kind of a lot for $45. The plastic body is really the only turn off, and why I gave 4 stars.... It does seem like it will hold up pretty well, but it ain't a 57 🤪.

This mic picks up signals much like a condenser mic. It does benefit from a preamp, and overall I am pleased with this mic. Buy Shure if you can, I couldn't; however this mic deliveres satisfactorily!
