This small pencil microphone is great for indoor recording and records a good, natural sound especially suited for voices.
Typical Behringer stuff stock. Inconsistent, and cheap. Once this mic is properly modified, it comes very close to the sound of a Neumann KM84.
This is the only competition I've found for the AKG C451E under a thousand dollars. With it's smooth high end, it's at home with an acoustic guitar or a grand piano.
I'm a filmmaker on a budget and was looking for microphones for a project involving a choral group. After much reading, I narrowed my choices down to the Rode NT-5 stereo pair, the Avatone Pro CK-1, the Golden Age Project FC-4, the MXL 603/604, and the Behringer B-5.
