Behringer B 906 Dynamic Microphone for Instrument and Vocal Applications

Ok I'm blown away by the price of this! It's built like a tank and is so sturdy. It sounds pretty good. It's connected into our mixer and picks up my Vox amp. No distortion or any problems with this mic at all. There is 3 switches on the back for different patterns. I haven't played with that feature a ton but only have it set all the way to the right but it picks it up crystal clear. Love this mic a lot and honestly love behringer. The price to quality is insane and as a inspiring artist in a band thank you!

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.

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

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.

For being on a budget, it's perfect. Perfect for small venues, dive bars, music schools/school of rock, etc that want to have house mics but don't have the budget to buy industry standard mics from Shure, Sennheiser, etc.Perfect for guitar players that don't want to bring more expensive mics to bar gigs for fear of getting lost. Also perfect for young musicians, high school band, etc that don't have $100 to spend on a SM57 or who's parents don't want to spend that kind of money for a microphone.In a live situation it's great, sounds good, no complaints. In a recording however, you would definitely hear the difference vs using a SM57 or Sennheiser 906 (the mic this Behringer one is emulating). So if you can use one of those for recording I would. But if this mic is all you have for recording guitars, then it's fine. It won't sound bad.

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!

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.

I've purchased two of these mics and have used them successfully in multiple different ways. At a festival I recently did sound for, I used them to mic small guitar amps and was very pleased with the performance. I only had to add a little EQ to balance out the frequency range. I use one weekly for a cajon and I use a mic stand to hold it in the port of the cajon, but has worked pretty well 'face up' sitting on a sponge 'mount' in the bottom of the cajon. Like others have reported, it isn't that great of a vocal mic. If you want to use it with a 'regular' mic clip, bring some tape. The included mount is ok, but looks like everything else so it is easy to get mixed in. Generally I'm happy. The mic seems to be holding up well to weekly usage and the price was so good that if it gets lost or damaged, I don't fret about it. Well done Behringer.
