Value-packed Condenser Mic from Behringer

A value-laden workhorse, the Behringer SB 78A condenser microphone features a cardioid pickup pattern with excellent off-axis rejection that reduces bleed and feedback. With a switchable low-cut filter to minimize the enhanced bass frequencies that can result from close-miking, plus a super smooth midrange, Sweetwater engineers find the SB 78A makes an awesome spot mic for instruments like acoustic guitars. Its built-in wind/pop filter also makes it more than capable as a vocal mic, with high signal clarity from its 3-pin XLR connector. Finally, the Behringer SB 78A’s shockmount system offers low handling noise, and it comes with a mic stand adapter plus an impact-resistant carrying case.

I feel like I hit the lottery. These condenser mics are under $ and blow away any dynamic I have ever sung thru. Great find. Thanks Devin!

I run several open mics, and it can be a challenge to get enough vocal volume from shy or nervous singers. I tried the SM58, Beta 58A, and the Sennheiser 935, and none of them prevented me from having to crank up the vocal gain while turning the guitar way down for a decent mix for really quiet singers. Not with this microphone. Now I can get a good mix at the same gain I'd use for loud singers using the 58. And...no feedback! Plus, it's not a super tight cardioid pattern, so singers who don't have good mic technique (off-axis singing)can still be heard.

I wish I had discovered this mic 2 yr ago.

Thanks, Devin Cunningham, for these great condenser microphones. $. These mics destroy any dynamic microphone I have ever used for live use. It is uncanny. All day!!!

Unbelievable deal. No more dynamic mics for me ever again. No more singing in a hat with this condenser Mic!! Do not need a monitor because of condenser articulation. NO FEEDBACK.

I'd been trying to get the right vocal sound for recording a blues-rock tune. My expensive condenser sounded too smooth. My broadcast dynamics' sounds didn't sit right in the mix. Several stage dynamics sounded bland.

I thought an end-address stage condenser would be worth trying, as it would likely have decent plosive rejection (so I wouldn't have to mess with pop filters), and enough bite. There are a lot of mics to choose from, but my budget was limited. So I listened to a number of online reviews, and the SB 78a sounded surprisingly balanced and detailed, and the price was perfect. So I bought it. I'm quite pleased! The sound is warm, and articulate, without being excessively bright. This is an excellent microphone! I'm happy with the dynamic mic I use on stage, so the SB 78a is staying in my studio!
