A Workhorse Condenser Mic at a Great Value

The Worker Bee II from Neat Microphones is an ideal solution for those recording applications that call for the low noise and high sensitivity of a condenser mic. With Class A circuitry, the Worker Bee II refrains from adding noise to your tracks. And it doesn't get much more versatile than a medium-diaphragm mic designed for transparency. What you hear from the source is what the Worker Bee II captures, making it ideal for everything from vocals and drums to more complex acoustic instruments such as woodwinds and strings. Given its capabilities, the Worker Bee II from Neat Microphones is sure to be your new go-to medium-diaphragm condenser mic.

Discrete Class A circuitry provides balanced sound for any source

By using discrete Class A circuitry, the Worker Bee II provides you with the high-output and wide frequency response that give you an accurate and detailed recording. A detailed midrange comes in handy to really pop the vocals out in a mix, and reveal the complexity of brass and higher-pitched stringed instruments. A velvety-dense low end and crystal-clear presence capture the fullness of sound from acoustic guitars and gives you the definition you need from percussion instruments. You can even use two Worker Bee II mics as your go-to stereo pair for drum overheads, pianos, and more.

Diaphragm designed for transparency and detail

Sweetwater's recordists know that a medium-diaphragm condenser mic is a studio necessity. The Worker Bee II's precision-engineered diaphragm is designed to give you accurate, detailed response no matter what source you're recording with it. And thanks to its internally-shockmounted design, you'll enjoy pristine clarity and broad frequency response without unwanted low-end rumble.

Neat Microphones Worker Bee II Medium-diaphragm Condenser Microphone Features:

  • Medium diaphragm and Class A electronics deliver a full, clear response
  • Internal shockmount prevents transfer of low-end frequencies into your recordings
  • Cardioid polar pattern helps reject off-axis sounds
  • Ideal for vocals, percussion, and acoustic string instruments
  • Requires +48V phantom power

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!
