What is a Condenser Mic?
Condenser microphones are the ideal choice 
for capturing vocals and acoustic instruments. 
They are the primary type of microphone used 
in recording studios and radio stations. The B-5 
mic is capable of capturing much more detail 
than most dynamic microphones because 
of its wider and fl atter frequency response. 
Another diff erence between condenser and 
dynamic mics is they contain active circuitry 
that requires phantom power (+48 V) for 
operation. You can power your B-5 using any 
phantom power equipped
