For the price, this thing can't be beaten! It comes complete with shock-mount, pop filter and protective flight case for as low as $169 (Just check out the price of the Heil PR-40 mount!!!) Frequency response is an impressive 20Hz to 20kHz with a virtually linear response save for a small 'presence' peak at about 12kHz meaning little or no high frequency EQing (which generally deteriorates the signal & raises the noise floor at this level)This was verified on my 8 band EQ (W2IHY) which is another excellent product. OK, so it's not a Neumann or a Rode but you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference except for the price!!! It's also a handsome looking mic, well constructed, with a reasuringly heavy feel to it (& made to ISO9000 standards too) Make sure you turn down the gain on your pre-amp (I use the excellent Behringer Ultragain Pro MIC2200) and also the gain on your rig too as these condensers are sensitive. Fortunatley, the B-2 has a cardiod pattern and a switchable level attenuator making it a very flexible microphone for any situation.
