STUDIO CONDENSER MICROPHONE B-2
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Detailed safety precautions:
Please read all safety precautions and operating instructions before you attempt to operate the unit.
Keep all safety precautions and operating instructions for future reference.
Water and moisture:
Condenser microphones are extremely moisture-sensitive. Never use your microphone in close
proximity to water (e.g. bath-tubs, wash-basins, sinks, washing machines, pools, etc.). When doing
voice recordings, always use the enclosed popscreen to safely protect the capsule from moisture.
Power supply:
Always use the power supply specified in the operating instructions.
Damage:
Take care not to drop your microphone as this can lead to severe damage. BEHRINGER assumes
no liability for any damage caused by the user.
Maintenance and care:
When the microphone is not in use, please take it out from its elastic suspension, clean it with a soft
cloth, and then place it in its case. Place the bag containing moisture-absorbing crystals close to the
microphone head.
Caution:
Never dismount the screen holding the capsule, as this can damage the microphone! Never try to
modify the printed circuit board inside your B-2! This can lead to microphone damage that cannot be
repaired. Any such attempt will void the warranty.
2. POWER SUPPLY
Your condenser mic B-2 needs a +48-V phantom power supply. Behringer assumes no liability for
any damage caused by a defective phantom power supply. Always mute the sound reinforcement
system before you switch on the phantom power supply. After power-up, the B-2 needs about 6
seconds to stabilize.
3. DIRECTIVITY, LOW-CUT FILTER AND LEVEL
ATTENUATION
With the switch on the front, you can set your B-2 to provide an omnidirectional or cardioid directivity
pattern. If the microphone is used to pick up both the signal source and ambient signals, we
recommend to use an omnidirectional directivity (switch position: left). However, to pick up specific
instruments or voices, please set the switch to the cardioid position (right).
