AudioProz - Welcome to him.That dude had me on the phone for over an hour talking about the mic and monitors and all kinds of shit, I liked him as soonas he told me to forget all the BS you read on sites like GS.and went into detail about why some things are very good that most of the snobs here on GS say suck.It was a long time ago but if you want to know if what you have is realy a POS and cant tell on you own. If you'd like to visit his website he talks about all the mods and good deals on more recent microphones that are well worth it. at the low-ball Behringer pricepoint, the B2-Pro is definately a very nice LDC that would benefit greatly from a few mod upgrades. to my knowledge, the B2-Pro is still built by 797audio (if you look on the circuit board you may still see the "797audio" logo etched on the surface).797audio built many of the better quality Chinese mics for MXL, ADK, Studio Projects and others at the time and continues to manufacture for many of these companies.they now also manufacture some of the highly regarded Neve 1073-clone mic preamps as well. Behringer contracted the original B2 (cardioid only) from 797audio using those same bodies and capsules (797audio is one of the better capsule manufacturers in ained by German engineers) using a stock circuit copied from a vintage German design.the B2 was well recieved and the B2-Pro was later added as a multi-pattern version. when Rode moved the manufacturing of their original NT2 (highly regarded at the time) from China to Australia, their Chinese manufacturer, 797audio, was left with inventory of body shells and capsules. I value his opinion greatly as he isn't afraid to recommend names that aren't common with good gear (Behringer, Samson, CAD, etc.) and really just backs the products that he personally likes. He basis his opinions on all the parts used in the mic as well as sound tests vs. If anyone is interested Vince is a real knowledgeable guy who inspects all the newer, cheaper microphones that come out. he has been saying for a while that the B-2 Pro is a HUGE value for the price and does a few mods to them. There is possibility that that was Vince from Pro Audio in Watertown. The b2 PRO kicks ass, I talked to a guy that does mods a LONG time ago on the phone and he was telling me that the B2 pro is up there with way more high end mics.I use mine all the time and I dont have to.I love it on a MS set up in FIG.
