Just checking out affordable condenser mics for recording vocals and acoustic guitar. I've heard the Behringer B1 is a good deal, and the Rode NT-1, which is twice as expensive. Anyone used either or both?

BTW, I'm recording through a M-box plugged into a PB Ti G4 1Ghz.

Thanks for the help!

Gold plating is interesting because Gold don't oxydize… Oxyds are BAD (noise, radio effect, scraaaaatch). Though, Gold platting tend to wear off easily… sometimes VERY easily.

I think you're better off putting money in a good cable, with good shielding and Neutrik connectors (you'll plug/un-plug them a lot like other cables you may have).

I'm sure some US user can point you to some correct sources.
