Hi folks,

I have decided to put my old Behringer B2-PRO to the museum !

So I need to replace it with another studio condenser microphone, and I would like your advise.
Which one would you buy if you were me ? Here is my Top 3 Shortlist :


Rode NT2000

I usually record lead voices, and backings, for all types of "pop" (yeah it's wide), "electro/pop", and some "dance music". Some are sold on Cd's, online, played in clubs, so i'm more "professional" than "home"

Thank you very very much !

Rode has really good customer service. They fixed my K2 tube mic twice when it was out of warranty (free). The new NT2000 is incredibly flat and quiet, so I am told. I haven't tried it, but for the price, I'd buy it sight unseen if I were looking for a new mic.

Hi Trevor,

Thank you for your answer !
As my post has remain unanswered for 10 days, I was forced to make a choice and buy the gear.
And my choice was the Rode NT 2000 ! Great

Receving my order tomorrow, so I hope it will be clear and flat, as another friend (sound engineer) recommended it to me.

Thank you very much Trevor !
