Studio Projects B1 Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone – Great Condition

Selling my Studio Projects B1 condenser mic. I originally owned a matched pair, but only need one now.

Excellent mic. In fact, a bit too good... I'm mainly selling it as switched to small diaphragm condensers for my drum overheads as the B1 picked up too much room detail when playing live!

Can be matched with other B1s if they have the same colour dot on the box (dark green on this one).

In good condition. Cosmetically there are a few marks, but the sound is pristine. It's only been lightly used, and stored boxed in a dry cupboard for most of its life. Purchased new approx 15 years ago.

Includes:

• Microphone
• Original shockmount
• Spare bungees for shockmount
• Foam windscreen
• OG box

Great review here (please note this is an earlier model, which is the same minus the pad)...

A bit of a hidden gem in the budget condenser world — the B1 has a reputation for punching well above its price point. It’s a fixed-cardioid, large diaphragm mic that’s been a go-to in home and project studios for vocals, acoustic instruments, and general recording duties.

It has an “open, uncoloured sound” with a subtle presence lift, plus a pleasing density on vocals. They also noted how well it handles acoustic guitar — adding a bit of weight while smoothing harsh edges without losing detail. Overall, they concluded it performs far beyond what you’d expect at this price point, and is perfectly capable as a main mic in a home studio setup.

Why it’s good:

• Clear, open sound with a smooth top end (no harshness)
• Nice bit of low-mid “weight” that flatters vocals
• Works especially well on acoustic guitar and spoken word
• HPF and pad switches
• Low noise
