Behringer B1, cheap but good? Options

[visualmusic]

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!

I don't think it has anything to do with the preamp's power, more the M-Box's 48 kHz ceiling sampling rate which is half as much as the industry standard of 96 kHz. It's just a question of how pro you want to get. While you could use $2,000 Blue condenser mic on a M-Box, much of it's sensitivity would be wasted on the $450 USB digital interface... my thought is, it can't hurt to get the bet mic I can afford, because one day I might upgrade my USB interface to a 16 track Firewire 800 super jammy board with 96khz and I can still use my high quality mic.

NT-1 it is!

...unless somebody out there can recommend anything else?
