Does anyone have experience recording trumpet with these mics?

I haven't used the behringer mics, but I have used some other of the chinese-made mics. In particular, I did a little work recently with a Studio Projects C3 (in Cardiod mode), but at the same time, I also ran an Electro-Voice PL-20 (a.k.a. RE-20), which is a dynamic mic. In listening tests, we preferred the PL-20, and that is what is posted here: http://www.csee.umbc.edu/~artola/zeus .

It has been recommended that I should give the C3 another chance, but set it further back in the room (I had it about 18" from the bell) and put the windscreen on it to roll-off the highs. Sounds like good advice, and I will try it next time I record.

What preamp are you planning to run your mic into?

Thanks for the reply Paul
The Behringer Mic2200. I've read very good reviews of both the B1 and B2 but none have tested them on horns.
