Behringer C-1 Condenser Microphone

The Behringer C-1 studio condenser microphone is designed to capture your sounds with incredible realism, sensitivity, and accuracy. This condenser mic is an excellent choice for live and studio applications, and it's available at a price that will leave you with enough cash left over to secure other recording essentials.

The C-1 is a cardioid condenser microphone that is ideal for capturing vocals and acoustic instruments. It's the primary type of microphone used in recording studios and radio stations, as it is capable of capturing much more detail than dynamic microphones due to its wider, flatter frequency response. Unlike dynamic mics, condenser mics contain active circuitry that requires phantom power (+48 V DC) for operation, which can be supplied by any phantom power-equipped Behringer Xenyx mixer, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of their state-of-the-art Xenyx mic preamps.

The C-1 is an affordable, high-quality way to add this essential studio tool to your setup. Thanks to its cardioid (heart-shaped) polar pattern, the C-1 microphone picks up your source signal while rejecting off-axis sounds that can ruin an otherwise perfect recording. With its pressure-gradient, shock-mounted transducer and gold-plated XLR output, the C-1 is very neutral-sounding and delivers on the promise of noise-free transmission. Its exceptionally flat frequency response and ultra-high sound resolution make it perfect for capturing acoustic instruments, overhead, piano, and a wide range of other applications.

Built to last, the C-1 is designed to be your go-to condenser mic for years to come. Its tough, die-cast body can withstand the rigors of late-night recording marathons, and it comes with a rugged foam-padded carrying case for safe and stylish transportation. A swivel stand mount is also included, allowing you to easily affix the C-1 to your studio's mic stands.
