## Description

From the manufacturer C-1 Studio Condenser Microphone Professional, large-diaphragm condenser microphone for unsurpassed audio quality Ideal as main and support microphone for studio and live applications Cardioid pickup pattern for outstanding sound source separation and feedback rejection Pressure-gradient transducer with shock-mounted capsule Ultra-low noise, transformerless FET input eliminates low-frequency distortion LED indicates phantom power operation Swivel stand mount and transport case included Ultra-rugged construction with metal die-cast body Gold-plated 3-pin XLR output connector for highest signal integrity The C-1 microphone is a home recording enthusiast’s dream come true! This professional-quality condenser microphone is designed to capture your sounds with incredible realism, sensitivity and accuracy. With the C-1’s outstanding cardioid pickup pattern for excellent sound source separation and feedback rejection, these ultra-low noise mics are an excellent choice for any recording scenario – and rugged enough to go the distance! With a handy swivel stand mount included in the sleek transport case, the C-1 just may be the only microphone your studio will need. What is a Condenser Mic? Condenser microphones are the ideal choice for capturing vocals and acoustic instruments. They’re the primary type of microphone used in recording studios and radio stations. C-1 mics are capable of capturing much more detail than most dynamic microphones because of their wider, flatter frequency response. Another difference between condenser and dynamic mics is they contain active circuitry that requires phantom power (+48 V) for operation. You can power your C-1 using any phantom power equipped Behringer XENYX mixer, plus enjoy the benefits of our state-of-the-art XENYX mic preamps. Why the C-1? C-1 microphone is an affordable, high-quality way to get what you really hear down on tape (or in bits). Thanks to the pressure gradient transducer and shock-mounted large diaphragm capsule, the C-1 delivers an open, transparent sound with excellent transient response. Featuring a superb cardioid (heart-shaped) pickup pattern, the C-1 picks up your source signal, while rejecting off-axis sounds that can ruin an otherwise perfect recording. The C-1 truly delivers on the promise of noise-free transmission, with the utmost transparency – and features an LED that shows you when the mic is receiving phantom power, taking the guesswork out of the equation. But That’s Not All… The C-1 microphone is designed to be your go-to condenser mics for many years to come. The tough, die-cast metal body can withstand all the rigors of those late-night recording marathons – and the included carrying case ensures they always travel in safety and style. The studio-grade C-1 condenser microphone is an excellent choice for both live and studio applications. Check out the incredible C-1 at a dealer near you.

Review: Top Notch Condenser Microphone - This is a superb condenser microphone at a great price. It's solidly built and looks quality. Sound recording quality is top notch and it's inspiring to use with voice or for recording instruments. The set up I use with this mic for recording to PC or my Tascam Portastudio is Behringer C-1 microphone to Behringer phantom power supply PS400 [48v], on to a Behringer mixer the Xenyx 302 USB then to PC or portastudio. That's great for recording direct in to Audacity or Garageband or whatever software you choose. Just make sure you balance your mixer settings carefully to the C-1 and you'll make good quality recordings. I think a lot of people use this microphone for podcasting. If you have a mixer that provides 48v phantom power then no need for the PS400. The C-1 comes in a good quality black plastic case that provides excellent protection if needed... that was a surprise on receipt and I liked that a lot. There is a low level red light on the front to indicate that phantom power is being received... the C-1 is uni-directional receiving sound directly in to its front. The C-1 is a class condenser and I think where reviewers talk about hiss it is almost certain that they are not setting their mixer up correctly. There are examples on YouTube showing you how to do this properly to get the best results from your C-1 or any microphone. A terrific versatile condenser microphone for your home studio.
Review: Superb value microphone - This seems to have the reputation of being the Ford Fiesta of the 48 volt phantom-powered Condenser Microphone world - the "entry-level" model. I wasn't sure, but ordered one anyway - along with a Behringer MIC200 pre-amp and an XLR cable as part of a package deal that cost just over £80 once VAT sales tax was added. I was expecting something slightly flawed and mediocre - but not so. I'm so pleased that I bought this microphone. I was seriously astonished that I got so much quality for such a low price. It's actually quite large - far bigger than I'd expected from the photo's. Also the build quality seems very solid and it really is quite heavy. I'll have to get a stronger microphone-stand to take the weight. The sound quality is amazingly good. I've been using it for spoken-word recordings - and there's now a professional edge that wasn't there previously.... one that I thought I could only get by booking a recording studio. NOTE..... if you're going to use the above set-up to record on to the stereo input of a Mac or PC or minidisc walkman you'll need to get the correct Female XLR to stereo mini-jack cable as an extra. Apparently there's "balanced" and "unbalanced" cables - and I haven't got a clue which is the proper one. I got mine here .... http://www.micbooster.com/products/felleadsandadapt.html Hope that helps.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What's the difference between this and the C-3?**
A: The C-1 is a directional microphone, best used for vocals (singing, rapping) because it only picks up in one direction and ignores pretty much everything else. The C-3 is a Dual-Diaphragm Condenser mic, so it has 3 settings, it can pick up sound all around it, front back and then it has a similar setting to be used as a directional mic.Basically it gives you a few more options, but the C-1 is pretty good if you only want a directional mic.

**Q: Does this microphone plug into a xlr cable?**
A: Yes. The only way to connect it is XLR. Requires phantom power.

**Q: does it come with the mic cable?**
A: yes, the standard 1/8 mic jack

**Q: I just got my Behringer C1 in the mail yesterday. I can't get it to work. I hooked it up to my Steinberg UR22 Audio Interface using a microphone cable that has an XLR/0.25 in. jack connection. The UR22 has +48 V phantom power. When I turn on the phantom power the red light that is supposed to light up doesn't light up.…**
A: Take a look at the Behringer Xenyx 302 interface/mixer.  If you look it up on the Behringer site and scroll down a bit, you'll see that the company pairs that interface with this particular microphone.  You might consider purchase of the interface ($50) or make sure that the specs for the interface are part of the configuration you're currently using with this condenser mic.  (If you purchase the interface from Amazon, you can return it (within 30 days) if it doesn't deliver the expected results.)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good sound quality for an entry level mic
*by B***N on 13 November 2018*

This was the first microphone I used when I started my podcast. It's a great mic for the money, comes with a nice hard carry case and accessories, which is a great bonus. It eventually developed an earth issue, but I still use it from time to time. Being a condenser, you should be aware that at high gain levels, it will pick up the sound of *everything* including cars driving by in the street outside, or a neighbours dog barking, white noise etc. but correct mic technique and usage will solve a lot of this. Turn the gain right down and bring the mic close to your mouth and this will give you a sound quality that sounds way above its price point, especially with a little bit of EQing in post-production. I ran my podcast using this as the main mic for almost one year and it was fantastic, way above most "beginner" podcasts quality. The build quality is likewise very good, it's heavy and feels sturdy in the hand. One thing of note is that it's quite fat, so if you're looking to fit it into a shock mount or similar, make sure the mount will be wide enough for the mic. I squeezed mine into a mount, but it was very tight. Overall, good quality and I would recommend to someone starting in recording voice who doesn't want to stump down on a much more expensive mic, but still wants a decent level of quality.
