Behringer C-1 Studio 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.

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.

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.

I was looking for a condenser mic to use when I am recording home demo's on my macbook. I use Garageband and had borrowed a friends Samson CO1, which is an excellent mic for the money ( they can be found on Amazon for around the £50 mark.) However, I have a friend who bought the Behringer C1 mic and swore by it, so after reading reviews and watching a few demo's on youtube, I thought at £34 there is absolutely nothing to loose. I am so glad I did. There isn't a lot in it. They are both a real bargain at the price, yet of the two I am more impressed with the Behringer ( £15 cheaper too ! - which paid for a decent XLR lead and a pop shield ) I have experimented with the mic and with a wee bit of patience, and tweaking my little Wharfdale mini desk, I am astounded at the results. Some reviewers have moaned about the " noise " .... forgive me, but I fail to understand what they must be doing - this mic is beautifully quiet, wonderfully responsive to the top, mid and bottom range and gives outstanding results ( and I'm a whisperer of a vocalist so I need a fair bit of depth ). I can not recommend this mic highly enough. Behringer are a superb company who make a brilliant range of products. This mic is excellently built. It is very sturdy, aesthetically pleasing ( lovely subtle gold colour ) has an indicator light, which lights up with phantom power and comes in a well made case complete with mic stand adapter. One of the best value buys I have made this year.

ダイナミックマイクのSM58を所持しています。 コンデンサーマイクが欲しくて入門として有名なBEHRINGERのC-1を購入してみました。 結果的に大正解で、音の抜けや音像も良くとても満足しています。 歌を歌ったりはもちろん、ネットの配信にも使い倒してます。 コンデンサーマイクの入門として購入してみては如何でしょうか？

The Behringer C1 is a great mic for the money. Not the greatest microphone ever made but the C1 is a competent lower costing microphone with decent specifications that can be used for pretty good sounding recordings. On voice it does require a decent pop filter and is definitely not a hand held microphone. It should be stand mounted with an isolation clip if possible. Also, WARNING ... This microphone requires a phantom power supply of at least 36 volts to work properly. Many smaller consoles do not supply enough voltage which will produce inferior audio results. 48 volts is what I would recommend for best results.

Está excelente, del color creí que era como el de la imagen, pero va más para el dorado, pero fuera de eso está excelente, se escucha muy bien
