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. They are capable of capturing much more detail than dynamic microphones because of their wider, flatter frequency response. Another difference between condenser and dynamic mics is that they contain active circuitry that requires phantom power (+48 V DC) for operation. You can power them from any phantom power equipped BEHRINGER XENYX mixer, plus enjoy the benefits of our state-of-the-art XENYX mic preamps.

Why the C-1?
The C-1 is an affordable, high-quality way to put this essential studio tool to work for you. Thanks to its cardioid (heart-shaped) 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 truly delivers on the promise of noise-free transmission.

With its exceptionally flat frequency response and ultra-high sound resolution, it's perfect for perfect for acoustic instruments, overhead, piano, and plenty more.

Built to Last
The C-1 is built to be your go-to condenser mic for years to come. Its tough, die-cast body can withstand all the rigors of bleary-eyed late-night recording marathons. And with its rugged foam-padded carrying case, it travels in safety and style. We also included a swivel stand mount so it can be affixed to your studio's mic stands.

Summary: "Outstanding microphone for your money"

I own three of these and use them in all sorts of "sound" environments.
A colleague even used one in the recording of his most recent album.
These mics get used in a live sound reinforcement situation quite regularly and perform very well. They require 48 volt phantom power which my Mackie console provides. Do some minor EQ'ing in the mids and you are off and running.
We provide sound reinforcement for numerous small venues in our area and these microphones do well.

Summary: "Somewhat misleading?"

I suppose that being somewhat misled is my own fault. Above, in the product description, it says "USB" Condenser Microphone. I merely assumed that it came with a USB cord with which to connect to my computer. It doesn't. Now, I don't know whether this is the sort of microphone that can be connected to my computer if a bought a USB cord for it, since I know very little about this sort of thing. So, I turned to the user's manual for assistance, but it was of no help to me whatsoever, because it's in nine languages, NONE of them English. Seriously? Perhaps I was sent the wrong manual, but in a little booklet including nine languages, you didn't think to include the third most commonly spoken language in the world? Not cool.

Anyway, can someone help me out with my USB predicament? Oh, and if anyone wants to help me as I slowly build my studio, please point me in the right direction! I intend to use my Macbook, which I purchased in 2008, though I have been thinking about upgrading the iLife software (w/ Garageband) to the 2009 edition. Unless I should purchase ProTools? I've heard that's a great piece of software. I have a Clavinova--I just need to find the right cord to plug into my computer... Or into a mixer? I merely thought I could plug directly into my computer with my piano and my microphone--shows how much I know about this, eh?

P.S. I'm on a very small budget, so if you choose to give me advice, bear that in mind. I'm looking for good deals! Thanks!

Summary: "Incredible value, incredible sound"

OK so I was VERY skeptical when I first learned of the C-1 and saw its price. Most condenser mics are in the hundreds to thousands of dollars range. With a MSRP of just $60, the C-1 is in the same price category as an average dynamic mic. Based on its price alone, one would expect this mic to be noisy and cheap sounding. However one would be VERY wrong.

Simply put, this mic is superb in every way. Its got a rich, warm sound and is VERY quiet. As other posters have said, "it can pick up a flys fart in midair" and thats pretty accurate! In fact it's only drawback is that it might be TOO sensitive for people new to audio recording. You're going to want to use this in a very quiet environment or your going to have to live with it picking up EVERYTHING - the fan on your computer, cars and people passing outside, birds singing in the trees, your nighbors lawn mower a block a way, the fridge in the other room when the compressor kicks on, etc... I'm not kidding about this - it picks up more sounds than you're probably aware are around you.

Another point to consider... this is a condenser mic and as such requires 48 volt "phantom power" which must be supplied by your mixing console or preamp. This mic * WILL * NOT * WORK * without phantom power, and not all mixing desks or preamps can supply it, so check first. If you don't have a phantom power source and just want to use it straight into your computer for recording or podcasting, then consider its sister mic, the Behringer C-1U which is an identical mic, but features a USB interface which supplies it with the required phantom power, AND eliminates the need for an external audio interface - you plug it into your computers USB port and you're all set to record or podcast.

So all things considered, this microphone is a phenomenal bargain on the scale of "you SURE that price isn't missing a zero??" Honestly - this mic SHOULD be selling for $300 or more. For amateur to professional work, you simply CANNOT go wrong with the C-1 and you will NEVER touch its quality in this price range.

Summary: "Great value!"

I've been using this mic for 2 years now, and there is very little I can say to fault it. It does have a bit of a top end boost, which doesn't suit my voice for singing, but my acoustic guitar sounds great when recorded with the C-1. The hardest part is getting the room quiet...this thing picks up everything! I also do a podcast, and this mic suits my voice perfectly for spoken word stuff. Up close it really gets that "radio" proximity effect.

The stock mount wasn't that hot and was causing the mic to rumble every time I moved, so I bought a shockmount and foam windscreen. Now it's perfect and I wouldn't change a thing. If I paid $300 for a mic that performed this well I wouldn't be disappointed. When I got mine it was $60. Now they're even cheaper! Shockingly good value.

Summary: "Great mic for your money!"

I have been using my Behringer C1 for about one year now. I normally use it in my small recording studio. I plug it to my Behringer console and it works great (no hissing). After I began recording with the C1 one I could never go back to record with my other mics. The sound is great, high and low pitch sounds are captured perfectly. It is also interesting that although the mic is capable of registering sounds you could never register with regular (non studio mics) the way it captures sound is sufficiently uni-directional to allow flawless recording in a low-insulated studio like mine. It was an initial concern for me to record in my studio with a condenser microphone, cause I thought that in the same way it would capture any slight variation of my voice, in the same way it would record undesirable environmental sounds, but that was not the case. Now I've been able to record like a pro.
