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 excellent transducer and gold-plated XLR output, the C-1 is very neutral sounding and truly delivers on the promise of But That's Not All. 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. Value 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-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.) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by G***H on May 16, 2010* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by T***C on April 16, 2017* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by S***L on July 10, 2009* ## Frequently Bought Together - Behringer C-1 Medium-diaphragm Condenser Microphone - Amazon Basics XLR Male to Female Microphone Cable for Speaker or PA System, All Copper Conductors, 6MM PVC Jacket, 6 Foot, Black - Behringer U-Phoria UM2 USB Audio Interface --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/1208091-c-1-studio-condenser-microphone](https://www.desertcart.at/products/1208091-c-1-studio-condenser-microphone) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
