Review: Short and to the point: Awesome Mic! - EDIT: After 9 months of use, I have to say, this thing amazes me upon every use. I use it for Machinimas, and it is extremely high quality. It never lets me down. A lot of people ask em for voice acting because I have such a great quality. Highly recommend, insanely good price too. :) This mic is amazing! I was using a rock band mic before, and that simply would not do for Machinimas. For walkthroughs it was fine. Literally I just plugged this bad boy in and adjusted the volume on it, and now I'm using it in Skype, TeamSpeak, and of course for Machinimas. Note: I have XP Media Center Edition, and it WORKED, so it better work for anything else. The quality is the best when you get the recording volume to your liking (depending on how close you are to the mic.) For the best quality, turn down the volume and speak right into it. Also, I recommend the 15 dollar pop filter you probably see in the related items. It works WONDERS. Also, I have two fish tanks in my room, which are currently a few inches low on water, and it doesn't pick them up! Also, my computer tower is an older Alienware Area 51. (2009) Go look it up on google images. The fan is not loud, but definitely present. The mic doesn't get sound from that either. It's just great. If you just do youtube videos or make simple hip-hop or quieter music, I would recommend this mic. I'm not sure about instruments, rock vocals, or singing, but it probably at least does well with them. All in all a great mic! Review: Safety Hazard! - The microphone works well. I plugged it in and it worked immediately (XP Pro). The volume is fine, the quality is excellent, the DC bias in nil, etc. The problem is that when it's recording, it shocks me! I noticed that when I touch it in some places, there's tons of noise, like when I touch a plug for a speaker system. Apparently, on mine, the mesh over the microphone is connected to the power or something because it shocked my wife's lip when she got too close, and my finger when I licked it and touched the mesh! I hope this isn't the normal situation for this mic, and that it's just a problem with my particular unit, but I think I'm going to try to return the unit. EDIT I traced the problem to a faulty ground. We just moved into my house and the ground wire from the wall (being shared with the computer, and the usb functions) were not actually grounded. After grounding, everything works perfectly. GROUND YOUR MIC! EDIT You're right, the mic has since proven (got it around May 13, 2011 and now it's June 20, 2012) to be excellent. It has served my needs (home voice (only) recording) very well, and withstood my child going from 2 to 3 years. Thanks for the reminder. ## Features - Professional, large-diaphragm condenser microphone with built-in USB interface, ideal for podcasters and musicians - Plug this amazing USB-mic straight into your computer and turn your PC or Mac computer into a recording system without the need for any other hardware - Directly works with your PC or Mac* computer—ultra-low latency ASIO* driver for PC audio optimization available at behringer.com - Exceptionally flat frequency response and ultra-high sound resolution perfect for voice, acoustic instruments, etc. - Cardioid pickup pattern for outstanding sound source separation and feedback rejection ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001QXCYZY | | Antenna Location | Singing | | Audible Noise | 136 Decibels | | Audio Sensitivity | 136 Decibels | | Best Sellers Rank | #63,964 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #670 in Multipurpose Condenser Microphones | | Brand | Behringer | | Built-In Media | Condenser Microphone | | Color | Silver | | Compatible Devices | Amplifier, Personal Computer, Radio | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Connector Type | USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,166) | | Enclosure Material | Metal | | External Testing Certification | Não aplicável | | Frequency Response | 20 KHz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00190839075956, 04033653080293 | | Hardware Platform | PC | | Item Dimensions | 2.17 x 2.17 x 6.69 inches | | Item Type Name | Microphone Preamp | | Item Weight | 1.2 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Music Tribe US | | Mfr Part Number | C-1U | | Microphone Form Factor | Microphone Only | | Model Name | C-1U | | Model Number | C-1U | | Number of Batteries | 1 Lithium Ion batteries required. | | Number of Channels | 1 | | Polar Pattern | Unidirectional | | Power Source | Usb Microphone | | Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 136 dB | | Special Feature | USB interface | | UPC | 190839075956 888365988542 689076149310 | | Warranty Description | Please refer to http://www.

The USB cable (included) is long so it may be used a bit away from your computer fan noise. And the best part, it makes you sound great. Behringer makes this and it is as good as any of their products. Would and will buy another of these. I was hesitant to buy a USB mic but it works great. Plus the price is very affordable. ## Frequently Bought Together - Behringer C-1U Studio Condenser USB Microphone - BILIONE Multifunctional Desktop Microphone Stand, Adjustable Mic Stand Desk with Pop Filter, Shock Mount, Microphone Clip, 5/8" to 3/8" Metal Screw Adapter - Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen USB Audio Interface for Guitarists, Vocalists, Podcasters or Producers to record and playback studio quality sound --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/1926341-behringer-c-1u](https://www.desertcart.at/products/1926341-behringer-c-1u) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
