We’ve even included a USB cable and swivel mic stand mount, so just plug it into your computer and start recording! What is a USB Condenser Microphone The primary type of microphone used in recording studios and radio stations, condenser microphones are the ideal choice for capturing vocals and acoustic instruments. Unlike a dynamic microphone, a condenser microphone collects sound from throughout an environment such as a room, rather than only picking up what’s happening directly in front of it. It is capable of capturing much more detail with a wider, flatter frequency response. But conventional condenser microphones aren’t designed to interface with a computer – you also have to provide a microphone preamplifier and an analog-to-USB interface. The C-1U features a built-in USB interface that derives the needed power directly from your computer’s USB input and requires no special drivers. Just plug in and start recording your masterpiece! Sound That Astounds! The incredible C-1U has an exceptionally-fl at frequency response and pristine sonic resolution that ensures content-rich audio that is as natural sounding as the original source. The cardioid pickup pattern provides unparalleled sound source separation and feedback rejection. Thanks to its ultralow noise, transformerless FET input circuitry the C-1U can handle extreme dynamics, all the way up to 136 dB, with ruler-fl at frequency response from 40 Hz to 20 kHz. Which brings us to software... Free Would Be Nice! Because you’ll want to take full advantage of the C-1U’s recording and podcasting potential, we’ve included all the software you’ll need for audio recording, editing and even podcasting – all free of charge and downloadable from behringer.com. You’ll be ready to go live on your PC or Mac right out of the box! We’ve also provided a free download of more than 150 virtual instruments and FX plug-ins – turning your computer into a powerful home-based or mobile recording studio from input to output. But That’s Not All... The C-1U condenser mic is designed to be your go-to USB mic for many years to come. The tough, die-cast metal body can withstand the rigors of all those late-night recording marathons – and since it can be powered directly from your laptop’s USB port, you can take it anywhere, and record when the muse inspires you! An excellent choice for all sorts of recording applications, the studio-grade C-1U is available and will leave enough cash left over to secure other recording essentials. Check out the incredible C-1U at a dealer near you.

Review: Great Mic for the price - I have been using Garageband on a Macbook Pro for just a few weeks now and wanted a mic that was going to give me better results than the on board mic of the macbook. I have tried to record acoustic instruments using the on board mic but results were not great. After looking around I wanted a mic that did not require phantom power as it would just add more expense purchasing a power supply. I opted for the Behringer C-1U as it was powered from the USB which is just very convenient for me. After reading other reviews about the low volume issues I was a little wary, however I have no issues with recording volume as I simply turned the mic input up in my audio settings to 90%. When recording my acoustic guitar from about 1 foot away the results were great and so much better than the on board mic, I tried a few vocals and again so much better than the on board mic. Agreed that there is a little hiss at the high level but nothing that cant be filtered out with software but this still gets 5 stars from me as I have used other mics in this price bracket and none even come close to the recording quality I get from this. *Update* After using this for over a mouth now I still have no issues with recording level. I have some noise as expected but noisegate in Garageband got rid of most of it, Here is a sample of the recording of acoustic guitar and vocals. Noisegate has only been applied to vocal tracks not the acoustic recording. [...]
Review: Solid microphone - Great microphone. Sound quality is very clear. Only thing I recommend is buying a pop filter to go with it to help clear up the sound a bit. I didn't use it for professional use, only for gaming and I got compliments on my mic quality numerous times.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many mic s do you get**
A: You get two. That's what a stereo pair means. A matched stereo pair means that the output signals are of near-identical strenghts, and that their frequency response is is the same. Unless you have 'golden' ears, their output is identical. The output signal is easily strong enough for any use. The quality is very close to the that required by the top recording studios, and is similar to the Shure SM56 or 57.They are robust, and and come in a nice, sturdy case with a mounting bracket and mic holders. The bracket has a socket matching many mic stands. They are shorter and lighter than most microphones. Nothing second-class about this product. You will need two standard XLR leads. Although I have only used them as a backup when other very expensive kit has let me down, they arealmost indiscernable from the very best. A bargain. Especially useful when putting mics on instruments like concertinas, melodeons, accordions or other instruments where the sound comes out from two ends. I image they would be perfect for vocal duets, though I haven't tried that yet.

**Q: does it come with a mic stand**
A: No. You need to get one seperately. The pack comes with a standard 'clip' that will attatch to a stand but no stand itself. With this kind of mic you would be well advised to get hold of a shock mount to replace the clip but be aware that you need to make sure you get one that fits this kind of mic as there are a couple of varieties around.

**Q: How far do i need to be from the subject when recording dialogeue**
A: If you are using the omni capsule, between approx 1.5 inches 7 inches is optimal. Beyond that you'll notice less bass in the signal and you'll be more vulnerable to backgound noise. If you are using the cardioid capsule, then the distance from the mic radically changes the tone you'll get, especially in the bass so you need to experiment and find what works best for what you are doing. But the same range is propbably optimal.

**Q: Is the clip also in the box? Or do I order one separately?**
A: Clips are provided in the box. Your able to do X Y configuration. There are also 2 small pop filters.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Mic for the price

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant Microphone, would recommend to any YouTuber OR Music Artist (Except for professional recordings)
*by F***Y on 12 July 2014*

This is an outstanding microphone. It definitely makes home recording much easier! - Buying this has saved me some money (not loads - but a good enough amount - Roughly £30). I am a drummer looking to do some home YouTube-ing cover videos. This does the job I want it. I wouldn't however recommend buying this for recording professional music as you cannot tweak individual components of your kit (e.g. snare, toms, bass, etc.). This product isn't for you then. I have read about the low pick up. This didn't happen for me. I use a mac (IOS). I plugged the microphone in and turned up the pick up in the system preferences and there was no issue. - I use Garage Band to record my covers. The only reason for the 4 star review is for one, you cannot record all your drum professionally. And the fact that the CD with the extra's provided is useless (Audacity, Juice and PodNova). All of the programs are out dated and you cannot use them as Apple doesn't support them any more. HOWEVER, I would encourage you to use Garage Band as it is a much better program to record music anyways - The monitor feedback tool is very useful! it gives you a good sense of your sound without having to record and move the mic. I hope this review helps. If you want to listen to any of the recording I do or any YouTuber does, simply search for "Behringer C-1U Drums" - This will bring up plenty of examples! REMEMBER: MIC placement is key when using only one mic!
