Engineered to capture sound with exceptional realism, sensitivity, and accuracy, this condenser microphone is perfect for a variety of recording scenarios. Its outstanding cardioid pickup pattern ensures excellent sound source separation and feedback rejection, making it an ideal choice for both studio and live environments.
The C-1 microphone stands out with its ultra-low noise performance, ensuring that your recordings are clear and free from unwanted background noise. Its rugged construction means it can withstand the demands of frequent use, making it a reliable addition to any studio setup. Included with the microphone is a convenient swivel stand mount, housed in a sleek transport case, ensuring that your C-1 is always ready for action.
Condenser microphones like the C-1 are the preferred choice for capturing vocals and acoustic instruments due to their wider and flatter frequency response compared to dynamic microphones. This allows for capturing more detail and nuance in your recordings. The C-1 requires phantom power (+48 V) to operate, which can be supplied by any phantom power-equipped Behringer XENYX mixer. This setup allows you to take full advantage of Behringer's state-of-the-art XENYX mic preamps, ensuring superior sound quality.
The C-1 microphone is equipped with a pressure gradient transducer and a shock-mounted large diaphragm capsule, delivering an open and transparent sound with excellent transient response. Its superb cardioid pickup pattern focuses on capturing your source signal while effectively rejecting off-axis sounds that could compromise your recording. Additionally, the C-1 features an LED indicator that confirms when the microphone is receiving phantom power, eliminating any guesswork.
Built to last, the C-1 boasts a tough, die-cast metal body that can endure the rigors of long recording sessions. The included carrying case ensures safe and stylish transport, making the C-1 a versatile and durable choice for any recording artist. Whether you're laying down tracks in the studio or capturing live performances, the C-1 Cardioid Studio Condenser Microphone delivers noise-free transmission and utmost transparency, making it an essential tool for achieving professional-grade recordings.
