Rated 5 out of 5

Pleasantly shocked with the quality

I'm pleasantly shocked with the quality of this inexpensive set of mics. Not only do they sound solid and clear but they also include niceties like a bass roll-off switch and pad so that you can get closer to your source without overloading or having too much proximity effect. Sound wise, they compare favorably well to other inexpensive Chinese manufactured mics without being tuned overly bright. They also have a smaller/shorter body and come with a stereo bar. For the price everyone should have a pair of these to use as "beaters" and leave your Neumann's at home.

Exactly what I needed

On a budget, I don't think you can do much better than this little microphone pair. I needed a small condenser pair of microphones to record a choir of 10-12 people in my home studio so I bought this. But it also is working out really well to record acoustic guitar, I set it up in an XY type of mic placement using the included bar and mic holders and it sounds great, seems to have very low self noise/hiss and works much better than the large condenser mic I was using.

Behringer C-2 2 Matched Studio Condenser Microphones.

C-2 microphones are built to capture the performance of a choir, piano or any other vocal or acoustic sound source to provide a beautiful true-to-life sound. Sold in perfectly matched pairs, these outstanding C-2 mics are ideal for acoustic guitars and overhead drum studio and live sound applications.

Sound That Astounds.

Once connected to your sound system, you’ll notice these twin pro-caliber microphones have exceptionally-flat frequency response (an average boost of 4 dB between 1 kHz- 8 kHz). For those of you new to condenser mics, this basically means you’ll get a slightly brighter sound, that will give the perfect shape to cymbals and overhead miking. Acoustic pianos and choirs will also benefit greatly from this frequency response. The cardioid pickup pattern provides unparalleled sound source separation and feedback rejection. C-2 mics contain ultra low-noise transformerless FET input circuitry that can handle extreme dynamics (from 20 Hz to 20 kHz) and have a maximum sound pressure level of 150 dB. C-2 mics also feature a switchable low-frequency rolloff to eliminate infrasonics (mic handling and wind noise), as well as a switchable 10 dB input attenuation to accommodate for hot signals, such as a really loud vocalist – or overzealous cellist.
