    BEHRINGER STUDIO CONDENSER MICROPHONES C-2

    2 Matched Studio Condenser Microphones

    • 2 matched condenser microphones for stereo studio recording and live applications
    • Ideal as main and support microphones for studio and live applications
    • Cardioid pickup pattern for effective feedback elimination
    • Low-mass diaphragm for ultra-wide frequency response and ultimate sound reproduction
    • Switchable low-frequency roll-off and input attenuation
    • Ultra low-noise transformerless FET input eliminates low-frequency distortion
    • Ultra-rugged construction with metal die-cast body
    • Gold-plated 3-pin XLR connector for highest signal integrity

    Our 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 condenser mics are outstanding in both live and studio applications.

    What is a Condenser Microphone?

    A condenser mic is the ideal choice for capturing vocals or acoustic instruments, either in live or recording settings. By their very nature, condenser microphones are much more sensitive than dynamic microphones, enabling them to pick-up even the subtlest of signals. Thanks to their cardioid (heart-shaped) pattern, C-2 microphones pick up your source signal while rejecting off-axis sounds that can ruin an otherwise perfect recording.

    Another difference between condenser and dynamic mics is 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.

    Sound That Astounds

    Every stitch of these mics is designed to deliver beautiful sound. Beginning with the gold-plated 3-pin XLR connector, you get the highest signal integrity.

    Once connected to your system, you'll notice these twin pro-caliber microphones have a 4 dB boost in the 1 kHz - 8 kHz range. 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 also benefit greatly from this type of frequency response.

    Excellent Source Isolation

    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 with a maximum sound pressure level of 136 dB. So even if the featured performer at your next recording session or live show happens to be a revved-up jet engine, this workhorse mic will not distort!

    Our C-2 mics also feature a low-frequency rolloff switch to eliminate infrasonics (mic handling noise, sound created by creaky stages), as well as a switchable -10 dB input pad to accommodate hot signals, such as a really loud vocalist or overzealous cellist.

    Value

    The C-2 mics not only sound great, they come packed with custom stand adapters, windscreens, a stereo bar for mounting both mics in stereo alignment, and a transport case. As soon as you take them out of the box, these mics are ready to become a mind-blowing addition to your sound arsenal. Check them out at a BEHRINGER dealer near you.

    Customers like the sensitivity of the sound and recording equipment. They say the microphones in the set have identical frequency response and sensitivity, crucial for stereo recording. They also say the frequency response is relatively flat with a slight and staggered lift from 2 kHz. Customers also say that the C-2 microphones are reasonably sensitive and offer the prospect of good sound. They mention that they're sensitive enough to pick up every nuance, but not too harsh or brittle.

    Customers are mixed about the phantom power. Some mention that the Presonus 24c interface provides phan tom power, while others say that the microphones require external power.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great sound - Requires "Phantom Power" To Work. UPDATE: SWITCH PROBLEM
    Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2023
    UPDATE: 1 star knocked off for faulty assembly or design that allowed the exterior switch to fall out after three uses. [See photo] This switch changes a much smaller switch on a circuit board inside the mic that you do NOT want to poke with a pen! SUGGESTION: If you find a setting you use all the time, put a bit of tape on the switch. Still a good mic for the money.

    ####

    I am a radio pro, decades in the biz, but a NOT a person who records music. These work great for my interview needs in and out of a studio. I bought a second set to use with multiples guest as my P4 recorder accepts 4 mics.

    Things to know:

    These are "condenser" mics using XLR cables [not included] and MUST be plugged into something providing "phantom power" through the cable. This means a mixer or a decent recorder. You cannot plug these into an iPhone, tablet or small business recorder and use them.

    These mics use the popular "cardioid" pattern perfect for voice and some music. Experiment with holding them nearer or farther away to find the "sweet spot" for your voice.

    There are three settings that essential adjust the sensitivity of the mic. Experiment with each, as the results are quite different.

    Use the foam covers that come with them.

    Do not hand-hold them.

    Mic holders are included but not mic stands.

    Store them in the padded plastic case they come in.

    Get GOOD shielded cables to avoid interference from computers, etc.

    MUCH better than the no-name brands with fancy looking grills and LED lights.
