Behringer C-1 4-stars Reviews

Great mic for the price

A great mic for an average price range. It's not jaw-dropping quality but with some production magic it can sound "more expensive".

Simply incomparable

My very first reaction when I got this mic was something like "wow, looks like a professional microphone". In fact, not only looks, but sounds too.

A bit of constructiveness:

— Price. I don't think if there can be any questions. It's affordable to anyone. More expensive mics can cost X times bigger but they probably won't give you more quality.

— Assembly. Frankly, there's some things that could be done better. More frankly, you won't be worried of these things because they don't obstruct you from doing good recordings.

— Sound. I'd like to give it 5 stars, but you'll definitely notice some issues when you record and mix some complex project with many recorded tracks.

Well, this mic is just the legendary one. I recommend it for people who has recently started diving into recording vocals, acoustic guitars, etc. There's no better option for that price.

TOP TOP TOP

I was looking for a good beginner setup to stream, record and just sound professional when gaming and i was not expecting for a 30$ mic to sound so damn good and be of high quality but this mic is amazing for this price.

I already recommended to all my friends and after like 6 months of using this mic daily i didn't expect any issues with it and i also added some plugins for it and it sounds more professional now. Buy and Enjoy guys, this is all i can say about this MIC.

Cheap but good

For home recording I think is one of the best mics under 50 euros. It's also good for discord and for gamers that stream on twitch.

A great budget-focused alternative

This microphone is a great budget-focused alternative to other microphones at this standard of quality.

It's solid metallic housing, great-sounding capsule and otherworldly value for money are absolutely what makes this microphone great.

Cons?

Hard to find any, to be completely honest. I've used this microphone for

just over a year now, and I can't find any microphone that matches the quality at this price point whatsoever.

A great choice for those starting, experienced in the field, or those who are curious about budget options to some fantastic sounding microphones out there on the market that stick pack a punch, albeit at a much easier to handle price-tag.

Good for the price

With a price tag like this, it is hard to miss with a classic like this. It does what you want it to do - nothing more - nothing less. I use it for both instruments and occasional vocal recordings and I have only positives to say about my experience with this microphone.

For 30 eur it's the best micro if u have low budget

If you have low budget u can buy this micro and the best sound card u can and buy better micro in the future.

Experience of C-1 use

I bought this mic for videconference calls, both for buiness and personal conversations. Before that, I tried to use my old Audio-Technica and Senheiser E906 dynamic mics. The first one gave me almost nice sounds, although a little muddy. The second gave me a little bit of "radio" effect without much macking in the low frequencies area.

So, I decided to try a classic design condenser mic. Honestly, I selected C-1 because of limited amount of money.

In general, the mic works fine and suiots my needs - now I have greater freedom of me head movements compared with supercardioid mics. Also, I almost have reached the "TV presenter" sound effect according to my subjective understanding.

As for cons, I could mention only moderate hum sound. May be, It could be a problem for professional recording, but for my purposes it's OK.

Best budget mic

No explanation needed. The best budget condenser microphone. Beginners will enjoy this

not a condenser

It's not a condenser mic, but it's very nice for this price

Best mic at this price point?

The mic is a great starting point for those who need a mic for speaking since it can compete with such a mic as Blue Yeti but is 5 times cheaper.

PROS:

1) Price. On the best microphones under a hundred euros straight from the box. If your speech is confident and loud enough, you won't hear complaints about the sound of your mic from others.

2) The sound is not "plastic". The mic does not create nasty notches in the spectrum and does not screw up frequency response (FR). FR is not flat but still sounds natural and pleasing.

CONS:

1) Noise level. You almost will not be able to hear the noise in a recording if you speak loudly enough, but when you apply a decent amount of compression or boost highs, the noise is pretty noticeable during silent moments, not so much during the speaking.

2) The sound is not as detailed as you would like to have. Even though it captures sound at a decent level, you will not be able to hear the slightest differences in volume or frequency changes as you would by using more expensive hardware.

3) Has small diaphragm

Solid budget gear

Looking for mic for home studio/demo material and this fits the bill. Nice solid construction. A bit lacking on bass but was great for vocals. Great purchase overall for those on a budget.

Good vaule

Good value mics: No bells and whistles but then you are not paying a fortune. I have used for recordings in churches and in my small home studio. They works well as a stereo pair once you get the cross over sorted 90 degrees works well for me. For acoustic Guitar / Ukulele keep at least 40cm away to avoid overload.

Good for the price

Its a good mic, not perfect but for the price does a good job

Great sounding mic for the money

Well built mic with great sound quality for the price.

Has a very flat response and recorded everything perfectly clear. Not particularly good for recording low frequencies.

I used it a lot for vocals but could be used on anything that you want a clear flat sound from.

Good cheap condenser

Good cheap condenser that sounds quite good, looks quite good and build is quiet good and solid.All is good until you look inside and see the cheap circuit board thats smaller than a matchbox and looks like an apprentice Elecricians year 1 project. Still.....sounds ok, looks ok...builds o.........

Cheap and effective

I record a bit at home, I am not a professional but I wanted better sounding vocals than I was getting from my old SM58. Large diaphragm is the way to do that, and having had plenty of decent behringer gear before, i figured I would get this. I was not disappointed. It is robust, and has the big warm sound that you would associate with this type of microphone. I've used it to mic up vocals, acoustic guitars and pianos, and been very happy with the results. Pair it up with a valve pre-amp (such as the behringer mic100 ultragain and you will get everything you ever wanted from a vocal sound.

Nice mic for the price.

I bought this a while back, and got plenty of use from it before giving it to a friend. They're good enough quality to make some decent recordings when starting out, and pretty sturdy. Would recommend this for the money.

Behringer C1 Microphone

I bought the Behringer C1 as I was looking for a condenser microphone for home and demo recording of vocals and acoustic instruments. I was initially worried by the price that the quality would be low. But, on arrival it was immediately apparent that the microphone was of a good build quality. It has a robust metal chasis and metal pop shield. There is also a red LED to show that phantom power is being sent and the mic is opreational.

I have so far used the mic for recording vocals, acoustic guitar, resonator guitar and hand percussion. All have been of a good enough standard for demo recordings to be used on band websites and promotional CD's.

I have used other more expensive mics in studios and there is a sound quality difference if you compare them side by side. But to the untrained ear, the C1 sounds very good. For the money, I would recommend this to anyone on a budget and looking for a reasonable recording mic.

Good value

It's a reasonable quality budget microphone.

I thought it was quite noisy at first but that turned out to be a problem elsewhere. (I think a lot of us beginners have this problem!)
