Behringer C-2 Stereoset

Great Stereo Bundle On A Budget

For the price you pay, you're getting 2 microphones and clips for them, a stereo bar, a hard case and 2 pop filters. In my opinion, this is a great deal for those on a budget who wish to get into professional audio recording.

Great Mic for Live and Recording

Used for Recording - Accurate reproductions of Nature sounds in mono and stereo. Used for Live - Great overheads for drums. Great reproduction of Dercussions, Djemebe, Tabla and dhol

Best Budget SDCs

I've had these mics for a couple of months and so far have used them for recording acoustic guitar, a choir, and drum overheads. I'll break down how I feel about the sound for each one. Acoustic Guitar: A touch more harsh in the high end and a bit brighter than I'd like, but overall a really good sound, which also works when doing stereo via X/Y or ORTF. Choir: They captured a lot less of the room sound than I initially expected, but adding that reverb back in post made them sound absolutely perfect with only minimal EQ tweaks (meaning a little boost in the low-mids and removing some room resonances). Overheads: Gorgeous sound! They sound very natural and capture almost exactly what's in the room, although harsher in the high end than optimal. That said, they take EQ extremely well and all the harshness can be removed with a couple of bands - the sizzle that remains is beautiful and it fits in the mix perfectly! In regards to the overall build, the mics themselves feel really solid, especially for the price point. The case is plastic and not the best feeling, and the foam cut-outs are a bit small and you need to squeeze hard to fit stuff in, but it's not the worst to deal with. The included stereo bar is frankly the weakest part of it and I bought a K&M one immediately - it's made of plastic and doesn't hold itself tight that well; the K&M is metal and much more solid while only costing 10€ more. Considering the price point, I would definitely recommend these for anyone looking to get their first pair of SDCs!

I use them on cymbals, they really sound amazing.

A bit noisy

There is a difference between the noise floor on this and on more expensive mics. For the price it's great but I did sell it eventually.

Great Mic with best price.

Used for basic setups in church setups and it works great. Also used in weddings for instruments such as clarinet, saxsaphone, cello, violin etc... never had any issues.

I record vocals and drums

I’ve been using these mics for about two years. I’ve mostly recorded vocals. They do quite well with vocals. I can tweak the EQ in GarageBand. I run the mics through a behringer umc202hd. It sounds pretty good. Lately I’ve been recording drums using the two mics in an x-y method. They record the drums pretty good! It sounds cool! I’ve recorded the drums of 14 songs and I am very pleased with the quality of the sound from the two mics. It’s a lot of bang for your buck. Two microphones for a low price that are very functional… yea please. I haven’t tried to mic my guitar an amp, but I am quite sure it would be very good, based on its vocal drum recording abilities. I recommend these for sure.

Can't go wrong for the price

I use them for hihat and ride cymbals mainly. Very crispy very nice. A liitle too brigth for overheads but not bad for that use either

super cheap doesn't rubbish

I brought these mics years ago, reviewing them now to say that I still have them, they are still working strong 4/5 years on. My first pair of drum overheads where their original use I had but they've also been used on acoustic guitar, snare mic and even as a kick drum outside sub style mic at points.trust me they can go ALLOT. great for your first stereo mic pair! and soooo cheap. get them and get creative!

Impressive sound for the price!

This mics are for begginers only? I don't think so! I have used them on my acoustic guitar and it sounds pretty good for me. I already used more expensive mics and this one didn't let me down! Specially when you consider that the guitar is part of the mix and not the most important element in the recording, you'll realize that these can be great for the buck! A good investment!
