Behringer C-2 Stereoset Reviews

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!

Great for the price

Them working and not sounding like garbage for the price is amazing and totally worth a purchase.

Very, Very Good

Great quality, the sound has clear and rounded tone for recording accoustic guitar.

Great value for price

Good result

As a Behringer product, we already know that it isn’t made with the best components… by the way, It doesn’t mean that the product don’t sounds good. When well used is possible to achive excelent results with this microphones. I recomend.

nice mic for acoustic guitar

great mic for the price and do the job

Unbelievable

Using as alternative for KM184 for live productions. Comparable results for 10th of the price…

Great mics for the price

Clear, bright, perfect for drum overheads

Fav mic

One of my favorite microphones, sounds great and huge. Cheaper alternative to alot of very expensive microphones out there but sound is almost identical to them.

Great microphone set for a great price!

I use this microphone set for miking drums (overheads) and the set works great! Microphones are responsive and you can get a clear sound out of them. I didn`t check all the options yet but I hope to do so in the future.

Microphones are sturdy, are made from high quality materials and are really well made overall, especially for this kind of price. I would really recommend this microphone stereoset!

Surprisingly good for speech

I've owned a pair of these for a few years and just bought a second set. I use them for video making, which I've done for more than 40 years.

They have a very pleasant tone to them and I like the way they sound for speech. Small diaphragm mics aren't the best if you want to work close and sound like a DJ. But for just about anything else they're great.

With them about 12-24 inches from the person they work well for interviews, commentaries and other general video use. Being a matched pair, you can even experiment with various stereo techniques.

I find they benefit from a bit of EQ, particularly a reduction in the midtones.

They're an inexpensive way to get started and I think most people will be absolutely delighted with the quality - both audio and build.

Cheap and decent sounding mics

I bought these mics to use as overheads for a drum recording situation. I quickly upgraded to using a stereo xy mic from RODE, but I still use these mics from time to time for additional room mics. I have also recorded

guitar from time to time with these mics with decent results.

If you're looking for a very cheap way to build up your mic collection, this is a decent way to go!
