Behringer C-3

Awesome microphone

The sound I record with this mic is very clear.

the figure 8 button is very useful for recording when my girlfriend and I sing together.

high quality for a very competitive price

This Behringer C-3 Microphone is superb value

I use the Berringer C3 to record acoustic guitar and vocals at the same time in Cakewalk Daw. The quality of sound is fantastic the price is fantastic, it is as good as all the others.

Very good within the price point but not optimal

I'm always cutting 1 khz and sibilance frequencies (3-7khz) with my voice.

These last days I've been using it in figure 8 pattern to increase the body of my voice, as you know different polar patterns exhibit different frequency responses.

The self noise is the big nope for me. If you want studio quality you gonna spend a lot of time with noise reduction plugins.

I'm going to upgrade to the Rode NT1, good bye self noise and harsh frequencies.

Does the job for the price

Nice microphone to have in a home studio

Good microphone for beginners

I bought this microphone for recording audio comments to videos along with a Steinberg UR22C audio card.

There is a little lack of gain if you write the sound not close to the microphone, but with a lot of gain, a lot of noise appears. Maybe it's because of a bad cable, but I'm not sure.

The packaging and workmanship are sufficient to get you started.

I don't use the extra features much (which is why I probably should have bought the C-1), but if you need them, this mic is good.

Advantages:

- Workmanship

- Kit

- Additional functions

- Looks good

- Low price

Disadvantages:

- I hear a lot of noise on my audio card and with my cable at high gain. At low gain it sounds too quiet.

Applicability (in my opinion):

Suitable for beginners and as a backup if the main microphone suddenly breaks.

Noisy but the price saves it

I use it for general voiceovers and some basic recordings.

As many other reviews suggest it's noisy but at this price having a multipattern microphone is just great.

Better for instrument recordings or to complement some other better mics.

Great recording capabilities

Great mic, reasonable price, durable and sturdy.

Great features for the price point

I use this as a general purpose mic in the studio. this is not a luxury mic, but put through a good preamp it gives a clean uncoloured sound, well suited to most applications. I'm old school, so i remember when mics did a lot less, and cost a lot more. for this kind of money its hard to find any real gripe. think i may get another.

Noisy

Wanted to get a simple multipattern condenser mic for recordings. Got this mic and was disappointed, because it's unfortunately too noisy. I mean, I can record tracks or use it on podcasts, of course, but it is not enough for me.

Excellent Low Cost Condenser

Sometimes You Get More Than What You Pay For!

Sturdy construction, well presented and certainly better than using my live stage / gig microphones for recording.
