FFDNot expensive and not bad
Published on 07/01/11 at 02:38Versatile: vocals, wind instruments (flute, etc.)
Condenser mic.
OVERALL OPINION
How long have you been using it?
A couple of years, I think. I do electronic music so I process the recordings quite a bit. In general, though, the sound is quite all right.
Did you try any of other models before buying this one?
Much more expensive mics ($400-$650) at some friends'. I have a Line6 UX2, so I record with POD FARM (noise gate, EQ, preamp etc). It's quite all right
Which feature do you like the most / the least?
I think that, for the price, it's a mic that works rather well.
However, it all depends on the source:
Spoken and sung vocals = very good
Flute, ocarina, harmonica,…Read moreVersatile: vocals, wind instruments (flute, etc.)

However, it all depends on the source:
Spoken and sung vocals = very good
Flute, ocarina, harmonica, didgeridoo, thunder sheet, "exotic" percussions = also very good (but pay attention because it doesn't capture low frequencies very well).
Broadly speaking, it's a good mic for all instruments that don't require a specific mic.
For example, it's not the best mic for acoustic guitar, but that's normal.See less00- jc67
Not bad at all
Published on 06/25/11 at 03:15I use it to record spots (radio, hotlines...), and it's more than enough. The vocals are all right and faithful enough for an entry level model.
OVERALL OPINION
I've used it for two years. I'm not too demanding, only a little. What I like the best is its price, the design is not bad. I'm still looking for negative points, because it's perfect for me. I compared it to an electrovoice RE20 and RE25, and frankly speaking, you need to look hard for a difference (that will surely make some people itch, but the RE20 and RE25 are not bad for radio, to record in studio it's average.). Evidently, it can't be compared with a Neumann, but you shouldn't forget that it's an entry level, not exp…Read moreI use it to record spots (radio, hotlines...), and it's more than enough.

How would you rate its value for money? Based on your experience, would you buy this product again? Yes, I already did, without hesitation!See less00 
super-gaffeurExcellent value for money
Published on 08/02/11 at 05:27I use it to record vocals and guitars in a home studio. It's a condenser mic that doesn't produce noise except with very high gains.
OVERALL OPINION
I've used it for over a year now. The sound is fairly good in this price range and it is versatile (but don't use it live, it wasn't conceived for that). It comes with a practical transport case for protection. It has only one con: The clip is made of a somewhat fragile plastic, and since it is not a standard model, you'd better not force it much.
I would definitely buy it again, because its value for money is unbeatable.00
Anonymous What do you really even want now?
Published on 07/14/11 at 10:29The Behringer C-1 is an extremely budget oriented condenser microphone that takes the word "budget" to a level of absurdist humor. It's not that it's all bad; for the price, it's actually quite a monster.
It has a frequency response of 40-20,000 Hz, and comes with no other bells and whistles. It does include, of course, the necessary stand mount and the carrying case, something that Behringer likes to include with everything.
The Behringer C-1 requires phantom power, and does not plug directly into your computer. It requires an interface that has analog to digital conversion. So, to everyone not familiar with this, do your research before you leave a bad review because it doesn't work…Read moreThe Behringer C-1 is an extremely budget oriented condenser microphone that takes the word "budget" to a level of absurdist humor.

OVERALL OPINION
It feels absolutely wrong to come at the Behringer C-1 from the perspective of anyone who works seriously in sound, but when Behringer tries to pander to me, I say to them, "Bring it on?" Apparently, Behringer tells me that this microphone is fantastic for everything and has a flat frequency response. Do I believe that, not exactly. You can throw all the specs you want into a microphone but I know for a fact that quality control just has to suffer with this microphone. Obviously, I did not test out a dud. But I don't think I could deal with being musical with this microphone. Sure, the fidelity may be all there, but it sounds less detailed than a lot of dynamics I use!
I'm sure this microphone is enough for some people, and I know for sure that I am not a snobby elitist who just likes expensive microphones. There are some pretty expensive microphones out there that I quite frankly detest.
However, if you need a cheap microphone fast, I wouldn't be against getting this, although at that point, I'd tell you to invest in a good dynamic first.See less00
oxyde31Published on 07/26/09 at 04:40What kind of mic? (for vocals, instruments, both...)
A bit of everything, read my C-3 review
The technology? (electret, condenser...)
Condenser
OVERALL OPINION
How long have you been using it?
One week to play around (given the price)
Which feature do you like the most / the least?
No lows and it has a big dip in the mids. After some modifications it starts to get interesting, but you can't get much out of the mic.
Did you try any of other models before buying this one? Yes, almost all prestigious models you can find in big recording studios
How would you rate its value for money? You get what you pay for
Based on your experience, would you buy this product again? …Read moreWhat kind of mic? (for vocals, instruments, both...)
