    As mentioned above it is a vocal microphone (or other for that matter) made in China.
    See manufacturer site for frequency curves and the rest.

    OVERALL OPINION

    A 9 is required. I own this mic for 3 months now coupled to an in-Mindprint voice and change from my SM58! The microphone is solid, very cheap and very well provide (classy carrying case, Bonet + suspension). The sound is so good that I have not seen fit to buy a TLM103! For cons I agree with the previous opinion: the sound can be a bit harsh in the treble. It will compensate in some cases with the equalizer.
    Tip: do not miss out!

But if, on some notes, there is a phasing effect or flange (when singing lgrement cot), but it's supper that's what gives it its heat. A note also, that takes much more than other ambient background noise: problmatiques So for that homestudistes enregsitrent ct a computer a little bit noisy (a G5 dual processor in my case, there are more noisy). The taking of a baby grand piano taient more than promising.
    Try it in any state of the facts. Otherwise, k fall in love or not.

    Micro vocals and instruments

    J uses the microwave for 6 months.

    j had previously tested the Rode NT2, Neuman U87 and AT 3035 under comparable conditions.
    The definition captures the sound is in the high-end microphones, but the treble, although Submitted, can generate on Ceratina types of voices and some instruments. (Good for percussion but less for brass, for example)

    I needed a micro versatile and inexpensive.
    I use both decision-voice acoustic guitars, amplifiers, percussion ...
    Only problem: the 150Hz low cut makes (for me) unusable.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I was told that he resembled the U87 with less background noise. I was skeptical, because I have acquired. (Well, we agree: it "looks like".)
    I use a Focusrite Penta.
    It lacks a little bit of prsence 1kHz. I added the votes of approx. 2dB (Q 1.2).
    A beautiful transparency. Not aggressive treble.
    A Q / P Drout. I only regret not having bought a pair.

    OVERALL OPINION

    It's going to be ending for one and a half I I use this microphone to record voice and acoustic guitar. It replaced my first condenser microphone, a Behringer B1 which quickly shows its limits even if c'tait trs good for beginners gently without breaking the bank.
    The C1 was able to bring what I reproached my old Behringer is that it has the lev espce sail which drowns your catch in the softness. This mic is REALLY trs prcis and breathes. I find trsar and may be a little too much actually ... l for once I find a lack of heat but little APRS adpend qu'uon ​​this research. I find it a bit aggressive in the upper medium and if a can put forward a voice in the mix also makes a hair taken some aggressive guitar acoutique we will not fail to equalize.
    I am happy with the trs microphone for the price, gives good rsultat. Today I am looking for something softer and warmer, but the Studio Projects C1 is a good value trs qualitprix!

    The AKG is much more soft and "silky" in comparison, easier to use. I am obliged to qualiser bcp to get the same "prsence" as C1.
    I like the personality of the C1, I use it less now because of his cot capricious, and sometimes treble the ferry (a little "hard", sometimes lacks finesse).
    No regrets: report quality price is excellent. Trs a good mic, but not a micro forcment for beginners. A couple with pramp. who in the sweetness.

    Awesome Mic for the Money

    Studio Projects C1Published on 06/03/11 at 09:55
    This is a large diaphragm condenser mic with a cardioid pattern. From the way I understand it, it is an American designed, Chinese copy of a Neumann large diaphragm condensor, like the U87 at less than 10% of the cost. This mic has a roll offs at 75 and 150 hz, as well as a -10 or -20 pad. Of course, it can use the standard flat response or no pad. It also came with a shockmount. I give it a perfect rating for characteristics, because although it is lacking the ability to change the mic pattern, the C3 has this ability, meaning that the C1 is available for cheaper. The pads and the roll off frequencies are very handy to have, for those who are lacking mixers with these options.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've never been fortunate enough to have worked with a U87, but I can tell you this is the best microphone in my arsenal. It is very quiet, extremely accurate, and has a very smooth, full quality to it. I first purchased the Studio Projects B3, which is also a very versatile mic, but this one blows the B3 (or the B1 for that matter) out of the water. It's my #1 lead vocal mic, but I have also used it to mic a 15 inch bass guitar cab, which captured all of the lows and gave a nice punch. It also sounds wonderful on acoustic guitar. For the money, I've thought about purchasing a second one to use as drum overheads, but it's not in the budget right now. I give it a 9 for a rating because I have heard (and once experienced) a quality control issue on a Studio Project microphone. Fortunately, SP was very good about exchanging that mic for a replacement, even though it was out of warranty.

    The Studio Projects C1 is a condenser microphone made for use in the recording studio. It has a cardioid polar pattern and it also has an XLR microphone cable output. Like a lot of cheap microphones these days, the C1 comes from China and is the same microphone that a few companies are putting out under different names. This is what makes this microphone so cheap and so affordable for home studio owners.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've been using the Studio Projects C1 Studio Condenser microphone for about a year. While it isn't the best sounding microphone in the world by far, it sounds good and is usable. The tone quality is full, but sometimes lacks the full range of frequencies in certain situations. This being said, it works fine in most situations and is perfect for the small home studio owner. In fact, I'd only recommend it to the home or project studio owner as there are much better professional microphone choices out there for professional studios. The best part about the C1 is its extremely cheap price. You can get one of the C1s for about $200 USD new, which would have been unheard of about ten years ago. These microphones are made and shipped from China, which makes them so cheap. The C1 is good for a number of different applications, but won't blow you away while doing any of them. I like using the Studio Projects C1 for recording vocals, horns, and anything else a large diaphragm condenser would be useful for. While I'd rather use any Neumann microphone over this for recording anything, if you are on a budget and can't afford a high end microphone, the Studios Projects C1 is a great substitution. I definitely recommend this microphone for home studio owners looking for a cheap condenser microphone to add to their collection.
