The Behringer C-1U is a professional-quality condenser microphone, which is identical to the acclaimed C-1 mic, with one awesome difference, it has a builtin USB interface so you can be ready to record faster than ever and with minimal preparation and equipment. It's also included with a USB cable and swivel mic stand mount, so just plug it into your computer and start recording.
The incredible C-1U has an exceptionally flat frequency response and pristine sonic resolution that ensures content-rich audio that is as natural sounding as the original source. The cardioid pickup pattern provides unparalleled sound source separation and feedback rejection. Thanks to its ultralow noise, transformer-less FET input circuitry the C-1U can handle extreme dynamics, all the way up to 136 dB, with ruler flat frequency response from 40 Hz to 20 kHz.
In order to take full advantage of the C-1U’s recording and podcasting potential, all the software that you’ll required for audio recording, editing and even podcasting are included, all free of charge and downloadable from www.behringer.com. You’ll be ready to go live on your PC or Mac right out of the box. Behringer also provided a free download of more than 150 virtual instruments and FX plug-ins, turning your computer into a powerful home-based or mobile recording studio from input to output.
The C-1U condenser mic is designed to be your go-to USB mic for many years to come. The tough, die-cast metal body can withstand the rigors of all those late-night recording marathons, and since it can be powered directly from your laptop’s USB port, you can take it anywhere, and record when the muse inspires you. An excellent choice for all sorts of recording applications, the studio-grade C-1U is available at a price that will leave enough cash left over to secure other recording essentials.
