Professional Large-Diaphragm Studio Condenser USB Microphone

Get your podcasting, streaming, or home studio setup going without breaking the bank with the C-1U from Behringer, a large-diaphragm USB condenser mic that plugs right into your computer for class-compliant PC and macOS operation. With a flat frequency response and cardioid pickup that reduces room noise, the C-1U will have you producing great-sounding content right out of the box.

The C-1U features transformerless FET circuitry and a shockmounted condenser capsule for pristine, low-noise audio quality. The mic can handle up to 136 dB SPL, enough to record most sound sources, from loud, close-miked voices to drums and amplified instruments. The body is constructed from durable die-cast metal, ensuring reliable performance for years to come. The C-1U includes a swivel mount and a USB cable.

Advantages of Condenser Mics

Condenser microphones are the ideal choice for capturing vocals and acoustic instruments. Condensers capture much more detail than most dynamic mics because of the high sensitivity and wider, flatter frequency response of their transducers, which use two electrically charged plates instead of a large coil.

What Is a USB Microphone?

Not only is the C-1U a condenser mic, but it’s also a USB mic, a convenient hybrid of an analog microphone and a digital audio interface. With a USB mic, you get the convenience of simple plug-and-play operation, allowing you to plug your mic directly into your computer and start recording without any extraneous hardware in between.This design is ideal for simple one-mic applications like podcasting, streaming, and home studio recording. Also, unlike traditional analog condenser mics, USB mics like the C-1U, are powered by their USB connection and do not require phantom power to be supplied from mixers or interfaces, further reducing the need for external hardware.

Hit the Ground Running with Free Software

Because you’ll want to take full advantage of the C-1U’s recording and podcasting potential, Behringer has included all the software you’ll need for audio recording, editing, and even podcasting, all free of charge and downloadable from behringer.com. You’ll be ready to go live on your PC or Mac right out of the box. They’ve 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.
