Behringer C2 Instrument Condenser Microphones

The Behringer C2 professional condenser microphones are designed for studio recording and live applications. The C2 mics have all the big-time features packed in an extremely compact form factor. They are sold as a matched pair - perfect for stereophonic recording - for a price you wouldn’t even consider it bought you a single one. The C2s utilize a low-mass diaphragm for ultra-wide frequency response and ultimate sound reproduction and their inconspicuous size makes them perfect for acoustic instruments, overhead applications, pianos and similar.

The cardioid pickup pattern effectively eliminates feedback, plus there is switchable low frequency roll-off and -10 dB input attenuation. Ultra low-noise transformerless FET input eliminates low-frequency distortion, while a gold-plated 3-pin XLR connector assures the highest signal integrity.

Custom microphone stand adapters, windscreens, stereo-bar and transport case are all included, making these condenser microphones ready for action straight out of the box! If super-compact size is paramount but you don’t want to compromise on the performance, then a pair of C2s is the answer.

Quality: Very well made. Had mine for 4 years using them for both live gigs and recording and they are still going strong.

Ease of Use: Easy to use if you know anything about mics.
Sound: Beautiful sound for such an affordable microphone. I use them as drum overheads and for miking choirs and I always get great results. Best Behringer product I've ever owned.

Quality:
Sound:
Subject:Inexpensive and Impressive
Quality: The Behringer C-2's seem to be solid and responsive. These mics are being used in a small project studio for acoustic instruments. I haven't had the chance to try them as over-heads yet.
Features: The roll-off switch is great. Using one or both mics, the switching ability broadens the tonal possibilities and evens things out. I would like to have a little wider stereo bar but you can always set up another mic stand.
Ease of Use: Anyone can plug in a microphone.... The ease and use comes with finding what it can and can't do. That's the fun part. I think that Behringer did such a great job with these that I am considering a pair of their C-4's for a comparison study.
Sound: So far, I am very pleased with the sound on the acoustic instruments that I have recorded. I still have a lot of tests to run but I believe that they will serve me well for years to come.
Do you own this product?: own it

Subject:Flippin' Sweet!!!
Quality: These mics are awesome. The clarity of these mics by far surpass the price of them. For such a low price you get two super clear condenser mics.
Features: I am blown away by the clarity... I'm use to seeing large numbers on price tags for mics like these!
Ease of Use: This product is so easy to use. You just hook them in your mixer or interface, and turn on phantom power. Its that simple.
Sound: The tone is awesome. It has settings for high frequencies, low frequencies, and a setting for balanced. It picks up so amazingly clear. I am appalled.
Do you own this product?: Heck Yes!!!
