The 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 like you wish it could.

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.
