The Behringer C-3 Dual-Diaphragm Studio Condenser Microphone is a dual-diaphragm condenser microphone ideal for high-quality studio recording and live applications. The selectable omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure-eight pickup patterns offer ultimate versatility needed to professionally record vocals and acoustic instruments. The Behringer C-3 holds a pressure-gradient transducer with a shock-mounted dual-diaphragm capsule.
Its ultra-high sound resolution and flat frequency response rival those of microphones with much higher price tags. It also includes an LED that indicates phantom power operation and a gold-plated XLR output connector to ensure highest signal integrity. The Behringer C-3 comes with extensive accessories such as a swivel stand mount and transport case.
The main features of the Behringer C-3 Dual-Diaphragm Studio Condenser Microphone include:
Well made and well presented natural-sounding microphone with good flat frequency response. A cut above what you'd expect and this price point; the only downside is a little bit of background hiss at high gain. it isn't the most sensitive microphone I've ever encountered, but that said for close miking it is excellent, and I suspect it would handle the SPLs in live use. I've not tried the figure of eight pattern but the Omni and cardioid patterns work well.
