C-1UThe C-1U is a digital home recording or podcasting enthusiast’s dream come true. This professional-quality condenser microphone 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. We’ve even included a USB cable and swivel mic stand mount, so just plug it into your computer and start recording! |
What is a USB Condenser MicrophoneThe primary type of microphone used in recording studios and radio stations, condenser microphones are the ideal choice for capturing vocals and acoustic instruments. Unlike a dynamic microphone, a condenser microphone collects sound from throughout an environment such as a room, rather than only picking up what’s happening directly in front of it. It is capable of capturing much more detail with a wider, flatter frequency response. But conventional condenser microphones aren’t designed to interface with a computer – you also have to provide a microphone preamplifier and an analog-to-USB interface. The C-1U features a built-in USB interface that derives the needed power directly from your computer’s USB input and requires no special drivers. Just plug in and start recording your masterpiece! |
Sound That Astounds!The incredible C-1U has an exceptionally-fl at 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, transformerless FET input circuitry the C-1U can handle extreme dynamics, all the way up to 136 dB, with ruler-fl at frequency response from 40 Hz to 20 kHz. Which brings us to software... |
Free Would Be Nice!Because you’ll want to take full advantage of the C-1U’s recording and podcasting potential, we’ve 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! We’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. |
But That’s Not All...
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 and will leave enough cash left over to secure other recording essentials. Check out the incredible C-1U at a dealer near you.

This is a USB device on an OS that even installs everything for you, it should be good to go. Plug and start recording your masterpiece? Not until you spend hours chasing around for a device level fix until you eventually give up and surrender your recording to the murky world of post record fixes.
How is this problem not sorted by now? the mic has been out for years. Behringer undoubtedly know of this issue and aside from throwing some unfriendly and grungy looking OEM software at you they seem embarrassingly silent on the subject. I should NOT have to be significantly amplifying the signal artificially through software, there is no reason why I should have to have the levels maxed out under any circumstances, it's forcing me to use multiple software fixes for what is apparently a hardware problem (lack of power I suspect). If the powered USB option works (I'm hoping to find out by the weekend) then Behringer should supply such a PSU with the mic as standard because clearly there is an issue with the compatibility of the hardware with the average users USB set up. If it doesn't then stop selling it as being plug and play level of simplicity to use because it simply isn't.
Nice clean crisp sound with no need for a pop filter (well, I don't need one) only drawback is it can be a bit quiet without much boosting available as there is no software, only Windows to control it.
Make sure you have the mic pointed the correct way though (Yup, I had it wrong initially) as this improves the sound.
It does work very good and it's durable.
After reading other reviews about the low volume issues I was a little wary, however I have no issues with recording volume as I simply turned the mic input up in my audio settings to 90%. When recording my acoustic guitar from about 1 foot away the results were great and so much better than the on board mic, I tried a few vocals and again so much better than the on board mic.
Agreed that there is a little hiss at the high level but nothing that cant be filtered out with software but this still gets 5 stars from me as I have used other mics in this price bracket and none even come close to the recording quality I get from this.
*Update* After using this for over a mouth now I still have no issues with recording level. I have some noise as expected but noisegate in Garageband got rid of most of it, Here is a sample of the recording of acoustic guitar and vocals. Noisegate has only been applied to vocal tracks not the acoustic recording. [...]
If you can live with the low level, then it's a nice microphone.
