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.
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.
