What is a Condenser Microphone?[LF]Condenser microphones are the ideal choice for capturing vocals and acoustic instruments. They are the first type of microphone used in recording studios and radio stations. The C-3 microphone is capable of capturing much more detail than most dynamic microphones due to its wider, flatter frequency response. Another difference between condenser and dynamic microphones is that they contain active circuitry that requires phantom power (+48V) to operate. You can power your C-3 microphone with any Behringer Xenyx mixer, where you can also enjoy the benefits of our state-of-the-art Xenyx preamps.

Why the C-3?[LF]The C-3 microphone is a high-quality, affordable way to put this essential tool in your studio for professional performance. It has 3 selectable pickup patterns:[LF]Omnidirectional: Picks up sound equally from all sides.[LF]Cardioid: Picks up the source signal and rejects off-axis sounds.[LF]Figure 8: Picks up sound behind and in front of the microphone but not from around it.[LF]With its excellent transducer and gold-plated XLR output, the C-3 is very neutral and really delivers on the promise of noise-free transmission.

But that's not all. The C-3 condenser microphone is designed to be your go-to studio microphone for years to come. Its tough, durable metal body can withstand the rigors of all your recording marathons, and its included carrying case ensures your C-3 always travels safely and in style.

An excellent choice for both live and studio applications, the Behringer C-3 studio-grade condenser microphone is available at a price that will leave you with enough money to secure other recording essentials.
