20 STUDIO CONDENSER MICROPHONES C-2 User Manual
1. Introduction
Congratulations! By purchasing the BEHRINGER C-2, you have obtained 2 condenser
microphones that oer the highest quality standards and the best audio characteristics.
Both microphones have been matched to one another (matched pair), and are
therefore particularly well-suited for stereo recordings. Of course, you can also use
the microphones individually.
Their outstanding characteristics make these microphones a valuable tool in the studio and
on the stage.
2. Power Supply
Phantom power (+48V) is required to operate your microphone. We assume no liability
for damage caused to your C-2 through deective phantom power. Before activating
phantom power, mute your playback system and connect the C-2 to the microphone input
of your mixing console. After activating phantom power, the C-2 requires several seconds to
stabilize itself.
3. Pickup Patterns
Both microphones feature a capsule with a cardioid pickup pattern. Microphones with this
polar pattern are most sensitive to sound coming from in front of the microphone, and also
to a lesser extent from the sides. Sound coming from behind the microphone will be greatly
attenuated. This makes the caqrdioid polar pattern most suitable for recording individual
instruments or vocals within a group.
The so-called proximity eect is typical for microphones with the cardioid pickup pattern.
Depending on the distance between the microphone and the sound source, a slight increase
in the lower frequency range occurs. The shorter the distance, the more pronounced
this eect. By cleverly selecting the position and the angle of your microphone, you can
eectively manipulate the proximity eect and thus aect how your recording sounds.
Experiment with various positions in order to gain more experience.
4. Possible Applications
Both microphones have been matched to one another (matched pair). Therefore, they are
particularly well-suited for stereo recordings. Regardless of whether you are miking an
entire ensemble or a single sound source (e.g. drums, piano or background vocals), this pair
of condenser microphones lets you achieve outstanding spatial impressions in every
recording session.
