You are a life saver. I thought the damn thing was broken but it looks like it needs phantom power.
L'MONDEGREEN same when I got mine
same haha
read fucking specs before buying stuff goddamit
@@angeltensey they thought they would just buy a condenser mic and plug and play lmao
@@woodywolf0309I went to a foking music shop, being just a hummer and a strummer, I don’t have a clue, they didn’t tell me either
Great review, I've purchased the c-1 and I'm very satisfied with both its build and sound quality. It works great with my Behringer U-PHORIA UMC22 audio interface as well as my Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 audio interface - both are able to supply Phantom Power 48v via their USB connection.
Lmao funny enough I have the C-1 and Behringer U-Phoria UMC2 as well but haven't been able to get the microphone to work on apps like Discord. I don't know whats up.
@@dowoughnut Heyyy I have a c2 and a behringer UMC204HD, you got it working?
@@dowoughnut Just upgraded my audio setup with the C-1 and a new audio interface, mic works perfectly fine on DIscord and OBS, but I had to lower the bit and teh Hz cuz past 48k Hz Windows stopped picking up sound from it.
@@dowoughnut se hace un desmadre con esos programas xd pero si es posible usarlos, solo actualiza drivers de tu windows y selecciona bien los controladores que quieres que tu programa utilice
INSTEAD OF BUYING A PHANTOM POWER, JUST A FOCUSRITE INTERFACE. IT SUPPLIES PHANTOM POWER
TB Art Graphics pin this comment
behringer sells their own interfaces (u-phoria umc204hd) which also supports 48 phantom. very good value for money (like everything behringer)
this did not work in my case, it caused hum buzz droning noise. It was resolved when I used a separated phantom power supply attached to a different wall socket, and then being able to connect it to the usb audio interface without the need to turning on 48v switch.
@@cURLybOi behringer ultragain USB too
cURLy bOi behringer also sells amazing usb mic mixers with phantom power that works steps above a plain interface.
I hardly ever give likes to videos and / or subscribe, but your channel has helped me so much in picking up a mic and a usb audio interface while setting up my budget home studio. Cheers for that.
what did you end up getting if I may ask?
Thank you very much for reviewing it!
+Rejand My pleasure. Hope it helps! =)
This my first and only Mic, I had it since round 2005 and I still have it, it still look new, that case is really good, and the Mic last for many many years, still going,
2007-8 for me! I've recorded a so many songs and just finished recording my 9 tracks album. Only con is the noise floor that's audible if there's no music or very few instruments playing on the track, but it gets the job done if you can manipulate EQ and all in your DAW
5 years after iam here lookin for ur review to buy the mic
Lol me yoo
Is it good?
oh man, young Bandrew ... The plosives are killing me.
I've been looking around for reviews of this mic. I've found 60% good and 40% bad. So I bought two of these mics to test them myself. What are the odds? One was fine and the other one broken. Numbers don't lie, they say.
Hello i'm kind of 2 years late :D I'm considering getting this mic but i have a question. Does the warranty covers the mic if it comes broken? Because I've seen in video's that people are saying that it comes broken with static noises some with loud static and some with more quiet one and they say it can't be fixed or corrected in anyway.
@@jorotodorow7032 If you buy it through Amazon, then yes, it should have warranty. Just send it back.
@@jorotodorow7032 I bought mine from Thomann. They will take your mother back if you don't like her. Great shop!
I like this microphone. I've been a long time subscriber to this channel, I think it's great. I picked one up for 15 bucks second hand, including a phantom power supply. I don't use the phantom power supply though, because the mic works great of my behringer 802 mixer, which is able to provide 48v pp. It's a real nice upgrade over the bm800 I used to use. The sound is a lot clearer and the bass response is better, the bm800 could be a bit muddy at times.
Great review...very good
I own 4 of these mic when it was launched and they are still going great with me
My dad has one of these just laying around. Good thing I looked it up before using it. Looks like I'll have to buy a phantom power supply.
u-phoria um2 by behringer has 48v phantom power...maybe all their interfaces do.
Thank's for the review! I'm gonna buy this microphone and a U-Phoria UMC22 Audio Interface.
Picked one of these up for cheap in 2012 or 2013 and have been using it for years without issue. It's good to know other people like these too, even though they aren't very fancy.
I just bought my first Mac and now my first Audio interface and am looking for a beginner recording mic. GREAT review my friend. Not too expensive and yet not too cheap. Much appreciated
Awesome man. Have fun!
You got a new subscriber just for the "whatever the case may be" lol
Great review, Pod! I'm looking into a lot of mic options and your videos are being very useful. Practical and right to the point.
Thank you very much. =)
Do you need a pop filter with this mic?
Thanks for the review!
I was looking for a condenser mic, so I think this would be a great choise.
"whatever the case may be" that's a great line, in case you didn't notice.
This C1 costs 28€ on amazon (germany) it's exactly what I was searching for a low price. Thanks for the review
Thanks for the review! I just got this mic from a friend with shock mount mic arm and XLR cable! Gonna use it for voice over stuff and make a livestream setup with it.
Awesome. Best of luck on the Voice over work. Have fun.
Phantom power is verry common requirement in every audio studio.
Sir what do u think is best BEHRINGER C-1 OR SAMSON C01????
same
Same
@Manni Nagar really? I have them both and the c1 is the one who got all fucked up. wired
Which one is better behringer C-1 or samson C01 ??
Every mic you have ever tested for some reason sound often good. hoW!!!!!!!!
I got a lot of Information in a snap while browsing through other informational videos. Health to your labor my friend. thank you.
Hi! I've been watching a lot of your videos this weeks, and I have a question: 5 years later and with much more experience with a lot of microphones, do you still recommend this mic or wich one do you suggest at this price range. Thanks in advance
The Xenyx 302USB does have a phantom power preamp. So it would work fine with the mic, however my experience with it is you do have to kick the gain up a good amount before getting a good sound. Which like you said, causes noise.
+Wornflame 793 That's because Behringer doesn't mention that it only provides +14.5v on the 302USB. I think it's nonsense!
+Podcastage that's some bs, but at least you linked a proper phantom power supply. I'm definitely going to be getting one of those!
I agree. It's bs that they don't mention that on any of the sites/shops.
I love your sense of humor!
"It needs 48V of phantom power to function [...]." - welcome to the world of large diaphragm condenser mics. They literally all do. Use a USB interface.
Wasn't as common in 2015, though.
@@itscarlosreally It was.
@@Thysta Not as common and plenty as 2020.
Been looking for an affordable condenser mic. Thanks for the review Bandrew! And nice throw keep that arm strong!
Great review! Just what we discussed the other day!
+Aramis Thanks.
Very good review. Only missing thing was how much gain on Focusrite 2i2 need to be set for this microphone.
So a 48v behringer u-phoria is good for this?
Does this Behringer worth to expend more than the BM-8000?
I would get the bm8000 instead.
Thanks, I will use it to make covers ( Sing and rec guitar) So i thought This could be better for what you said in this video. I don't know :/
Music Tutorials It's a super quiet microphone. That's the problem.
You can decide for yourself. Which one do you think sounds better?
I think i will buy the C-1. I dont speak english so i dont usderstand when you say QUIET.. but i need the better quality so i suposse the C-1 is more professional.
I just bought one... Anxious for its arrival
Have fun with it.
The video was very informative. Thanks for sharing.
Do you think can be used to record a saxophone?
yo your pretty positively charged bro!!! 😂😂keep it up!
Man this video helped me to decide what Microphone to buy! Thanks!
Watched a couple of your videos. Good insight and details
Thank you very much. That really means a lot.
That's my next purchase then!!! Thanks for a fab review
This mic comes with the behringer bundles (including HPS5000 headphones and either UMC202HD or UMC22) and i am debating on getting one. The UMC22 bundle is much cheaper by a whopping 40 pounds, which sucks because i would rather have the midas preamps but for only 69£ i think it is a pretty damn good deal. I have heard there are sometimes manufacturing defects with this particular mic but as long as i get it under warranty i think it will be good enough for my purposes now.
I like how because of COVID with many people working from home or discovering podcasting and such, these great videos are getting more traffic.
That being said, it's amusing how some fail to realize this was from 2015.
Chill, guys. Past Bandrew didn't even have a UM2 in this timeline.
el behringer c 1 es muy bueno y economico para empezar
love your vids!!
YOU NEED PHANTOM POWAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aye. Unlimited at that.
Reckon the Behringer audio interface the 202 HD can handle it?
Generally speaking, if the audio interface device you're using doesn't have a button on it that says '48v' or '48v phantom power' then it won't be ok. If it does then it's fine.
does dark side power work?
@@shadowxxe only if it has Darth Vader's logo on it :)
Good sounding CM.
Hello! I love you're channel and you're soo funny😂😂😍. I want to buy a microphone and studio set
Can you please tell me everything all the materials and cables I will need!
Thanks for making this review!
The Xenyx 302USB which im gonna use provides 15V of Phantom power, but that is enough, too! Just Test it!
+GuitarMastr3000LP Oh that is enough? It worked for you? Super cool.
Behringer c1 with Behringer U-Phoria UMC22 is the best combo so far in my openion. U will get 16 bit 44000Hz cd recording quality which is 22000Hz we get to hear.This is good enough for any music Production .Trust me .
hey, thanks for all these reviews, good job. I am liking the sound of the C-1 have you tested the c-2s?
I have not.
Oh, I wish I had this microphone at home.
I got this for $18 used one More sensitive than at2020 and im happy with c1
For $18, it's hard to argue with.
Nice review as always!
+emboar9889 Thank you so much!
First things first AWESOMEE REVIEWWW. I have only one question, would you recommend this microphone for Rythm and Blues singing?
thanks for the review/demo. as to the 40Hz limit, it's a TOTAL deal breaker for ME as i need a mic that can record a subbed sound system playing dance music at 30Hz or even lower. THAT'S why i'm looking for demos and so many OTHER videos are useless when they never even plug a mic in.
Your video is amazing, I didn't see it before to buy the interface Xenyx that you showed on the video.
And I have a question, If I use the "Phantom Power Supply Neewer" that makes that my microphone (Behringer C-1) works right, so I can connect the output XLR from the Phantom Power Supply Neewer to the input of my Xenyx, only to transport the sound to my laptop. I think that's a possibility, or am I wrong?
Thanks mate!
been watching for awhile now. love every video I have a request (I know your list is ridiculously long). The vmoda boom pro basically a upgraded lavalier microphone for any headset or audiophile headphones. I noticed you didn't have any reviews any type of microphone like this.. From what I understand its much better then the ever so popular modmic and zalman mic. Thanks!
+Quintin Fertig Hey quentin, question for ya. I'm not sure I understand what this mic is. Is this a replacement mic for a headset like the AGU.50 (czcams.com/video/d48DALx3_ro/video.html)? If so, I will definitely give it a go. Added to my list.
+Podcastage yes it is! But it'll also work with any headphones that have a standard 3.5mm headphone jack into them!
You´re awesome dude, I love you
I loved the video!!! Really great
Use the at my old music Therapy Clinic. It certainly did the job fine. And we also use their cheap pencil condensers. Very quiet. Not much sibilance. Thank you very much. My main mic. Rhode Nt1a. This is so very quiet and clean
Owl City used this microphone when recording "Fireflies".
That's wild to hear but it's great to know that a record that popular can be made with affordable gear. Thanks for sharing. Do yo have a source for that?
@@Podcastage I have a Wikipedia link: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owl_City
"Suffering from insomnia while working loading Coca-Cola trucks, Adam Young began to compose music,[15][5][16] recording with a C-1 Behringer Microphone.[17]"
I should clarify that this microphone was probably used in the early stages since he wrote Fireflies when he was a teenager, so he probably redid the vocals with higher priced gear after he got signed to a record label. Sad, but nice to hear that even though the Fireflies we hear now might not be recorded with a C-1 Behringer, his older songs likely were.
Sorry for the slight confusion. 😔
I'm sorry, what did you say about power or something? I must have missed that.
Good mic .. works fine with umc202hd ..
The Uphoria UM2 supplies 48v PhP no worries -about same price as the mic itself
Fun little video. It would be delightful if you would add the MXL 550 to your list of microphones to test.
+Sir Nigel Cogs Gaming Added to my list. It will be a while before I get to it, but you got it!
Podcastage Great. As an added bonus it comes with the 551R which should be excellent on your guitars.
Sir Nigel Cogs Gaming Yeah. I've been meaning to pick up some mics for acoustic instruments, but this channel really limits the funds for random mics. So it should be cool to be able to double mic the acoustic! Get some really cool sounds that way!
i think the sound is better than a rode nt1a
Thank you!
Dou you have anything recorded as a musician?
nice as always!
can i use it top of the camera with stand? I have guitar channel. I want to use only one mic that can pickup talk and the guitar at the same time. What should i use?
Yakaladımm
The plosive is insane
Actually that mixer has phantom power on the first channel using the xlr input
I was contemplating on getting a blue snowball ice or this one and I decided on getting this microphone hopefully it was a good decision.
Was it?
I have a problem with the microphone, I can't hear it when I'm on my phone or if I send a voice message can you help me?
you send the voice message from your computer? you can check the audio setting from whatever app you use, i get this trouble when i use line app from pc.
Hope it helps
Joel Matondang I fixed it from audio settings, I don't know if the problem was ftom my phantom power, maybe I should have and good interface.
Haha that's my exact guitar, perfect.
listening to this and then the king bee review video is shocking
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE HELP LOL I WAS LIKE WHAT WHY ISN'T IT WORKING
Hi man, I have a question, what microphone is better This Behringer C-1 or the Samson C01 For record voice, thank you for the video and greetings from argentina!
I have c-1 its flawless
I have xenyx 302 usb audio interface, can you suggest me mic that work on it for singing purpose.
Thanks
Can you do a video comparing BM-800 using phantom power vs USB device, please!
+kaliLeto I will do a video comparing a few mics using USB & Phantom. Thakns for the recommendation!
Hey there, thanks for your amazing review! I had a question which i haven't found the answer to while searching the internet.
I have this mic. And i have nothing else, does just using a phantom power and plugging the output of the phantom power to input of a computer work just fine or do i need a preamp? Please i will be very thankful if you reply me. Thank you 🙏
Sorry if this question seems stupid but searching the internet nearly everyone said that i need an interface device, but in your video it worked perfectly just using the phantom power. Im new to this :$
Thank you again
Very nice Reviews on your Channel 👍
Do u recommend the xm8500 or the c1? Which would you take? I'm going to use it for voice chat and maybe streaming.
XM8500 and an audio interface all day.
Ugh, I just ordered this and I guess I need a couple of extra things. I will have to wait a little while but I suppose it's worth it. The mic isn't expensive and it looks decent enough.
How it's going with it? I want to buy it too
Hello first time commenting.
I just bought my Behringer C-1 and set it up perfectly just like you did.
However, mine doesn't record my voice well meaning my voice is very quiet when I record.
I have my mic as close to my mouse as you had in your video. I also have my input volume set at a good level.
Now, I was just wondering if there are any ways to improve my mic volume to the level like you had.
I have the same mic as yours so I should be able to right?
+Ryosuke Araki Yeah. If you have the Mic, Phantom Power Supply, and USB Soundcard, you should be able to get the same performance. What is your input gain set at?
+Podcastage I have Steinberg UR12 which provides Phantom Power and also works as a USB sound card obviously because it is an USB Audio Interface. And I have the gain set at 2'o clock. Beyond that, I start to hear noise and don't want to go beyond it. Of course I have my volume for UR12 set at 100 on my PC. What is the problem here? Or is there not and am I expecting too much?
Ryosuke Araki Connecting to the UM2, I had to set at about 2'oclock too.
+Podcastage Ok thank you for responding so quickly! I guess I'll just have to go along with what I've got. Anyway, your review helped me a lot! Thank you!!
Goodlookin i was gonna cop with no idea of the phatom power being needed
I use xenyx q502u. It can power this mic
Good for podcasts or streaming. Not good to record vocals for music tho.
What mic would you recommend then
the audio level seems a bit low on this one. I've heard you really have to crank the gain on audio interfaces with built-in fantom power. I bet the c-1 would be good with a triton audio fethead
Will this be good for beatboxing?
c1-u test video please
+Batu Music It's the exact same microphone with a different plug...but I'll add it to my poll. www.geeksrising.com/podcastage
Hey thanks for the review. Does the c-1 need a shock mount?
hi bro. greetings from nepal.
i am planning to buy a condensener microphone . can you please tell me which one is good in between c-1 and c-3?
thanks in advance.. liked your vedio.😊😊
is there a background hiss problem with this mic?
Hi sir nice video i have a question which one is better for voice over Behringer C1, Behringer C-3 or Behringer C01?
please help
Hmm, I would have thought Dynamic mic would sound better. Don't really like Condensers. I'm waiting on Behringer Ultralink ULM300USB 2.4 GHz Digital Wireless System arriving. What is your opinions on this? Do you reckon the C-1 is going to sound better? I use a Behringer XENYX QX2222USB 12 Channel Mixer which has 8 XLR mic inputs and 48v phantom power.
