## Description

From the manufacturer C-3 Dual-Diaphragm Studio Condenser Microphone Professional large dual-diaphragm condenser microphone for studio recording and live applications Ideal as main and support microphone for studio and live applications Selectable cardioid, omnidirectional or figure eight pickup pattern Pressure-gradient transducer with shock-mounted dual-diaphragm capsule Perfect for acoustic instruments, overhead, piano, etc. Gold-plated 3-pin XLR connector for highest signal integrity Exceptionally flat frequency response and ultra-high sound resolution Ultra low-noise transformerless FET input eliminates low-frequency distortion Ultra-rugged construction with metal die-cast body Swivel stand mount and transport case included The dual-diaphragm C-3 microphone is a home recording enthusiast’s dream come true! This professional quality condenser microphone is designed to capture your sounds with incredible realism, sensitivity and accuracy. With selectable pickup patterns (cardioid, omni and figure eight), frequency filters and input pads, the C-3 mic is an excellent choice for any recording scenario – and rugged enough to go the distance! With a heavy duty suspension mount and windscreen included in the sleek aluminum case, the C-3 just may be the only microphone your studio will need. What is a Condenser Mic? Condenser microphones are the ideal choice for capturing vocals and acoustic instruments. They are the primary type of microphone used in recording studios and radio stations. The C-3 mic is capable of capturing much more detail than most dynamic microphones because of its wider and flatter frequency response. Another difference between condenser and dynamic mics is they contain active circuitry that requires phantom power (+48 V) for operation. You can power your C-3 using any phantom power equipped BehringerXENYX mixer – plus enjoy the benefits of our state-of-the-art XENYX mic preamps. Why the C-3? The C-3 is an affordable, high-quality way to put this essential studio tool to work for you. It has three selectable pickup patterns: omnidirectional for capturing sound equally on all sides; cardioid for picking up your source signal while rejecting off-axis sounds; and figure-eight for capturing sound both behind and in front of the mic, but not all the way around. With its excellent transducer and gold-plated XLR output, the C-3 is very neutral-sounding and truly 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 mic for many years to come. The tough, die-cast metal body can withstand the rigors of all those late-night recording marathons – and the included carrying case ensures your C-3 always travels in safety and style.

Review: Budget pencil mics - These mics get mixed reviews depending on users' expectations. Are these the best mics you'll buy? No. Can you buy better? Absolutely. Are they worth £40? Yes! If I'd spent £200 on these mics I'd have described them as noisy and disappointing, but these are not expensive high quality mics. They are budget mics, and as such they are great. I compared them to an AT835b (shotgun mic, worth much more), and for indoor use found them a good substitute with similar sensitivity. Size is the first thing that hits you, as they're look tiny at just 9.5cm long and 2cm wide. Outdoors, they're not so good as they have poor wind/pop rejection. They do have a little internal hiss if you wind the gain up, but they have a sensitivity of -41dBV, so you shouldn't need crazy amounts of gain, and the specs imply they are good for loud sources (up to an SPL of 140dB at 1kHz, 10dB more with the cut engaged - that's airshow loud). They are a little "toppy" above 10kHz, but you can EQ that out if necessary. I'm not disappointed with these. For the money you get a pair of functional mics, good for drums, guitar amps, crowd mics, and "off axis" speech (so your plosives don't pop the living daylights out of them) for indoor video (eg about 8 inches above and in front of a subject, out of shot).
Review: How can these be £45?? - Whilst I wouldn't say I was a professional music producer, after studying music tech at college I do feel confident in being able to determine whether something is of an acceptable quality for an enthusiast on a budget. I really do think these things are great. Getting two microphones for £45, I wasn't really sure what I was going to receive. Especially when I have used fairly expensive mics (nothing ridiculous costing, mainly mid range rode and shure microphones) at college and further at University. This was exacerbated when I opened the package to find that they are small, I mean really small. They are fairly heavy for their size and feel of nice quality in the hand with the aluminium finish. They come in a 'nice for the price' carry case that seems to be well padded to protect them well enough with all of the accessories and the mics themselves packing up into a small area, great for on the move recordings. Small note about the incidental pairing stand that they come with, I thought (quite possibly stupidly) that the stand would act as a table mount and hold the mics up. Whilst that is the case without xlr's attached, attached it topples over straight away. Not an issue as a stand is better practice anyway but thought id mention it. Having quickly set them up through my alesis io2 audio interface onto cubase I set about recording my acoustic guitar and vocals as well as just general sampling. They sound great, nice and clear free from distortion etc. Really excellent, especially considering the price point. They need a fair amount of gain from my alesis to get a decent signal through to cubase but once that's sorted they record acoustic guitars very well. For such a small diaphragm they do a good job of picking up low end, maybe too much so when it comes to vocals (probably just my untrained boomy voice haha) for my taste. I do plan to try them out recording a brass band and continue to use them as acoustic bedroom mics. Whilst im not going to lie and say these things are big boy killers (they really arent) they will do a brillinat job of semi professional music production, which in the end is exactly what i bought them for, for a fraction of the price of two Audio Technica Mics or other budget options.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Microphone is good, but shock mount is... shocking!
*by I***N on 6 December 2025*

I bought this in March 2024, and have had no complaints about the quality of the mic. As you would expect from a condenser microphone, it is extremely responsive, and to my ear certainly of excellent quality. One thing no-one had ever told me about though, is the sensitivity of condenser mics to low temperature and moisture - I had been storing it in a cold and sometimes slightly damp environment, and found that when I plugged it in to use it, there was a quite loud background noise. I now store it indoors and this problem has never recurred. It is supplied in a good quality padded case, along with a foam pop filter, and an alloy shock mount. The shock mount is the only thing that lets this microphone kit down - 21 months after purchase, the swivel mount just disintegrated. First of all the bolt broke (even though I hadn't attempted to tighten it for a long time), then one of the side pieces just broke off with very little force on it. So the mic itself is great for the price, and given this low price I would suggest that anyone buying one also invests in an aftermarket shock mount for when the supplied one falls apart!
