Recording
and Podcasting Never Had It So Good!
The C-1U is a digital home recording or
podcasting enthusiast's dream come true. This professional quality condenser
microphone is identical to the acclaimed BEHRINGER C-1 mic with one awesome
difference: it has a built-in USB interface so you can be ready to record
faster than ever, and with minimal preparation and equipment. Just plug it
into your computer and start recording!
What is a
USB Condenser Microphone?
The primary type of microphone used in
recording studios and radio stations, condenser microphones are the ideal
choice for capturing vocals and acoustic instruments. Unlike a dynamic
microphone, a condenser microphone collects sound from throughout an
environment such as a room, rather than only picking up what's happening
directly in front of it. It is capable of capturing much more detail with
wider, flatter frequency response.
Trouble is, conventional condenser
microphones arent made to interface with a computer — you have to provide a
microphone preamplifier and an analog-to-USB interface.
But the C-1U has a built-in USB
interface that derives the needed power directly from you computer's USB
input and requires no special drivers. Just plug in and start recording your
masterpiece!
Does
Awesome Sound Come Any Easier?
The short answer is no. Unlike most
other USB microphones, you won't need to download any additional drivers to
begin using the C-1U right out of the box—it even works with Vista!
You also get an extensive software
package with Audacity for recording, Kristal Audio Engine for editing and
multitracking, Podifier uploading software and PodNova downloading software.
It works like this: Connect the mic to your PC or Mac. Load Audacity and
save your recording onto your hard drive. Now load the included Kristal
software and you can edit your recording or add tracks. Now you're ready to
upload your work onto the Web via Podifier.
Sound That
Astounds
Getting started with the C-1U may seem
like child's play, but this pro-caliber microphone is anything but a toy. It
has an exceptionally flat frequency response and pristine sonic resolution
that ensures content-rich audio that is as natural sounding as the original
source. The cardioid pickup pattern provides unparalleled sound source
separation and feedback rejection. The C-1U's ultra low-noise
transformerless FET input circuitry can handle extreme dynamics, from 40 Hz
to 20 kHz, and has a maximum sound pressure level of 136 dB. That means that
even if the special guest on your next podcast happens to be a revved-up jet
engine, this workhorse mic will not distort!
Here's Why
You Need a C-1U…

dynamic microphone youre probably using now
