Review on π€ Behringer C-2 Matched Pair Studio Condenser Microphones by Keisuke Uemura α
I'm satisfied with it, there are only some small flaws.
With a very limited budget, buying this stereo pair will be a reasonable solution for recording acoustic guitar or other stringed plucked instruments. It will also be just a great option for overheads, including for live work. Of course, the microphones are budget, so I would recommend looking towards more expensive models in the studio for more or less serious recordings. This is especially important to consider when recording quiet sources like guitar, where the microphones' own noise will be noticeable, unlike recording something loud like cymbals.
Pros
- 1. Price. Here, perhaps, without comment. 2. More than worthy equipment: 2 holders for microphone stands, 2 windscreens, a stereo placement bar (special thanks for that!), a simple but durable plastic case with foam padding. Many more expensive models usually do not have anything in the kit other than holders for racks and windscreens. 3. The sound for its price is quite decent. An excellent choice for acoustic instruments, especially plucked strings. No, you should not expect anything magical, and more expensive models will sound better, but here you need to understand how much a pair of microphones costs in order to understand that they certainly sound for this amount. 4. The presence of a low-frequency cutoff function and an attenuator also cannot but rejoice. 5. Well, I note that even in appearance the microphones are quite decent: they are made of metal, heavy (although they are the size of a finger).
Cons
- Of course, the microphones themselves are noisy, but this is a side effect - a kind of payment for low cost, pardon the tautology. Otherwise, for the money, I do not see any shortcomings in this model.
