Important Safety

Instructions

Terminals marked with this

symbol carry electrical current of

sucient magnitude to constitute

risk of electric shock. Use only high-quality

commercially-available speaker cables with

¼"TS plugs pre-installed. All other installation

or modication should be performed only by

qualied personnel.

This symbol, wherever it appears,

alerts you to the presence of

uninsulated dangerous voltage

inside the enclosure - voltage that may be

sucient to constitute a risk of shock.

This symbol, wherever it appears,

alerts you to important operating

and maintenance instructions in

the accompanying literature. Please read

the manual.

Condenser microphones are

extremely moisture-sensitive.

Never use your microphone in

close proximity to water (e.g. bath tubs, wash

basins, sinks, washing machines, pools, etc.).

Always use the power

supply specied in the

operating instructions.

Take care not to drop your

microphone as this can lead to

severe damage. BEHRINGER

assumes no liability for any damage caused

by the user.

After each use, wipe the

microphone down with a soft cloth

and place it back into its protective

casing (included with the microphone).

The small bag containing the

moisture-absorbing crystals should remain

in the casing to help keep your microphone dry.

CAUTION

Never dismount the screen holding

the capsule, as this can damage

the microphone! Never try to modify the printed

circuit board inside your C-1! This can lead to

microphone damage that cannot be repaired.

Any such attempt will void the warranty.

Limited Warranty

Please register your new BEHRINGER

equipment right after your purchase by

visiting behringer.com and read the terms

and conditions of our warranty carefully.

Power Supply1.

Your condenser mic C-1 needs a phantom power supply (+36 to +52 V). If your

C-1 is connected to a microphone preamp and supplied with phantom power,

the LED on the microphone lights up. BEHRINGER assumes no liability for any

damage caused by a defective phantom power supply. Always mute the sound

reinforcement system before you switch on the phantom power supply.

Directivity2.

Your C-1 features a capsule with a cardioid pickup pattern and is ideal for

recording individual instruments, vocals and speech. Cardioid pickup pattern

means that the sound produced by sources located in front of the mic is strongly

picked up. It is often used in recording situations, since this directivity pattern

tones down the pickup of sounds located to the back of the microphone.

Microphone Installation3.

There is an adapter on your microphone that lets you mount it on mic stands with

either metric (Europe) or imperial-gauge threads (North America). First dismantle

the microphone from the stand mount adapter by detaching the ne-thread

shoulder screw at the bottom end of the microphone. Fasten the adapter onto

the microphone stand, place the microphone into it and tighten the screw again.

Basically, the microphone in the stand mount adapter should stand upright

and face the sound source at a right angle. The angle of the microphone to the

sound source inuences the sound of the recording; therefore, experiment with

dierent positions until you achieve the desired sound. To this end, you can

rotate the mic in the stand mount adapter by loosening the screw somewhat

and tightening it again.

4STUDIO CONDENSER MICROPHONE C-1 User Manual

If necessary, you can bend the microphone out of its vertical position by using the

hinge on the microphone stand.

Please make sure to handle the microphone shaft with attention and◊

care to avoid damaging the screw thread. In no situation should you

ever apply excessive force.

Of course, you can detach the C-1 from the stand mount adapter and attach it to a

commercially available suspension mount.

Audio Connection4.

Use a balanced XLR microphone cable with the following pin assignment:

pin 1 = shielding; pin 2 = +; pin 3 = -. Since your C-1 features gold-plated

contact points throughout, we recommend that you use only microphone cables

with gold-plated connectors.

Level Setting/Adjusting the Basic Sound5.

Adjust the gain control in the microphone channel of your mixing console so that

the peak LED lights up only occasionally or never at all. The EQ controls in the

microphone channel should be set to mid-travel position to start with. To get

the sound you want, try changing the mic position relative to the sound source

or even move the microphone around in the recording room of your studio.

Adjusting the angle at which walls face the sound source can also be helpful.

Only when the desired basic sound has been achieved, should you start to use

equalizers and signal processors, if any at all (remember: less is often more!)

Due to the extremely linear frequency response and the high sonic resolution of

your C-1, there is no need for high-frequency “EQing” that can heavily inuence

the signal and unnecessarily increase the noise level. The C-1 provides that

much-desired transparency which often gets lost during recording and mixing.
