Behringer C-2 Small-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone Pair

Bring expansive stereo sound into your home studio with this matched pair of Behringer C-2 small-diaphragm condenser microphones. With its low-mass diaphragm and ultra-low-noise transformerless FET circuitry, the Behringer C-2 delivers pristine audio at an absolutely unbeatable price. Matching professional-grade engineering with premium features like a gold-plated XLR output and switchable low-frequency roll-off and input attenuation, the C-2 is a bargain buy with endless applications for both the studio and live settings.

This matched pair was carefully selected for uniform performance and nearly identical sound capture, making them perfectly suited to producing a balanced stereo image. Work with them in tandem to capture acoustic guitars, string quartets and choirs in beautiful stereo, or employ them separately to focus in on sources like hi-hat or snare. However you choose to work with your C-2s, they’re sure to impress with their amazing versatility and true-to-life sound.

Low-Mass Diaphragm for a Nuanced and Natural Sound

The Behringer C-2 features an ultra-responsive low-mass diaphragm that brilliantly captures the quick transients of stringed instruments, percussion and so much more. Boasting an extended frequency range of 20Hz–20kHz, the C-2 reproduces the complete spectrum of sound with impressive accuracy. You'll hear intricate harmonic details, realistic dynamics and an overall natural sound quality. And with its smooth cardioid pickup pattern, the C-2 effectively rejects sounds from the side and rear, capturing your source with clarity and focus. This intelligent unidirectional design minimizes feedback issues and room ambience, making the C-2 ideal for drum overheads, loud instruments and live applications.

Transformerless Output for Impressive Clarity

Intelligently engineered with transformerless FET circuitry, the Behringer C-2 delivers ultra-low-noise performance over a wide dynamic range. This compact small-diaphragm condenser’s advanced FET (field-effect transistor) technology eliminates low-frequency distortion while providing a clean, clear signal chain. It also minimizes self-noise and delivers exceptional transient response for a focused and precise audio image—even at the highest sound pressure levels. The C-2's gold-plated XLR connector further ensures audio clarity, providing a reliable, loss-free connection with optimal signal integrity. Whether you're recording delicate strings, intricate vocal harmonies, or high-volume, high-intensity drums, the C-2 condenser delivers pristine sound quality you can count on in all situations.

Dial In Your Sound With the Flip of a Switch

While the C-2 may be built with budget-conscious consumers in mind, it doesn’t skimp when it comes to intelligent integrated features. This versatile pencil condenser offers two built-in switches for even further control over your sound—low-frequency roll-off and 10dB input attenuation. The low-frequency roll-off eliminates infrasonics and is ideal for reducing unwanted low-end rumble in close-miked recording scenarios. When working with high-volume sources like cranked amps or in-your-face vocals, switching on the attenuator pad raises the C-2's max SPL to an impressive 150dB, giving you the extra headroom you need to capture clear, undistorted audio. Together, these features offer maximum flexibility on stage and in the studio, allowing you to tame loud signals and difficult frequencies with ease.

High-Quality Construction and Premium Accessories

Built for the road and the rigors of the studio, the small but mighty Behringer C-2 is a rugged microphone you can rely upon for years to come. Boasting high-quality components and a durable die-cast metal chassis, the C-2 is nearly indestructible—especially when paired with the included carrying case. Your matched pair of C-2s also comes with stand adapters, windscreens, and a stereo bar—everything you need to get the most out of your mics. The entire collection fits snugly in the sturdy foam-lined case, making for the perfect portable mic setup, whether you’re on tour, in the home studio, or taking your recording rig on the go.
