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  atter frequency response. Another di erence 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 BEHRINGER XENYX mixer – plus enjoy the bene ts of
our state-of-the-art XENYX mic preamps.
Why the C-3?
The C-3 is an a ordable, 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 o -axis sounds; and  gure-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.
