Behringer C-2 Condenser Microphones

The Behringer C-2 Condenser Microphones are a matched pair of small-diaphragm studio condenser microphones designed for stereo recording, live sound, and studio applications. Ideal for capturing acoustic instruments, choirs, drum overheads, piano, and ambient recordings, the C-2 delivers clear, detailed, and natural sound reproduction at an affordable price point.

Built as a stereo-matched set, these microphones ensure consistent tone and accuracy across both channels, making them perfect for professional stereo recording setups.

🎙️ Matched Pair for Accurate Stereo Recording

• Stereo drum overheads

Their matched design helps maintain a balanced and realistic stereo image.

🔊 Clear, Detailed Studio Sound

• Tight, focused pickup of sound sources

This makes them especially effective for instruments that require precision and detail.
