General

The C-3 is a condenser microphone that will surprise you in many ways. It produces excellent sound quality thanks to its double diaphragm. Diaphragms are thin membranes that vibrate according to the varying sound waves. The double diaphragm of the C-3 captures these vibrations very accurately, resulting in an ultra-clear sound and excellent bass recordings. The Behringer C-3 condenser microphone comes in a transport case that protects it from all kinds of transportation risks.

De slechtste microfoon die ik ooit gekocht heb!
Het ruisniveau van deze microfoon is zodanig dat je constant het gevoel hebt naast de Niagara waterval te staan. Hooguit is deze microfoon te gebruiken voor het registreren van extreem harde hardrock...
Het is ook geen 'grootmembraan microfoon', want in de microfoon zitten een paar kleine goedkope electret microfoonkapseltjes. Mijn exemplaar is inmiddels in de vuilnisbak beland!

Prima microfoon, vast gemonteerd in mijn voor de rest mobiele installatie. Ben zeer tevreden en nu voor een spotprijs bij Bax!

Enkele jaren geleden kocht ik deze microfoon en na ontvangst probeerde ik hem gelijk uit op mijn Soundcraft mengtafel. Ik schakelde tussen verschillende polariteitsinstellingen terwijl de microfoon aangesloten was. Gevolg: ingang van mengtafel defect. Reparatie was duurder dan de microfoon.... Eigenlijk zou dat niet mogen dat de mengtafel ingang hierdoor wordt opgeblazen.

Geluidskwaliteit is ook niet echt geweldig. Dit is eigenlijk geen serieuze opname microfoon. Kan ook niet voor die prijs.

Mijn advies is: spaar even door of koop een goede tweede hands.

Goede microfoon!

Gebruik de mic nu al een hele tijd en ben er zeer over te spreken, heb er zelf een popfilter voor wat ook het werk zeer goed doet.
Microfoon klinkt goed, is stevig gebouwd en zeker de verschillende knoppen op de mic zijn heel handig om de klank, het volume en de opname richtingen aan te passen.

Voor dit geld zou ik em niet laten liggen!

Geweldige mic. Prijs zeer aantrekkelijk en voor semi-pro, een perfecte feelgood mic!

Een zeer goede microfoon voor een scherpe prijs. Geeft een heldere klank, en door de instellingen van de dubbele membranen is dit een microfoon die je overal voor kunt gebruiken. De microfoon is wel wat gevoelig voor poppen, wat met het Konig & Meyer 23956 popfilter goed weg te krijgen is. Dus: een goede keuze voor iedereen die de microfoon voor hobby wil gebruiken. Voor een professionele studiogebruiker is dit niet de keuze, maar dat blijkt dan ook uit de prijs.

Super microfoon voor mensen die net starten.
Ik vind alleen dat hij wel ontzettend gevoelig is. Mensen die aan de andere kant van mijn huis over een tegel lopen hoor je gemakkelijk door de microfoon heen dus aanrader voor in een studiotje of iets eromheen te maken om geluid buiten te sluiten.
