C-4 microphones are built to capture
the performance of a choir, piano or
any other vocal or acoustic sound
source to provide a beautiful true-to-life
sound. Sold in perfectly matched pairs,
these outstanding condenser mics are
especially great for live applications
because their non-re ective  nish
eliminates unwanted glare caused by
stage lighting.
What is a condenser microphone?
A condenser mic is the ideal choice for
capturing vocals or acoustic instruments,
either in live or recording settings. By their
very nature, condenser microphones
are much more sensitive than dynamic
microphones, enabling them to pick-up
even the subtlest of signals. Thanks to
their cardioid (heart-shaped) pattern,
C-4 microphones pickup your source
signal while rejecting o -axis sounds that
can ruin an otherwise perfect recording.
Another di erence between condenser
and dynamic mics is they contain active
circuitry that requires phantom power
(+48 V DC) for operation. You can power
them from any phantom power equipped
BEHRINGER XENYX mixer, plus enjoy the
bene ts of our state-of-the-art XENYX
mic preamps.
Sound That Astounds
Every stitch of these mics is designed to
deliver beautiful sound. Beginning with the
gold-plated 3-pin XLR connector, you get the
highest signal integrity.
Once they are connected to your sound
system, you’ll notice these twin pro-caliber
microphones have exceptional frequency
response (an average boost of 4dB between
1kHz-8kHz). For those of you who are new to
condenser mics, this basically means you’ll
get a slightly brighter sound that will give
the perfect shape to cymbals and overhead
mic’ing. Acoustic pianos and choirs will also
bene t greatly from this frequency response.
