Behringer C-2 Dark Edition Matched Condenser Microphones - Stereo Pair

The Behringer C-2 Dark Edition is a professional-grade stereo recording solution engineered to deliver high-fidelity audio at an accessible price point. This matched pair of compact condenser microphones is specifically designed for both studio and live environments, offering the versatility to serve as either main overheads or precision support mics. Featuring a sleek dark finish and matched capsules, the C-2 ensures consistent sonic imaging across the entire stereo field.

Angkor Music Recording Tip

For home studio owners or live sound engineers, the C-2 Dark Edition is a "swiss-army knife" tool. At Angkor Music, we frequently recommend these for acoustic guitar and drum overheads. Because these mics are factory-matched, they provide a phase-coherent stereo image that is essential for professional-sounding recordings. The low-mass diaphragm ensures that fast transients—like the strike of a drum or the pluck of a string—are captured with incredible detail and clarity.

Precision Engineering & Sonic Control

The C-2 Dark Edition is built to handle diverse acoustic challenges with professional-level features typically found on much more expensive pairs.

  • Ultra-Wide Frequency Response: A flat 20 Hz to 20 kHz range ensures that every nuance, from deep lows to shimmering highs, is accurately reproduced.
  • Onboard Tone Shaping: Features integrated low-cut filters to eliminate low-frequency rumble and -10dB attenuation (PAD) switches to handle high-SPL sources like loud percussion or brass.
  • Cardioid Pickup Pattern: Effectively focuses on the sound source while minimizing background noise and feedback, making them ideal for busy stage environments.

Built for the Demanding Professional

Despite their compact size, these microphones are constructed with high-quality components to ensure long-term reliability in your gear locker.

  • Gold-Plated XLR Connectors: 3-pin XLR outputs provide the highest signal integrity and resist corrosion over time.
  • All-Metal Construction: Durable housing protects the sensitive condenser capsules during transport and rigorous live use.
  • Complete Accessory Kit: Each pair ships in a rugged, custom-fitted carry case including stand adapters, windscreens, and a stereo-mount bar for perfect XY or ORTF positioning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do these microphones require Phantom Power?
Yes. As condenser microphones, the Behringer C-2 pair requires +48V phantom power from your audio interface, mixer, or external power supply to operate.

What does "Matched Pair" actually mean?
A matched pair means the two microphones have been tested to ensure their frequency response and sensitivity are nearly identical. This is critical for stereo recording to ensure the left and right channels sound balanced.

Can I use these for vocals?
While they are primarily used as "pencil" mics for instruments and overheads, they can be used for vocals in a pinch. However, we recommend using the included windscreens or a pop filter to prevent "plosive" sounds during close-up vocal work.
