About this manual

The Behringer C-2 is a matched pair of studio condenser microphones designed for high-quality stereo recordings or individual use. The unit requires phantom power (+48 V) to operate and features a cardioid pickup pattern that attenuates sound from the rear while being sensitive to frontal sources.

Key operational features include switchable low-cut filters to eliminate subsonic noise, a -10 dB signal level attenuation for high sound pressure applications, and gold-plated balanced XLR connectors. The manual provides instructions on safety, power supply setup, pickup patterns, and audio connection.
