    After watching this microphone test you will better understand the difference between a dynamic microphone and a condenser microphone.
    First we will listen to a test recording of the Behringer C1 studio condenser microphone, second, we will compare the sound quality against the industry classic Shure SM58, which is a less sensitive dynamic microphone.
    To my surprise, the Behringer C1 developed a small humming noise while recording this test, which may have been a failure on my end, because in other recordings I could not hear any noise.
    I have since tested the Behringer with a USB audio interface, connecting it directly, as well again with my Tube Preamp, and each time it did work fine.
    Generally speaking, condenser microphones tend to be more sensitive because they use the 48volt phantom power, while dynamic microphones tend to be less sensitive and better at rejecting unwanted sounds in the environment.
    Personally, I believe that dynamic mics are somewhat easier to use for beginners because they often tend to be more robust and easier to handle.
    Then again, some people may prefer the sound of condenser mics, simply because they are more sensitive and sound different

    I've had a C1 for a while, which also developed a hum problem. In the end I tracked it down to a bad earth connection to the case. The grille is held to the main body by 4 screws and both the screws and both faces connecting are painted. Scratching off the paint at one point of contact between the grille and body fixed the electrical connection between them and the hum has gone.

    The Behringer C1 sounds like there is a hum or some low frequency rumble in it.

      Its a 50hz hum, so probably an electrical.issue, like bad earthing.

      Future videos will be better and have less/or no background music when testing the mic.

    Phantom power might get rid of that low hum on the Behringer, but the SM58 is just better IMO.

      Hardly a fair comparison though. The Shure SM58 however is WAY more expensive. A bit like comparing a Ford with a Ferrari!

      Make sure to turn on the +48V switch on the back of your Behringer UMC22 audio interface.
      This is because the Behringer C1 is a condenser microphone, and needs the 48-volt phantom power!

    • @ReviewTechTV
      @ReviewTechTV  4 роки тому +1

      Sure mic needs strong preamp, maybe Zoom has a weak one build in, if the preamp is strong Shure has a good sound, you could try a more sensitive mic, e.g. condenser mic instead of dynamic.

      With the sm58 you need an audio interface because its a mic, if you just want mic w laptop get an usb mic. H4n is a portable recorder its completely different

    It really needs testing against another condenser mic, I ran a AKG C3000 against the C1 and there's a big difference. The C1 is dull in comparison, maybe I just got a bad mic.

      You cant seriously compare a $59.00 mic with a $300.00 mic, and the massive difference in the price is not worth it considering the little noise that the c1 may have ?
