I used these C4 for miking my drums as overheads, and sometimes just with bass mic(PL33) . They did the job well, and they are not bad for the price, and could last very long. I suggest these for everyone who need cheap but not bad at all equipment. Never used them with guitar or amp.
Not a bad sounding mic, definatley a noticeable difference when applying the filter.
I’ve one for the review Shane, I used to work for the U.K. distributor of Behringer and we used to sell thousands of Behringer mics, couldn’t buy enough of them, for the money they are really well made, good sound quality & reproduction from the ones I’ve used (C1 & C2) and you get plenty for your money, Behringer range is a mix of some really good products & some are shocking admittedly, but to be honest in the last 15-20years their quality of majority of their range has improved a lot, you always gonna get your Behringer haters and the Snobbery of I only use Shure, Boss etc but that’s upto them if they want to spend 10 times more for something which is not that much difference in comparison without trying an alternative first then go ahead. Good shout on the Rode M3 mic as well, it’s been on my mind for a while now to get one mainly for micing guitar amps but for other applications as well, cheers Shaney boy!! Top Banana!! as we sometimes say in Manchester England.
Thank You Shane, this series has been so helpful. I actually have a little studio now because of this!
You're welcome man, thanks!
Bought a Behringer V-Amp years ago, great product. It's amazing the price of their products. I'm ordering these mic's sound good to me.
For something like that I'd be using it for environmental sounds/ambient sounds.
I've got this pair of mics for a while now, and I'm very happy with them. Good sound quality and versatility.
Man that hard carrying case is a huge plus! I bought a matched pair of the Rode M5 small diaphragm condenser microphones and have really loved the results I've gotten, but not having a case for them has been a big bummer.
I've got the C4 microphones and love them. Great value for the money.
I had to work with tones WAY worse than those, it's quite a deal and great results can definitely achieved! Great demo thanks!
I got these mics for my church and used them to mic the piano. They sounded very nice for that application (at least better then the terrible mic/placement that was used before these).
Wait for it ..................... wait.......................
The Behringer hate squad is forming to the right of the stage! ;-)
"WE HEAR THEM "
I have lots of Behringer gear and the only disappointment is C-3, which is too insensitive and intrinsically noisy. But I love my C-4 set.
And every "Behringer hater" has good reasons for doing so.
@@leswright4108 what about the C2s? Any experience with them?
Great vid, thanks, I was looking for mics for my Yamaha thr10, I want to street perform on a budget and these seem perfect to mic up the stereo speakers of the thr10 into a small PA mix. Now I can use my thr10 as a monitor and mic to the mixer for more volume. The double mic stand adapter sold me, perfect for thr10. Thanks Shane.
Thank you purchased a pair of these great microphones! work great! Not cheap at all.
Been using these for a month now both for studio and for video into my H6 to Eos 200D they are a seriously good work horse and i've done professional studio work down through the years where these would have held up well to some classics
Listened with my reference monitors as well as with a hi-fi setup and my iPad: iPad sounded the best, I did hear some tiny muddies with the Behringers on my reference monitors and hi-fi, but considering most people now listen to music on their phones and tablets with questionable headphones, I’d say these things rock. It’s a bummer the workers manufacturing this gear are so poorly treated, but ya gotta know when to choose your fights. Thanks for the review, Shane.
Great review. Very comprehensive! I own a pair of Behringer ECM-8000 measurement mics which are killer omni-directional mics for recording orchestras or any instrument or vocal if the room acoustics are great. These however would be handier when I need a more focused cardoid sound. I already have a great matched pair of Marshall MX-603S small diaphragm condenser mics, but these would be great to have as a back up during gigs and I love that it comes with that nice stereo mic bar.
the microphones on the camera looked like the Guns Predator used to shoot at Schwarzanegger in the movie Predator . good demo btw .
Rode has more definition on high freq, but I thin if you work with EQ can obtain a great sound from C4, I like Behringer is a good compromise price/quality
I actually liked the c4 on the amp better than the rode. everywhere else not as much.
Pretty cool! I bought the Cads a few years ago for the same price, but I didnt get a case or all the attachments. And the sound is pretty good for for the price!
Seems to be a pretty good deal. I thought the C-4 sounded just as good as the Rode Mike when recording the amp. I couldn't really hear any difference. I've bought a few Behringer products in the past. Some are better than others. I have the Behringer V amp rack mounted amplifier simulator. It was many hundreds of dollars cheaper than the top line models such as the Line 6. I've been very pleased with its performance and sounds.
Nice, thanks!! I have hesitated to buy them so far but at that price I might grow,,,, err get a pair
The fbi showed up to my house after I googled “buy c4”
Sounded good on the amp to me. I'm pretty new to the channel and just wanted to say I dig what you do. It seems pretty hard to find good bluesy gear related channels. Keep up the good work.
High-pass filters allow high frequencies to PASS through
Hence the name high pass....
You CAN'T go WRONG with a set of Behringer mics!
I have a set of C1s and they are amazing sounding!
Check the last lot of Party night vids I posted. ALL the audio was done with 2 C1s!
I have a pair and love them.
Kind of a no-brainer for the money. They seem to sound quite good!
Just caught up with this new series. Great reviews in real world use. Lots of folks can use this kind of info.
Great review. Think this is good value.
They sound great! $59! Great value. 👍🏻
Awesome gear review! Thanks you!
They sound good for the money I have a pair of cad that sounds the same thanks
Had a set of these for about a year now... No where near as good as a large diaphragm condenser, but pretty darn good for the price. They have their own 'colour' to the sound. If for extra pocket money you ever take up race calling the be sure to use one of these wind socked C-4's with HPF switched in and lots of compression to sound the part...
I own this set, great for acoustic guitar. Great for most anything, especially for the price.
Today only!! An explosive deal on our C-4 microphones. These won't blow up your budget. (sorry man, just had to do it!)
If you need three, CAD Audio sells a couple of bundles for $79 (vocal) and $89 (instrument) CND. These have gotten good reviews.
I prefer C2s. The C4s are not bad, but C2s are way more natural and clear sounding, that's good for small diaphgram condenser microphones.
Safer for whom? The mic or you?
I swear by C1s!
It's always a matter of personal taste. I find the C4 stereo set quite boxy sounding compared to the C2 but it's probably just because I'm after a different type of sound. Everyone should use what match better his taste and his workflow :-)
LOL! Ahh the LUMBERJACK!
I liked the Behringer! Can't complain for the price.
Great review brother ! Thanks very informative
Try playing the electric clean. The distortion doesn’t tell anyone how well the Berhinger sounds compared to the Rode which is much more expensive .
Would be helpful to include some periods of silence to gauge the self-noise of the compared microphones. Thought I heard more self-noise from the C4.
1c below $60 isn't $59, Shane. Also it's US prices on the Amazon link and you have to add $11 shipping (maybe more for Oz?) then convert to AUD (You are an Aussie channel after all).
Still and all, seem like a good deal if you can get the lowest price. Best I can find in Australia is AUD$99.
I've purchased this pair at $49 and haven't even taken them out of the box yet. Thanks for reminding me...hehehe
Worth it just for the case lol
I might treat myself with a pair of these, nothing to lose. I suppose quality will be like my C 3 and its a decent mic, does the job.
Great review , thanks Shane 👍
put one of these as your snare top. trust me.
Hi. thx for the test. Would be great if you will show eq window with frequency next time. Greetings
Man Thanks!! Ive been needing affordable matched condensers! Think ill save about 200$ and get 3 sets. That should get the toms +
Bring your mic closer together ,ie, touching at 45° they'll sound much better for stereo.
just added to my to get list ;) cheers for the review
The C4 has quite a noisefloor. Try the B5.
thank you friend.
Come to think of it, i don't think I've seen much acoustic content from your channel, unless I'm that casual haha
Your channel is very informative and entertaining, I'm sure you'd have a lot of valuable points to share about acoustic guitar. Hopefully we could see more in the future. In the meantime, I'll scour your channel for any acoustic content lol cheers!
listening through some 5driver iems, the rhode and c-4 is comparable but they both sound sound good. great content!
Great review, You get a lot of gear with that tiny box.
Thanks! 😀
High pass filter with voice = helium mode :)
Is it good for choir? Thanks in advance
I do hear a nasty top end, I think if you intent to drive this mic, wether with loud sound or used as room mics and process the signal afterward and make it loud, you will hear lots of brittle and nasy stuff... I think these mics are best used conseratively, just modest, no revealing of the bottom of the signal or make the mics sound real loud , you're probably ok
They seemed to be picking up a lot of the room in the acoustic situation. Once Fx were applied it didnt sem as objectionable. Whats the pattern?
I’ve used C2 and C4 simultaneously on a choir for live sound… C4’s were unusable… gain before feedback was really bad… i know it’s more sensitive than C2, but to capture the same source with the C4 was impossible.. it just feback before anyrthing was barely audible… for Home studio maybe…
Thank you, I need micing for live choir applications so I go for the C2
Nice
Nice stuff man.
This sounds awesome for 60 bucks. Also, I'm going to buy the Behringer UMC404HD. Best part of the video was seeing you play an acoustic guitar 🤣 Did you borrow one, or did you buy it a while ago?
Classical Blues a new musical genre
haha thanks man! 😂
wow
Just bought a mic thanks to your vid here! I planned to buy these Behringers for micing my tube amp, but after you played the amp into the Rode M3 I opted for the Rode M3 BIG TIME :D Cheers!
Great info in this vid and I must say those mics are a great "bang for the buck" investment.
RIP headphones indeed! haha I was hearing it kind of loud! Cheers!
Hey Shane - what a great video mate. I admire your content, very informative and the the way you edited it all together is first class. So what is your honest opinion to the quality (as in self noise) of these puppies? I can see they are great for close up to an acoustic guitar or miking up powerful applications such as a speaker cab and Possibly a drum overhead but with quieter things like talking from around 2 feet away, what are your thoughts? I appreciate they are budget mics but would an extra $100 or $200 make a huge difference ? I have a Saramonic dual Channel pre for my camera and I’m looking at creating “talking head” type videos and playing acoustic instruments. - sorry for all the questions .......Peter.
Damn on the electric guitar I actually preferred the Behringer lol... A little bit more top end and a bit more open.
Getting a set coz I'm looking for something cheap and decent for room mic'ing
Does not seem to ship to Oz from either supplier
it's in C4 military explosive color !! ha ha :)))
Great deal. Was a vid posted with the XY camera setup?
Behringer used to be so cheaply made that if you moved their products too much they'd break. I haven't bought any of their stuff in years because of this. I know a lot of church's buy behringer cause they're cheap plus in a church environment you're not really moving stuff around a whole lot cause once it's set-up it pretty much stays that way. I almost bought a bugera amp till I realised it was ultimately made by behringer so I passed on it.
the rode sounded way way better. i just got a sennheiser e906 though
Just Let me know How, they Sound with Acoustic Drum Kit?
Sounded great to me for under $75! Thanks man! Sadly in this day and age, the name when paired with the OD green color seem like bit of a bad joke though y’know? I’m sure they keep that subdued on the shipping packages 🤔🤙🏻
I thought the mics were black so I was pretty surprised. Not sure how much I like the green but I like the results of the sound ☺️✅
Thanks for the review have just purchased a pair for the studio on the strength of it!
I am using the steinberg 2-4-2 interface is that what you used for this test?
Sorry for the long comment! After I saw your 3 series of home studio mics on a budget I would like your honest opinion. First I want to made my own home studio, I already have a Behringer U-phoria UMC204 HD, a Mac computer and a DAW. I’m looking for condenser mic and a dynamic mic, my intention are only for a personal use I don’t intend to become pro or record anybody else then me or some of my close friends. Later on I would need some monitor to but all on the cheap side. Do you have any recommendation? Gino
Whats the differences between the C2s versus the C4s?
They look like a knock off of the Studio Projects C-4 mics Sm Dia. but those are about $400+
Which is better behringer b5 or behringer c4?
Nice video! How did you eliminate the back noise? The one that sounds like shhhhhhhh hahaha. Could you tell me?
Not an expert asking: is it possible to connect/use C-2 on a PC via the USB?
_(which adaptor?)_
No you need a sound card or an XLR to USB adapter if they exist.
You should have demo-ed on an acoustic gtr.
Can I plug them into a mixer and use them separately for live choir singing?
@David Ryan thank you
Just curious what made you chose the c4 over the c2?
I had a set of C-2 about 10 years back and wanted to try the new ones ☺️👍
Other than color and name what's the difference and which one did you prefer?
Not a bad sounding mic for sure and you can't beat the price. I'm sure the Rode cost a lot more.
MADE in Oz, what do you expect?
STILL going on with that old chestnut?
Sounds like an Suzuki guitar.
Solid instrument mic, horrible vocal mic. For 68 bucks, I'm impressed. Might grab a set for some guitars.
Got all excited until I realised it's US pricing...
Thanks, I know you ad this video a long time ago but family life work holidays...
very little if any difference
rip headphones haha
💙❤💚👍👍👍🤝🤝🤝🙏🙏🙏
Thanks man it sounds extremely bad I will look for something else.
Best of luck
It´s junk.
