We’ll done. I agree 100% w the SM-58&57 and the C-2s. I would Highly recommend the Warm Audio 47jr for large diaphragm. $249 new $200 used and absolutely fantastic sound quality.
This is a good review, however I find the comparison between the Behringer C1 and C2 to be kind of curious. The pencil one (C2) begins to roll off at about 250 Hz and appears to be down -3 dB at about 175 Hz. That means that the bass response starts tapering off at about 250 Hz, and has a linear slope that takes it to the - 3dB level at 175 Hz. The larger C1 mic, is flat in response on the bass end, all the way to 50 Hz. The chart doesn't show the roll off before 50 Hz. This would give the C2 a more flat response on the bass end. On the high end the C1 (larger one) begins to ramp up at about 2 kHz in a linear fashion, up to about 10 kHz, where it peaks at about 4 dB, then rolls off over a curve to 20 kHz. In contrast, the C2 (pencil mic) begins to, also, rise at about 2 kHz, but at a much gentler, linear slop, up to about 10 kHz, peaking at about 2 dB (note 2 dB lower than the 4dB peak of the bigger mic), but with a very quick roll off (much steeper than the C1.) So, the C2 has less bass response, a flatter curve, relatively speaking, up to about 10 kHz, but rolls of much more drastically on this high end. This is what I see by comparing the frequency charts. The C1 (larger one) has a dry, flat, kind of linear sound, with a slight high end boost. They make a decent template for EQ' ing. If you want vocals to stay out of the boomy lower midrange area, where other instruments might be competing with them and adding to the boominess, these appear to be a good choice.
I found that the mic I'm currently using for live shows, the SeElectronics V7, to be a better sounding dynamic mic than the 58 and is also really well built, has a better frequency response, another good dynamic mic that I've used and liked was the Senhiezer e845 but I'd say that the V7 is the better of the 2. I never liked the sound of 58's on my voice, this is just what I found in my personal experience with the mics.
OP, thanks for this review. Personally, enjoy my C-2's very much. They have this interchangable capsule going on about them, but I haven't been able to find them. Do you know where i can get different capsules for the C-2's?
They are to multi-directional. That is why boom mics are usually very directional shotgun mics. If you don't mind them picking up ambient noise not from the source you are pointing at they would be ok.

I got a set of the Behringer C2’s about 6 months ago for drum overheads. For £40 it’s a no brainer!

Great video. Thanks :)
Thanks ,

Thank you very much! 🙂
Good thing the c1 has a low cut because 20 Hz ruins acoustic guitar recording

I have said the exact same thing. The V7 is the new live standard. I have used it on snare too and it was awesome.

Hi there. How would the Behringer and Samson paired with the Zoom F3 perform, such as using a boom mic for interviews?
They are to multi-directional. That is why boom mics are usually very directional shotgun mics. If you don't mind them picking up ambient noise not from the source you are pointing at they would be ok.
@@KrachWerke Thank you
Great video. Trying to get my hands on a pair of the C-2’s but sold out on Sweetwater right now :( Also, any comparison between sE2000 and sE2200?
Thanks. Aboit the se2200 I am sorry I have not used one.
I love my C2s, but I'm about to grab up a pair of C4s. You should check THOSE out, they're so very lovely.
Thank you! I appreciate your vid and help. Here, in Brazil, things can Go pricey due to our currency being Going down...
Can we use C2 with zoom for Podcast brother??
I do sometimes yes. But remember it requires phantom power.
58 is 50 Hz and 57 is 40 hz
