Excellent Product, Great Value

Just arrived today--tested with iPad2 and MacBook Pro. Works perfectly with Garageband on both devices. Connects seamlessly on both. Even tried with Logic Pro on iMac, but I have other better options there. For location recording this will be perfect--very simple setup, no power needed! Sturdy unit, easily mounts on mic stand--very solid. Tried third-party software (e.g. Audio Hijack, Audacity). Prefer Garageband. Will be perfect for location concert recording. Nice sound. I have an Zoom H2 that does very well, too, but C1-U works alone with iPad (H2 needs powered hub). Success story!

Exellent Quality-Great Price

I bought this mic to do some small home recording with some siblings.
It was much more then what I expected at the price I payed. Its a good buy!
Rated 4/5

Works well with only a little bit of gain

Works really great! I use it to record my singing and for the price it does a really good job. Only problem is it doesn't come with a screen but, otherwise it is fine.

New Microphone Works Great!

I needed a low-budget microphone for voice over work, and Jason Koons (my long time sales rep) recommended the USB Behringer C-1U. It works great! I wanted to input it to ProTools, and (as always) the Sweetwater tech guys worked it out for me. This is going to be a great help in my get-it-out-the-door-quick voice over work. Thanks again to Sweetwater and Jason for being my go-to source for all my electronic needs!

Not Enough Gain

This microphone is not worth the money. Since it is USB, there is no preamp and thus no way to turn up the gain. Therefore, the noise floor is atrocious. I have to bump up the level 25dB and add layers of noise reduction to get a suitable signal. Do yourself a favor and buy the non-USB version and plug it into a mic pre.
