Dual-diaphragm Condenser Mojo

The Behringer C-3 dual-diaphragm condenser mic is an affordable, high-quality way to put large-diaphragm condenser mojo in your mic locker. The large-diaphragm condenser is a studio staple, the mic you reach for when you need to capture a lead vocal or the room sound of a raging guitar cab. The C-3 gives you the big sound, plus the bonus of being able to switch pickup patterns between cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-eight. This gives you enormous flexibility (and used to cost a fortune) Thankfully, now you have it all - affordably - with Behringer's C-3.
