By their very nature, condenser microphones are much more sensitive than dynamic microphones, enabling them to pick-up even the subtlest of signals. Thanks to their cardioid (heart-shaped) pattern, C-2 microphones pickup your source signal while rejecting off -axis sounds that can ruin an otherwise perfect recording. Another difference between condenser and dynamic mics is they contain active circuitry that requires phantom power (+48VDC) for operation. You can power them from any phantom power equipped BEHRINGER XENYX mixer - plus enjoy the benefits of our state-of-the-art XENYX mic preamps.
