4 C-1U User Manual
1. Directivity
Your C-1U features a capsule with a cardioid pickup pattern and is ideal for recording
individual instruments, vocals and speech. Cardioid pickup pattern means that the sound
produced by sources located in front of the mic is strongly picked up. It is often used
in recording situations, since this directivity pattern tones down the pickup of sounds
located to the back of the microphone.
To place the microphone correctly, the BEHRINGER logo needs to face the sound source
being recorded.
2. Mounting the Microphone
There is an adapter on your microphone that lets you mount it on mic stands with
either metric (Europe) or imperial-gauge threads (North America). First dismantle the
microphone from the stand mount adapter by detaching the ne-thread shoulder screw
at the bottom end of the microphone. Fasten the adapter onto the microphone stand,
place the microphone into it and tighten the screw again.
Basically, the microphone in the stand mount adapter should stand upright and face the
sound source at a right angle. The angle of the microphone to the sound source inuences
the sound of the recording; therefore, experiment with dierent positions until you
achieve the desired sound. To this end, you can rotate the mic in the stand mount adapter
by loosening the screw somewhat and tightening it again.
If necessary, you can bend the microphone out of its vertical position by using the hinge
on the microphone stand.
◊ Please make sure to handle the microphone shaft with attention and care
to avoid damaging the screw thread. In no situation should you ever apply
excessive force.
Of course, you can detach the C-1U from the stand mount adapter and attach it to a
commercially available suspension mount.
