Mix (2005) says a 16 mm capsule. Recordinghacks measured a 17.2 mm capsule housing and estimates the diaphragm at 10 to 14 mm, so 16 mm is the maker's figure and may not be the diaphragm.8Retailer pagedjcity.com.au/product/behringer-c-1-studio-condenser-microphoneRead 15 October 2026Spec table: Transducer Condenser, 16mm, copied from the maker.

Sound specs

5 of 10 differ

Frequency responseiPublished acoustic range of the microphone. A sample rate does not establish it.

Min40 HzMax20 kHz2Owner's manualmanualslib.tech/en-gb/guide/216075/behringer-c-1-studio-condenser-microphone-quick-start-guide.htmlRead 15 October 2026Specifications: Frequency response 40 Hz - 20 kHz. The 2011 manual and retailers print the same range.

Min50 HzMax15 kHz1Maker product pageelgato.com/us/en/p/wave-dx-dynamic-microphoneRead 15 October 2026Tech Specs: 50 - 15000 Hz. No tolerance is printed.

Sensitivity (analog)iAnalog output level for 94 dB SPL at 1 kHz, as published in dBV. For a microphone with a switchable preamp, the bypass value is used. A value published only in mV/Pa is converted as 20 x log10(mV/Pa / 1000) and rounded to one decimal, so 1.6 mV/Pa is -55.9 dBV/Pa. The printed value goes in the source note. A sensitivity in plain dB with no reference, as many low-cost USB microphones print it, is left out.

-33dBV/Pa2Owner's manualmanualslib.tech/en-gb/guide/216075/behringer-c-1-studio-condenser-microphone-quick-start-guide.htmlRead 15 October 2026Specifications: Open circuit sensitivity -33 +/- 2 dBV (0 dBV = 1 V/Pa). Recordinghacks prints 22.4 mV/Pa, which is the same level. The test frequency is not printed.

-52dBV/Pa1Maker product pageelgato.com/us/en/p/wave-dx-dynamic-microphoneRead 15 October 2026Tech Specs: 2.5 mV/Pa, -52 dbV/Pa. 2.5 mV/Pa is -52.04 dBV, so the two figures agree. The reference level is not printed and 1 Pa is assumed.

Sensitivity (digital)iDigital output level over USB for 94 dB SPL at 1 kHz. The minimum gain value is used when several are given. The gain setting goes in the source note. On a USB-only microphone use this field only when the maker prints dBFS or ties a dBV value to the USB output, as Shure does for the MV7i. A dBV, dB re 1 V/Pa or mV/Pa value that names no USB output is left out. The printed unit and the gain go in the source note. A value printed for another reference level is converted by the level difference, so -40 dBFS at 80 dB SPL is -26 dBFS at 94 dB SPL. The printed value goes in the source note.

Not available

Not available

Max SPLiHighest sound pressure level at the source's distortion limit. The THD level and output path go in the source note. The value without a clipping protection mode such as Clipguard is used when both are given. The value with the pad off is used. When the maker lists several preamp loads, the highest load is used. The load goes in the source note. On a USB microphone that prints values per gain setting, the minimum gain value is used, as for sensitivity.

136dB SPL2Owner's manualmanualslib.tech/en-gb/guide/216075/behringer-c-1-studio-condenser-microphone-quick-start-guide.htmlRead 15 October 2026Specifications: Max. SPL (1% THD @ 1 kHz) 136 dB.

Not available

Self-noiseiEquivalent noise level, A-weighted, in dB SPL. Lower is quieter. The analog value is used when analog and digital values are both given. A value in dBV or dBFS is left out. On a USB microphone that prints values per gain setting, the minimum gain value is used, as for max SPL.

Not available

Not available

Digital noise flooriDigital noise floor of a USB microphone as printed, usually A-weighted over 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Lower is quieter. Processing that was on during the test goes in the source note. It is not self-noise.

A USB-only microphone has no value here, even when the maker prints an impedance for the capsule. When the maker prints a rated and an actual impedance, as Shure does for the SM58, the rated value is stored and the actual one goes in the source note.

100Ω2Owner's manualmanualslib.tech/en-gb/guide/216075/behringer-c-1-studio-condenser-microphone-quick-start-guide.htmlRead 15 October 2026Specifications: Nominal impedance 100 ohm. Load impedance is more than 1 kohm.

Onboard controlsiFunctions you can change on the microphone itself, by knob, button, switch or touch. Settings that exist only in the app do not count. A switch that sets preamp gain steps, such as +18 or +28 dB, counts as gain. Echo is a knob or button for an echo or reverb effect.

Not available

Onboard processingiProcessing inside the microphone, analog or digital, that works without the maker's app running. A maker statement that settings are saved in the microphone counts. Effects that run only in the app on the computer do not count. An expander counts as noise gate. Clip protection such as Clipguard is clip protection. Limiter is only for a limiter the maker lists as its own effect, never both for one feature. Brand names such as APHEX or Clipguard go in the source note. Attenuation pad is a switch that lowers the capsule output, such as -15 dB. Echo is an echo or reverb effect in the microphone. Exciter or bass enhancer covers effects that add harmonics or bass, such as APHEX Aural Exciter and Big Bottom.

2 of 3 differ

Microphone dimensionsiMicrophone body without a stand or a detachable shock mount. A fixed yoke is included. Width is left to right as seen by the speaker, height is bottom to top in normal use and depth is front to back. Orient the microphone as in use on its yoke or stand. Depth is the direction it points at the speaker, height is up and width is across. An upright side-address microphone has its length as height. An end-address microphone has its length as depth, also when it is held in the hand. A round microphone with only a length and a diameter uses the diameter for the other two sides. The source note states the mapping.
