Top 20 Behringer C-1 Microphone Questions & Answers

Sounds like your Phantom power supply may be defective. To be safe, 1st try moving AC plug for Phantom supply to another outlet as sometimes "sharing grounds" can be a problem. If this doesn't help, try using another phantom power source ...many PA mixers have built-in phantom power. If the buzz disappears with a new one, it will be a filtering issue (capacitors) with the old phantom supply.

The C-1 is a condenser microphone, which means that it requires phantom power in order to function. Most M-Audio products will provide phantom power, so it would just be a matter of pressing the button or switch (it might be marked +48 or +48v). If your M-Audio device doesn't have such a button or switch, you'll need to upgrade to a preamp that does in order to use that mic. If you do turn it on and it still doesn't work, there's something wrong with either the cable or the microphone itself.

you could get away with getting a small behringer mixer that has +48V of power for the mic. Put your mic cable into there and then run straight out using 6.5 (guitar) cable to your computer. you may need some connectors to convert your jack.

The easiest way is to plug it into a mixing desk or microphone input on a sound card. However, whichever you do you will need phantom power as this microphone requires it.

That's a condenser microphone. Make sure you have on your phantom power. Should be a button or switch somewhere on the mixer ( individual channel or switch by power switch or in master section for +48v). All condenser mics require this.

With the C-1 it does require phantom power to work. On the board your using make sure the +48(phantom power) button is pressed in and it should be golden.
If it's the C-1U, the drivers must be installed first. http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/C-1U.aspx
Good Luck, Cody J.

The wire that is not connected is probably the ground wire. Reconnect it and your humming should stop.

I don't know what you mean by "audio box".

This microphone REQUIRES "phantom power" and if your "audio box" does not provide that or the switch on it is set to phantom off, the light will not come on.

It is likely that the brown goes to pin 1 (ground/shield phantom -) as well as the black.

Red is likely to go to pin 2 (across from 1)(signal +)
and the orange to pin 3 (signal -)

You can get one in whatever language you are most comfortable with.Here is the place for your microphone:http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/C-1.aspx Your microphone needs phantom power which is a feature on the mic800. Just remember to use a good XLR balanced microphone cable or the phantom power won't work and you could damage something. Hope this helps.

Toroid Transformer is used in power supply not with headphones out. Headphones out are directly connected with headphone amplifier IC. (Note that the difference in 4700 and 8000 is number of channels. Rest of the circuit diagram is same). Behringer HA 4700 PowerPlay Pro-XL ' SynthXL - FREE Service Manual

When a heavy item is dropped onto the top of a control, it can break internally. I would check the encoder switch is working correctly, if not, replace if needed.

Check the routing and toggle the buttons. It may be a tarnished connection.

Also how do I reconnect the fan? It sounds like you may have a broken potentiometer (aka volume knob) for the master volume control. If that is the case, you would need to replace it with a new one (or take it to an electronics technician to diagnose and repair). Regarding the fan disconnection, this likely isn't causing your issue but you would still want to reconnect it as it keeps your amplifier cool while in use. Reconnecting is fairly straightforward - all fans have 2 or 3 wires that connect to corresponding terminals on the amp. Just make sure you don't mix up which wire is positive and negative, and make sure they are connected firmly and securely.

I would order new cable price = quality. CBI cables with neutrik connectors.

Hi, Please test the loudness of your device with a third-party decibel meter. This will give you a clear measure of whether the loudness of your device is changing with increase in volume. It could be that your surroundings are absorbing the increased sound. Thank you.

is there a noise reduction setting thats on

Question edited to spelling or 'Europower'. I am a but confused by the question but here is the manual dealing with a monitor. Page 5, 10, and 11. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/214306/Behringer-Europower-Pmp1280s.html?page=5&term=monitor&selected=1#manual ..

The channels are setup according to the model. If you have stereo (2 channel L/R) then you cannot get 5 channels out of it. To do this you need a card that is 5.1. If your card IS 5.1, then i would enable the channels in the audio mixer for the card.

Check your cabling first.
