When the C-1U is 

receiving phantom 

power, the blue LED 

will light

Ultra-rugged  

die-cast body  

construction ensures 

years of reliable use

The transducer, 

protected beneath 

woven steel casing, 

is where the C-1U 

collects sound

Getting started with the C-1U may 

seem like child’s play, but this pro-caliber 
microphone is anything but a toy. 
It has an exceptionally flat frequency 
response and pristine sonic resolution 
that ensures content-rich audio that is as 
natural sounding as the original source. 
The cardioid pickup pattern provides 
unparalleled sound source separation 
and feedback rejection. The C-1U’s ultra 
low-noise, transformerless FET input 
circuitry can handle extreme dynamics, 
all the way up to 136 dB, with ruler-flat 
frequency response from 40 Hz to 20 kHz. 
That means that even if the special guest 

on your next podcast happens to be a 
revved-up jet engine, this workhorse mic 
will not distort! 

Here’s Why You Need a C-1U…
•  Far better sound quality than the 

dynamic microphones you’re probably 
using now

•  With its built-in USB interface and 

comprehensive software package, just 
plug in and start laying down tracks

•  You don’t have to download any new 

drivers, and it’s perfectly compatible with 
Windows XP/Vista and Mac

•  Includes swivel stand mount and 

carrying case
