I'm using this for recording my current album, together with the 1204 mixer. See my review of that for details about problems I had with the headphone amp making me think this mic was not up to it - very noisy on that but check out the playback from the recording - absolutely perfect! Best to find a decent headphone amp as well, to hear what this mic is really capable of delivering. If you want to hear a sample of the work I have done with this rig, check out my soundcloud latest recordings at you can compare the difference to the earlier recording done with the Ipad internal mic - quite a difference, yet the Ipad has a great mic also, so that saying a lot for the C1. I was worried at first yet now I am completely satisfied and am not looking for another mic, at any price - this is perfectly good enough to record an album with. At this price it is a gift from Behringer to all of us poor musician folk strugling to survive and do our work as well. Thanks Mr B.
