Large diaphragm, fixed-cardioid condenser microphone featuring a 1.06” (27mm) capsule, high quality, low noise amplifier and balanced and transformerless output circuitry. U87 vibes and lots of bang for not so much buck.

A bit of a sleeper hit from Studio Projects, the C1 quickly built a reputation as a go-to for project studios chasing a polished vocal sound sounding bright and present, with a smooth low end and a top that adds sheen without getting harsh.

Vocals sit forward in a mix with minimal effort, often needing little to no EQ, and it handles a range of sources better than expected for its price bracket. There's a bit of character in the highs, but it stays controlled enough to be genuinely usable across sessions.
