USB or XLR, decided once · review
The thinnest listing on this shelf by a distance: a condenser microphone whose single bullet is its own title, with no pattern, no diaphragm, no sensitivity, no SPL and no power requirement published anywhere.
What it amounts to One bullet, and it is the title. A condenser from a maker whose products stay in catalogs — and a listing that publishes no pattern, no diaphragm, no sensitivity, no SPL and no power requirement, at three times the price of the microphone here that publishes all but the first.
The listing carries one bullet. In full:
Behringer ECM PRO Professional Condenser Microphone for Studio and Live Sound
That is the product title, repeated. There is nothing else.
This site reports the figures a manufacturer puts in writing and says when there are none. Here there are none, and the absence is the finding — particularly at $115.62, which is three times the price of the microphone on this shelf that publishes a 16 mm (0.63 in) diaphragm, −43 dB of sensitivity and 130 dB of maximum SPL.
What cannot be answered from this page: the polar pattern, which decides whether the room is in the recording. The frequency response. The sensitivity, which decides how much gain the interface must find. The maximum SPL, which decides whether it survives a snare drum. The connection — XLR is implied by condenser and studio and is never stated. And the phantom power requirement, which is the line that matters most: a condenser plugged into an input with no 48 V supply makes no sound at all, and the fault looks like a dead microphone.
What is in the box is not stated either. No clip, no cable, no stand is mentioned, which on this shelf is unusual — three of the five XLR microphones here list their accessories and one supplies five meters of cable.
The one thing worth saying for it is not on the listing: Behringer keeps products in its catalog for a long time, which is what decides whether a clip or a capsule can still be ordered in three years. That is a fact about the maker, and this page separates it from the specification, of which there is none.

Yes, and it is the product title repeated word for word: *Behringer ECM PRO Professional Condenser Microphone for Studio and Live Sound.* Every other microphone on this shelf carries between four and seven bullets, and the cheapest of them publishes a diaphragm size, a sensitivity and a maximum SPL. This page cannot tell you the polar pattern, the frequency response, the connection type or what is in the box, because the seller has not said.
A condenser capsule does, and this listing does not mention it. That is the one line a first-time buyer needs, because a condenser plugged into an input with no 48 V supply produces silence and the fault looks like a broken microphone. The interface or mixer at the other end is what supplies it. This site reports what a maker puts in writing, and on this listing that is one sentence.
Shown because the accessory names this instrument itself.
