Behringer Microphone C 1U User Manual

C‑1U PODCAST QUICK‑START GUIDE  
This is accomplished by using one of two syndication techniques  
which allow users to listen and, of late, even view digital media on  
such portable media devices as iPod players and laptops.  
1. Introduction  
Thank you for purchasing the BEHRINGER C-1U. This large-  
diaphragm condenser microphone comes with an impressive  
software bundle which includes a variety of applications to crea-  
tively produce professional-sounding podcasts for the internet.  
Move up to the next step in the evolution of broadcasting, and  
free yourself and others from the limitations of conventional mass  
communication.  
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) and Atom are Web content syndi-  
cation formats written in XMLwhich provide either podcast content  
or summaries that link to content and additional file information.  
Podcast is a feed of audio or video files placed on the Internet for  
public access.Anyone can subscribe to the feed and download the  
media files. This allows you to collect programs from a wide range  
of sources for listening or viewing media content, either online or  
offline with your computer or an appropriate portable device.  
2. Podcasting basics  
Podcatcher refers to a software application that enables the down-  
load of podcasts. Usually, it launches when the computer is started  
and runs then in the background, managing feeds that you add  
manually and downloading each at a specified interval.  
The following section gives you a quick insight into the terminology  
being used.  
Podcasting is a term derived from combining the two words “iPod”  
and “broadcasting” and is defined as the distribution of audio or  
video files, such as radio programs or music clips, over the Internet.  
3. Step-by-step installation  
Now that you know the terminology and have all the gear you will  
need to produce high-quality audio podcasts, it’s about time you  
set up the equipment, install the software and get started.  
5) The Audacity software doesn’t include an MP3 codec to  
encode audio files. For this reason you will first need to  
download and install the LAME MP3 encoder (more infor-  
download/?lang=en).  
1) Connect your new C-1U USB mic to your computer by using  
the USB connector.  
6) Remember to choose the appropriate driver in the preferen-  
ces of Audacity and Kristal Audio Engine when using these  
programs with your USB audio interface.  
2) Connect any other sound source (CD/Tape) to the “Line In”  
connector of your computer’s sound card using a ⅛" TRS  
connector.  
7) Install the Podifier software. This application automates the  
making of podcasts and includes an FTP feature to upload  
your podcasts to a server.  
3) Hook up a set of headphones to the computer’s sound card  
phones connector using a ⅛" TRS connector.  
After setting up the hardware, you are ready to install the audio  
software and podcasting applications provided on the software  
CD.  
8) Install the Juice or Podnova software. Both of these appli-  
cations are cross-platform podcast receivers which help you  
manage your podcast files.  
4) Then, install the Audacity software application, an easy-to-  
use audio editor, and Kristal Audio Engine, a powerful audio  
sequencer and mixer. Please note that the Audacity software  
is not ASIO capable, but runs on both Windows and Mac  
operating systems.  
9) Alternatively, install the Golden Ear software (works only on  
Windows operating systems). This program is a podcast recei-  
ver that enables you to look for and download podcasts.
