Great info Simon, my now unloved Behringer is a Xenyx Q502 purchased late November 2017.
From memory the "manual" that came with it suggested that it could have inadequate phantom power.
Condenser mics are Neewer NW700 & NW800 SDC and Behringer C3 LDC, definitely at the budget end but far superior definition for recording than the Sennheiser and Shure mics we have, I would love a nice Rode or Neumann or two but they are definitely not pensioner friendly.
Edited. to fix mic names & models
