Details

Description
Packaged in a small, rugged, all-metal body,
the C9 cardioid condenser microphone
is designed primarily for overhead drum
miking. The cardioid polar pattern focuses
sensitivity to the front of the microphone
while minimizing sources arriving from the
rear. Transformerless line-driver circuitry
improves transient agility while maintaining
phase alignment for clear detail. The integral
polymer isolation mechanically decouples
the capsule from the body minimizing
acoustical conduction from the floor through
the mic stand. Although designed for drum
overheads, the C9 also excels when used
on classical stringed instruments, acoustic
guitars, and folk instruments.
Shock-isolating swivel mount is included.
P12 (12V), P24 (24V), or P48 (48V) phantom
power is required.
