A new standard for “field” recording in the CM-15 range
Designed as the latest addition to a mobility-focused system, the CM-15 rethinks the studio microphone by integrating it into a complete recording chain. Whereas a large-diaphragm condenser microphone usually requires an interface, a power supply and a fixed setup, this model brings everything together in a pocket-sized format, without compromising on recording essentials (detail, dynamics and noise floor). The result: a hybrid tool that fits equally well into a home-studio setup, a filming rig or a mobile recording system.Who is it for and what can it be used for?
The CM-15 is aimed at musicians, content creators, podcasters and sound engineers looking for a single reference capable of moving from a studio session to recording on the go. In XLR mode, it behaves like a classic studio microphone for vocals, acoustic guitar, overheads or ambient recordings. Via USB-C, it becomes a plug-and-play solution for streaming, video calls, voice-overs and fast production. In standalone battery-powered mode with a line output, it can easily be integrated with a recorder, camera or wireless system depending on your chain.Technical specifications
