A Yamaha Studio Mic Continuing the "True Sound" Philosophy
With the YCM705, Yamaha expands its ecosystem dedicated to home and studio audio creation, alongside the HS series studio monitors, HPH-MT series headphones, and YDM series dynamic microphones. The goal is clear: to offer faithful and usable capture, consistent with the "True Sound" philosophy, so that the voice, instrument, and intention are reproduced accurately rather than artificially "enhanced."
Its design features curves inspired by a wind instrument, while the metal construction and matte finish reinforce the feeling of serious equipment, built to last and integrate neatly into a production, streaming, or shooting setup.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
The Yamaha YCM705 is aimed at musicians, podcasters, content creators, and home studios looking to step up in definition and presence. Its cardioid pattern makes it an excellent choice when recording in an untreated room, focusing on the main source (voice, acoustic guitar, amp, percussion) while reducing ambient sound captured from the sides and rear.
In music production, it targets clean takes that are easy to place in the mix: lead vocals, backing vocals, acoustic guitar, wind instruments, strings, and percussive overdubs. In streaming and video, it delivers superior articulation and better detail clarity, especially useful for spoken and sung voices.

Questions frequently asked
Is the Yamaha YCM705 suitable for recording vocals in a home studio?
Its cardioid polar pattern favors vocals in front of the capsule and reduces the capture of sounds from the sides and rear. The high-pass filter adjustable at 80 or 160 Hz helps attenuate vibrations and excessive low frequencies. The included pop filter limits plosives during close-up recordings.
What type of connection does this microphone use?
The XLR output allows connection to an audio interface or a compatible microphone preamplifier.
Can it record an amp or percussion without distortion?
The switchable attenuator 0/-10/-20 dB reduces the input level before the preamp for powerful sources. With the -20 dB PAD, the maximum SPL input reaches 140 dB and the dynamic range is 128 dB.
What accessories are included with the microphone?
The package includes a pop filter, shock mount, and carrying case. The shock mount limits the transmission of vibrations related to the mic stand and handling.
What is the capsule of the YCM705 Black?
This model features a condenser capsule with two large 1-inch diaphragms. Its frequency response ranges from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
