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 White suitable for vocal recording?
Its cardioid pattern favors vocals directly in front of the microphone while reducing side and rear pickup. The adjustable high-pass filter at 80 or 160 Hz helps limit vibrations and proximity effect. The supplied pop filter attenuates plosives.
What type of connectivity does this studio microphone use?
The XLR output requires a recording chain compatible with this connection type.
Can this microphone be used to record an amp or percussion?
The switchable pad of 0, -10, or -20 dB allows level adjustment for loud sources. The input can handle up to 140 dB SPL with the -20 dB pad engaged.
What is the purpose of the 80/160 Hz high-pass filter?
This filter, with a 6 dB per octave slope, reduces unwanted low frequencies caused by footsteps, ventilation, or desk vibrations. Two cutoff frequencies are available: 80 Hz and 160 Hz.
What accessories are included with the YCM705 White?
The kit includes a shock mount, a pop filter, and a carrying case. The shock mount limits the transmission of vibrations to the metal body of the microphone.
