Description
The CAD Audio C98 Cardioid Condenser Gooseneck Instrument Microphone specifically engineered for capturing drums and other acoustic percussion instruments. Its cardioid pickup pattern effectively rejects off-axis sounds, enhancing clarity on noisy stages. The gooseneck design provides optimal positioning even in tight setups, and the included drum rim mount eliminates the need for traditional mic stands. With a wide frequency response of 50 Hz to 20 kHz and a high SPL capability of 140 dB, the C98 ensures accurate and clean sound reproduction, even with high-impact sources. Powered by 48V phantom power, this microphone is a compact, reliable, and professional-grade solution for both live and studio percussion recording.
