Opis
- omnidirectional pattern
- diffuse-field capsule
- for miking distances at which the predominant sound is no longer direct
- useful for relatively distant placement in reverberant environments – as a room microphone, for “spaced microphone” stereo pickup and in “Decca Tree” arrangements
But when sound arrives from nearby sources in front of the capsule, high frequencies are distinctly accented, leading to a sound image with special brilliance.
Although our normal production tolerances are very close, we can deliver specially matched compact microphone pairs for a small extra charge.
Application
If this type of microphone is used close to the sound source, the emphasis of high frequencies for on-axis sound incidence would become clearly audible, producing an overly brilliant sonic impression.
Since most recording today is miked more closely than in decades past, microphones such as the CCM 2S or CCM 2H are a reasonable norm for the majority of spaced-omni and “Decca Tree” applications. But if miking distances more typical of the mono and early stereo era are to be used, a capsule such as the CCM 3, with its full diffuse-field equalization, may well offer the optimal balance of focus, depth and spaciousness – and the KA 40 accessory spheres can then add a further measure of presence to the sound at such distances, if desired. The CCM 3 is also often used as an ambient room microphone.
Although our normal production tolerances are very close, we can deliver specially matched compact microphone pairs for a small extra charge.
