Frequently Asked Questions

The Cinemag adds a subtle saturation and harmonic richness, making vocals sound more present and 'expensive' without being overtly colored.

At 67 dB, the self-noise is moderate; a decent preamp will easily mask it, but extremely quiet recordings might benefit from a cleaner mic.
