Frequently Asked Questions

The wider acceptance angle captures more of the room ambience, which can be desirable for natural-sounding recordings but requires careful mic placement and potentially acoustic treatment.
The CMC6 preamps are modular and can be serviced or upgraded, though this is a specialized process best left to qualified technicians.
Rooms with a relatively even frequency response and minimal reflections work best; overly reverberant spaces will be difficult to manage effectively with the wide cardioid pattern.
