This Versatile Condenser Is a True 5-tool Player

The Studio Projects CS5 condenser microphone gives you the accuracy and richness of a large-diaphragm mic, plus multiple pickup patterns for a stunning array of applications. The CS5 can handle high SPLs, making it ideal for close-miking in the studio, but it also excels at capturing vocals and even works well as an overhead. The mic's five polar patterns, four high-pass filters, and four low-pass filters give it an amazing range of recording possibilities. If you need a true "go-to" player for your pro, project, or home studio, the CS5 is definitely worth a look!





Studio Projects CS5 Multi-pattern Large-diaphragm Condenser Microphone at a Glance:

• Quality construction
  
• Built-in flexibility
  
• Amazingly versatile

Quality construction
The Studio Projects CS5 is an externally polarized five pattern pressure gradient transducer microphones with FET impedance converter. The capsule is a 1.06” (27mm) capsule, with a diaphragm thinkness of 6microm. It features a streamlined body, "lollipop"-style capsule, and extremely low noise, allowing you to record with great accuracy and detail.

Built-in flexibility
The CS5 is well-equipped to handle virtually any recording application. Its large-diaphragm design gives you a full-bodied sound, but built-in low- and high-pass filters let you tailor the mic's response to your needs. This mic even includes an adjustable pad, from 5dB to 20dB. Need to close mic an instrument or cabinet? The CS5 can handle high SPLs, so you can get close up with clarity.

A true "go-to" microphone
Whether you're recording loud instrument sources, capturing vocals for broadcast or in the recording studio, or even searching out that perfect addition to your stereo mic setup, you can't go wrong with the CS5. Its selectable pickup patterns include cardioid, wide cardioid, hypercardioid, omni, and figure 8. You won't see many large-diaphragm condensers that perform equally well close to snares and high overhead. The CS5 is virtually an entire mic locker in one unit!
