Sanken Cms9lr Condensor Microphone
Product Info
The CMS-9 is the L-R Stereo signal output version of the CMS-7s. This mic includes M-S to L-R signal circuitry within the body, and the sound characteristics are almost identical with the CMS-7s. This mic accepts a maximum SPL of up to 130dB.
The Sanken CMS-9 is a lightweight M-S stereo condenser microphone ideal for all studio and field recording applications. Its unique design features an internal "Mid-Side" sum and difference processing circuit which, by eliminating the need for an external matrix box, makes the mic extremely mobile and easy to handle.
The CMS-9 outputs fixed stereo signals which can be input directly to a field recorder or other portable machines equipped with L-R inputs and 48V phantom power. Its unique two-layer windscreen and solid construction assure quiet recording, even in difficult outdoor environments where wind and handling noises can be a problem.
The CMS-9 features a one-micron thick titanium diaphragm that is light, strong, corrosion-free and immune to temperature and humidity changes. It uses the same capsules as Sanken's CMS-7 MS Stereo Mic.
