Studio Projects CS5 Multi Pattern Condenser Microphone

Studio Projects CS5 Multi Pattern Condenser Microphone

The Studio Projects CS5 is an externally polarized five pattern pressure gradient transducer microphone with FET impedance converter. The capsule is a 1.06” (27mm) capsule, with a diaphragm thinkness of 6µm. It features five selectable polar patterns, four selectable pads, four high pass filters, and four low pass filters for added control in various recording applications and a clear, full response expected from a large capsule microphone design.

Versatility is key in the recording arena, and the Studio Projects CS5 is well equiped to handle any recording application. It is designed to deliver the finest quality vocal and instrumental recordings and will serve to enhance any professional or project studio.
