C105 cymbal microphone

Model: C105

The C105 is a compact, pencil-style condenser microphone designed for precise, high-fidelity capture of cymbals, hi-hats, and other high-frequency instruments. Featuring a cardioid polar pattern, the C105 delivers bright, articulate sound with excellent off-axis rejection—ideal for both live sound reinforcement and studio recording.

Its wide frequency response ensures accurate reproduction of shimmering cymbal overtones and string harmonics, while its high sensitivity and low distortion design captures subtle nuances with clarity and detail. The cardioid directivity provides high gain before feedback, making it a reliable choice for close-miking in loud stage environments.

Purpose-built for overhead and spot applications, the C105 is also well-suited for acoustic guitar, orchestral strings, and traditional Eastern instruments.
