CCM 5
– mechanically switchable single-
diaphragm microphone (omni/ car-
dioid)
– smoother, more extended high-fre-
quency response than most other
multi-pattern microphones
(e.g. dual-diaphragm capsules of
other manufacturers)
– slightly brighter than the CCM 2H
(omni) or CCM 4 (cardioid)
– a pure pressure transducer when in
the ”omni” setting (flat, extended
low-frequency response without
proximity effect or undue sensitivity
to wind or solid-borne sound)
Uses:
preferred uses similar to those of the
CCM 2 or CCM 2S and the CCM 4:
In the cardioid setting: for use with
singing or speak ing voices or most
instruments, as a spot micro phone,
and for stereo recording with coinci-
dent, ORTF or M/S microphone
arrangements.
In the omnidirectional setting: for
recording instruments, singers, etc.
at relatively close range
