Studio Projects C4 Small Diaphram Condenser Microphones
In stock right now!
The C4 is small diaphragm condenser
microphone featuring interchangeable capsules, switchable -10dB
pad/high pass filter and a linear low-noise, solid state amplifier
body. The microphone’s modularity makes it a useful multi-purpose tool
intended for all-around use on stage, on location and in studios of all
caliber.
As
a cardioid (pressure gradient) microphone, the C4 provides excellent
pickup of on-axis sources while attenuating extraneous sound occurring
from around and behind the mic. This makes it ideal for close miking of
individual instruments where bleed from other nearby instruments or
sound is undesirable. The C4 cardioids also make excellent stereo pairs
for coincident and near-coincident miking techniques such as X-Y and
ORTF. Additionally the C4’s are quite useful on a drum kit as overheads
and on toms.
Used as an omni-directional (pressure) microphone, the C4 offers a warm
tonal response and is recommended especially for close miking in
favorable acoustical environments. There is very little off axis
coloration owing to the inherent physical properties of pressure
capsules, and it is this - combined with the low self-noise of the mic
amplifier that makes the C4 omni an excellent ambience mic –especially
in pairs. In a good room, a pair of omni’s can provide a vibrant and
live feel to recordings, which is not achievable through the use of
directional microphones.
Recommended uses are, spaced pair omni, Jecklin disc (OSS), piano,
guitar, drum overheads and room miking. The C4 is available in pairs
with shockmounts, windscreens and case
