GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The CM12C is a miniature hanging condenser
microphone which can placed over an orchestra, choir
or sound stage, and with its minimal profile, is mostly
undetectable from even a slight distance. The CM12C
features a permanently charged condenser element
with a cardioid pickup pattern. The microphone
exhibits excellent rear rejection providing maximum
gain before feedback. The CM12C includes a steel
hanger that allows the microphone to be pointed,
and fixed, towards the position of the sound source.
The microphone is supplied with a 30 foot cable
terminating in a mini female XLR which connects to
the included, PM5 power module with standard male
XLR connector. The CM12C operates on standard 9
through 52 Volt phantom power supply. A multi-stage
pop filter is also included. The microphone element
is protected by a rugged metal housing and the entire
microphone has a low reflectance, matte black finish.
