The SANKEN CUB-01 offers an exclusive design which overcomes the limitations of previous boundary microphones,
producing an extremely rich and full-bodied sound. Although small (32.5mm diameter, 14mm height, 45g weight) the
sound is comparable with much larger microphones. The CUB-01 is designed for use in many situations, from TV and
film field shooting to broadcast studio production and conference table recording. Because of its small size it is easy to
conceal from the camera, and can be positioned in a variety of environments, for example, attached to the ceiling of a ca
with two-sided sticky tape.

Using Sanken's advanced technology, the CUB-01 has a unique square-shaped capsule housing the diaphragm. With this
proprietary design, the effective area of the diaphragm is sig nificantly enlarge d. Due to the CUB-01's c ardioid directional
characteristics, human narration and dialogue are clearly recorded while eliminating unnecessary background noise. The
CUB-01 is available in gray or beige. The Sanken CUB-01 offers a totally new design that overcomes the limitations o
previous boundary microphones. Generally speaking, most boundary microphones have almost the same sound
characteristics, heard as "thin," "solid," and "metallic. " Using Sanken's advanced technology, the CUB-01 has resolved this
problem with its unique square-shaped cardioid capsule. This proprietary design significant l y enlarges the effective area o
the diaphragm, resulting in a boundary microphone whose sound is rich and natural, with a flat response to 70Hz. Now it is
possible to capture a "full bodied" and "clear" sound - human narration and dialogue are clearly caught while excluding
unnecessary background noise.
