Designed for seamless integration into architectural spaces, this microphone provides a discreet yet powerful solution for recording and reinforcing vocal groups in houses of worship, concert halls, and auditoriums.
Key Details
- Specialized Application: Optimized as a hanging choir microphone to capture natural vocal blends from an elevated position.
- Condenser Technology: Utilizes a condenser capsule for high sensitivity and detailed frequency response, ensuring clarity across the vocal spectrum.
- Discreet Form Factor: Designed to be suspended from ceilings or beams, minimizing visual obstruction while maintaining optimal acoustic proximity to the performers.
- Lightweight Build: Weighing only 0.79 lbs, it allows for easy suspension without putting excessive strain on mounting hardware.
Use Cases
- Church Choirs: Ideal for suspending over choir lofts to capture a cohesive group sound without the need for multiple individual microphones.
- Academic Ensembles: Perfect for university music halls or rehearsal spaces where a clean, overhead capture of a vocal ensemble is required.
- Theater & Stage: Useful for capturing ambient vocals or background choruses in theatrical productions where microphones must remain invisible to the audience.
Installation
The CM12C is designed for overhead deployment. Installation typically involves securing the microphone to a ceiling mount or support beam using appropriate suspension cables or hardware. Due to its lightweight design, it can be positioned precisely to balance the distance between the sound source and the capsule, ensuring a consistent gain level across the ensemble.
Compatibility
As a condenser microphone, the Samson CM12C requires a compatible preamp or mixing console capable of providing Phantom Power (+48V) to operate the internal circuitry. It is compatible with any standard XLR-input audio interface, mixer, or PA system.
