Instrument Microphones

The JTS CX-516 is a high-quality, miniature unidirectional condenser microphone designed for studio recording, broadcasting, and sound reinforcement. Its wide frequency response and low noise characteristics have made it a standard for use with acoustic string instruments: violins, cellos, as well as woodwind instruments, accordion, and organ (Leslie) cabinets. The tailored sound characteristics, superb transient response allows detailed transparent reproduction of the sound source. The mini flexible gooseneck design provides quick pinpoint miking via the built in mounting clip.

The e 614 is a super-cardioid condenser microphone, designed for demanding instrument recordings and performances that require extended frequency response, high SPL handling, fast transient response and compact size. While drumset overhead miking was the first design priority, the e614 also works exceptionally well on percussion setups as well, fitting comfortably into tight setups. The e 614 can handle high SPLs and features medium sensitivity, which ensures reduced bleed from other instruments on stage. Because of its excellent acoustic properties, this mic is also ideal for home recording.

• 40-20,000 Hz
• Designed for demanding applications where extended frequency range, high SPL handling, fast transient response and small size are required 
• Captures the shimmer and the contact of sticks, mallets and hands
• Nearly flat response from 40 Hz to 20 kHz and a supercardioid pattern

Designed for musicians and performers who need great audio quality on a budget, the M7 is an ideal all-around recording solution for entry-level podcasters, singers, and musicians. The M7 boasts a warm frequency response that flatters the human voice. And thanks to the M7's cardioid polar pattern, the M7 will brilliantly record the sounds you point it at, while downplaying the sounds you don't. Last but not least, the M7 can rock hard when asked: Its 134 dB of SPL handling lets it wrangle loud instruments like cracking snare drums or electric guitar amps worry-free, something more expensive mics can't always do.

A hard mount, carrying case, and 10-foot XLR cable round out the M7 package, so you're ready to start producing right out of the box!

• Professional condenser microphone at an unbeatable price
• Great choice for recording vocals, guitar, podcasts, and more
• Exceptional clarity throughout its frequency-response range, with a warm top end
• Cardioid polar pattern
• Side address
• Hard stand mount, 10' XLR cable, and carry case included
