Compact and highly efficient at reducing self-noise, the Rycote CA-08 Small-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone proves to be a top-notch pencil microphone suitable for professional use. Boasting a cardioid pickup pattern and a remarkably even frequency response, this versatile mic utilizes a lightweight aluminium capsule housing a back electret condenser transducer, providing precise and detailed audio reproduction. Its portability and compatibility with various studio or field setups make it an ideal choice for musicians and sound engineers.
With its advanced low-noise circuitry, the CA-08 incorporates a corrosion-resistant brass preamp, active RF filtering circuitry, and finely-tuned mechanical RF shielding. These features contribute to its exceptional performance and durability. The inclusion of a gold-plated Neutrik XLR connector not only aids in minimising interference but also ensures long-lasting and reliable functionality in even the most challenging usage scenarios. Additionally, the microphone is accompanied by a practical hard case, a mic clip, and a foam windscreen, facilitating safe transportation to and from recording sessions.
