Sanken CUB-01-BE Miniature Cardioid Boundary Microphone, 48V Phantom 3m Cable, XLR3M Connector, Beige

With the CUB-01 it is now possible to capture a full bodied and clear sound. Narration and dialogue are clearly caught while excluding unnecessary background noise. Sanken’s revolutionary design has also eliminated the artificial need to overdesign the acoustic construction to create cardioid directivity.

Engineered for use in many situations, from TV and film field shooting to broadcast studio production and conference table recording, the CUB-01 departs from the common design of the boundary mic, which typically requires a large, heavy plate. By comparison, the CUB-01 is unbelievably small (32mm diameter, 12mm height, 45g weight) and light.

Because of its 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 car with two-sided sticky tape. The CUB-01 is available in gray or beige and in two versions - the standard high performance CUB-01 which runs on 48 volt phantom and the CUB-01-PT (pigtail) version. The PT version will operate on 3 to 10 VDC for wireless applications.
