About Takstar cm-60

The Takstar CM-60 is a small-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone designed for various recording applications, including instrument recording, studio sessions, and live performances.

Key Features:

• Cardioid Polar Pattern: Takstar CM-60 Effectively captures sound from the front while minimizing noise from the sides and rear, enhancing isolation of the desired sound source.
• Wide Frequency Response: Spanning 30Hz to 20kHz, it ensures accurate reproduction of both low and high frequencies.
• High Sensitivity and Low Self-Noise: With a sensitivity of -38dB ± 2dB and an equivalent noise level of ≤20dB A, the CM-60 delivers clear and detailed audio recordings.
• High SPL Handling: Capable of handling sound pressure levels up to 130dB without distortion, making it suitable for recording loud instruments.
• Built-in Bass Filter: An optional bass filter at 100Hz with a 12dB/octave roll-off helps eliminate unwanted low-frequency noise.
• Gold-Plated Diaphragm: Enhances conductivity and durability, contributing to improved sound quality.
• Phantom Power Requirement: Operates on 48V DC phantom power, common in professional audio equipment.
