The CK-6 Classic microphone is not just a tool, but a statement of class and quality, both visually and sonically. Its design and performance can be favorably compared to high-end studio-standard FET mics, yet it's available at a much more accessible price point.

This versatile microphone is engineered to deliver professional results with a clean sonic character.

With its large diaphragm size and cardioid polar pattern, the CK-6 Classic Large Capsule Cardioid FET Condenser Microphone is your go-to choice for capturing detailed, accurate, and noise-isolated sound.
