The main purpose of the C98 microphone is to capture the sound of percussion instruments such as drums, cymbals, and other acoustic percussive instruments. Its design and features are optimized for this purpose.
The cardioid polar pattern in the C98 microphone provides off-axis rejection. This means it is designed to pick up sound from the front and sides while minimizing sound from the rear. This is crucial for on-stage clarity and reducing unwanted background noise.
The included rim mount allows the C98 microphone to be securely attached to the edge of a drum or other percussion instrument. This provides a stable position for the microphone, allows for easier and more precise placement, and eliminates the need for additional mic stands.
The C98 microphone can be used with a wide range of percussion instruments. These include but are not limited to Toms, Conga, Bongo, Djembe, Timbale, Cajon, Tabla, and Frame Drum.
Low noise refers to the microphone's ability to minimize unwanted ambient sounds. High SPL (Sound Pressure Level) means the microphone can handle high volume levels without distortion, providing clean and clear sound reproduction.
