Designed with a subminiature condenser capsule, this microphone delivers clean, detailed, and natural sound quality that faithfully reproduces the nuances of string instruments such as violins and guitars, as well as a wide array of other instruments.
The CX-500's frequency response of 20Hz-20kHz ensures a full sonic spectrum is available, making it a versatile tool for recording everything from the deep resonance of a cello to the bright timbre of a mandolin.

Durability and reliability are also hallmarks of the CX-500, which comes equipped with various mount kits to ensure a secure and optimal fit for any instrument. This attention to detail ensures that every trill and subtle vibration of the strings is picked up with precision.
Furthermore, the inclusion of the MA-500 adapter expands the microphone's functionality, allowing for seamless transition between wired and wireless applications. This adaptability makes the CX-500 a reliable choice for both studio recordings and on-stage performances.
