Overview

Vintage studio sound with the clean, clear sound needed for digital recording.

The Electro-Harmonix EH-C5 FET Condenser Microphone uses a dual-diaphragm EH-TM capsule but with a different head and body construction than the EH-C@ model. The vertical, double-sided open position of the capsule and preamplifier design are designed to work with numerous sound sources to maximum effect.

As a result the EH-C5 sounds great with vocals, grand pianos, guitars, and percussion among many other sources, and gives presence and warmth to lead parts in the mix. It walks a fine line by remaining very sensitive yet handling very high SPLs with a low noise floor, allowing straight-to-digital recording with pure sound. Frequency response: 20Hz”20kHz.
Requires phantom power.
