The CS-3e is compact and lightweight, featuring a low-pass filter switch to meet various demands in both outdoor and studio recording. Its standard 19 mm diameter allows for the use of a wide range of accessories.
- Shotgun microphone for outdoor and studio recordings with exceptional off-axis rejection
- Highly precise and sharp directional pattern
- Optimized for vocal characteristics
The CS-3e virtually eliminates the proximity effect while maintaining a sharp directional pattern, with consistent sound characteristics regardless of the distance between the source and the microphone. This is a significant advantage over other shotgun microphones.
Unique combination of Line Mic Array and Second Pressure Gradient Method:
Three directional capsules are arranged in a front-back array, combining the performance of a shotgun microphone with the behavior of a second-order pressure gradient microphone in a single device. This unique design enables the CS-3e to achieve an exceptional supercardioid directional pattern in both the lowest frequencies and across the entire frequency range, all within a microphone that is only 27 cm (10 inches) long.
