CM–15 field microphone overview

introducing CM–15 field microphone, our ultra-portable pro microphone that features a built-in pre-amp, integrated audio converter, 3.5 mm jack and a 48 v phantom powered mini xlr. here our electronic engineer, alberto, introduces its hardware and basic functionality, with all sound captured on CM–15 itself.

Since a longer time I've been searching for a good mic that provides a line signal output. I've immediately read in the online manual if the CM-15 has a line signal output and yes it has. I can connect the CM-15 to various samplers or eurorack modules without needing a preamp or a mixing board. For me that's fantastic.

Il ciao mamma di Alberto mi ha sciolto il cuore, sempre bello vedere che dietro a ottimi progetti ci stanno giovani menti italiane.
Grande Alberto continua a fare grandi cose🫶🏻🙌🏻

This mic is beautiful and compact. What a powerhouse of a mic wow!

[XanderEwald]

Despite this being out of my budget range, I like how the field series gradually grows into a complete ecosystem. I imagine headphones or speakers are in the pipeline as well. Maybe even a drum machine?

Ohh it looks sooo sleek! Some serious design going on here! 🔥🙌🏼

[Khordmaster]

this looks remarkable! congratulations on a successful reveal 🔥

A $1200 product that gives you the results you could get with an everyday phone. Listen guys, I know in terms of reputation, becoming a luxury brand sounds enticing but in reality you will only be alienating the target demographic you are trying to sell too... and thats musicians. A target demographic that tends to find themselves making other people rich (especially the companies they work for or purchase from) but aren't rich themselves. Basic economics tells you that the more accessible an item the more you will see in sales meaning the average luxury brand sales wishes they could see the profits made by a company that makes its products affordable to everyone... I genuinely love the engineers at Teenage engineering but to see them be used to sell hype merch... is disappointing.

looks great, LOVE THE DESIGN. reminds me of some Dieter Rams Designs for Braun. very clean, mininal with great proportions 🤩🤩

[LukeLine]

Love the retro look, scared to see the price 😮‍💨

[spookypen]

You guys are nuts, in both the good way and bad way.

[douglasdollars]

I appreciate the integrity of recording this with the CM-15!

[JimmyOnInOne]

What happens when the Battery become DEAD DEAD... you make it easy to swap out or do we throw away the mic?

Ciao mamma di Roberto, hai fatto un bravo ingegnere

[GlitchComputer]

Charming fellow that one! Oh and I love the mic too.

What is the sensitivity of this microphone? 14db noise for LDC - it's not that noisy, but not good enough for quiet recordings...
Is your voice recorded on this mic at this video? if yes, then it sounds like a cheap condenser microphone.
USB SNR dBA FS: 120 dB - that's very noisy preamp. Even old cheap zoom h4 has better noise floor in it's mic pre's.

Is there any windscreen included?
how to use it in the field without it? does it have some kind of suspension for catch a vibrations?
Who is this microphone for?
portability?
There are many small microphones on the market.
If you have $1200 you can afford a portable recorder and 2 condenser SDC mics and that will sound better and give more features and functions) I'd rather buy any of the dozens of excellent microphone models for that kind of money. Schoeps CMC1 mk41 costs 1.4-1.5k, sennheiser mkh8050 costs 1.3k. Line audio cm4 - 120 eur. Oh
Guys, I'm really impressed with your marketing talent. You can even sell a donut hole.

I would buy something like this for less than $250 like other cheap/mid range usb mics.

I just got this, and it is dope, but I’m finding the gain settings all really weak. Even on the highest gain setting with medium distance, the sound is still so faint. Something won’t with my unit or this is expected?

[saysthetedd]

Can not wait to pair this with my ER-301!

[JoKerTheFirst]

And the best comment for the price point goes to ...

[PodmarkSL]

Ciau Alberto. When can we expect to get the tripod and a mic clamp that doesnt make the mic fall over every time you try to set it up? And question: Shockmount anyone? Thxxx

Does the CM–15 field work with the EP-133 K.O.II digitally?
