It was a pair of CEMC6 pencil mics that let us know that John Peluso was on to something, and led us to contact Peluso Labs about adding the Peluso line of microphones at Sound Pure. After spending over two years testing and using over 50 different brand's pairs [ nearly every pair currently on the market ] of small condenser microphones, we found that while many of the less expensive microphones did give surprising quality for the money, none of them approached the performance of the higher priced small condenser mics. Other than the Josephson C42, no other small condenser microphone, besides the Peluso CEMC6, offers this level of performance and detail for under $1000 per pair. Yeh, they're that good. The Peluso CEMC6 delivers natural, uncolored sound that is detailed with beautiful imagery. The CEMC6 excels on acoustic instruments, such as guitar, piano and percussion, and as an ORTF or X/Y pair for stereo recordings of ensembles, choirs and other live music events. Hey, Tapers, have we gotta mic for you! Interchangeable and optional omni, and hypercardioid capsules make these mics a killer deal if you want get into a serious small condenser mic for an affordable price.

All of our CEMC6 pairs are factory matched and come stock with cardioid capsules.

Optional capsules available:

Peluso CK-2 Omni Capsule

Peluso CK-21 Wide/Sub Cardioid Capsule

Peluso CK-41 Super/Hyper Cardioid Capsule

General Characteristics: This microphone has a 20 millimeter gold-sputtered diaphragm and a fixed cardioid pickup. Solid State Condenser microphones are very sensitive, capable of producing very subtle sonic details. They also pick up sounds outside the pattern, which can lead to powerful feedback. We strongly advise experimentation with placement and isolation with the gain initially set low to avoid equipment damage.

Power Requirements: Important - This unit requires phantom power at 48 volts, +/- 4 volts. . Each unit has been thoroughly checked before shipping, so if you hear no sound, check the cables, and that the phantom power on your mixer or separate power supply is switched on.

Microphone Cables: The microphone cable can have a profound effect on the sound of any microphone. Even the finest microphones will sound poor if the interconnect cable allows noise to enter, or causes distortion and degradation of sound. Use only the best microphone cable to obtain the optimum performance from your microphone.

Care Dust and foreign material can degrade the performance of a microphone over time, so always store the unit in its case. Remove fingerprints from the exterior with a camp soft cloth.
