Manufacturer's Description from Other

This little microphone has a natural, detailed and balanced response. Perfect for natural reproduction of acoustical instruments such as members of the bowed and plucked string-families, grand piano, brass, percussion, overhead choir and voice - with a minimum of colouration. The linear off axis performance is beneficial with large sound sources and for stereo recording, preserving sound character at an angle.
The CM4 is tough enough to handle drums with full depth and punch, drum overhead clearly and crisp without strain. It also handles amplified instruments well.  A true allround microphone!
It's suitable for professional studio and PA use, with a pricetag at the hobbyist level!
It's very small size (about the same as a normal XLR plug) makes it easy to place, without being in the way. Its size and black colour makes it less visible on stage. Delivered with foam windsheild and microphone clip/holder (3/8" and 5/8").
During manufacturing each capsule is measured, selected, and modified by us to close tolerances. Out of range capsules are rejected. This in combination with the internal circuitry, results in a response with a unique flatness. These are quality microphones made for demanding situations.
The CM4 is the follower of CM3. Designed with the same goal and preferences around a new capsule, tailored to our specifications, using the same circuitry and body. Not surprisingly it ended up sounding very much like the CM3, with a slightly more neutral off axis response and a slightly higher back damping.
