CMS-10
Stereo Mono Switchable Shotgun Microphone for Camera
・ Switchable very sharp mono-shotgun and stereo microphone
・ Very short length (210.5mm) and light weight (170g)
・ Using PPS diaphragms, it maintains high durability and quality even in high humidity environments
・ By use of a specially designed suspension holder, it can isolate camera motor noise in camera mount use
・ Basic design is M-S, but includes M-S to L-R circuitry, and allows a direct L-R signal
The CMS-10 provides extremely high-resolution audio to match today’s advanced picture quality. This versatile
microphone is switchable between a very sharp directional Mono and rich Stereo in environmental imaging.
Unlike conventional shotgun microphones, the CMS-10 uses a unique second-order pressure gradient design,
enabling precision directional response through multiple cardioid elements in a front-back array. The capsules
combine line microphone performance and second-order gradient response in a single compact system.
Stereophonic localization depends primarily on signal accuracy and channel separation in the 400Hz to 3kHz range.
Pattern control of the CMS-10 has been optimized in this range. Very low and very high frequency response has been
optimized along the frontal axis so that the "target" on-axis sounds are clearly delineated.
