Rycote CA-08 Cardioid Microphone - RYC079003
The Rycote CA-08 is a cardioid pencil condenser microphone designed for a range of applications in studio and field recording.
The CA-08 microphones provide slight directionality with a virtually flat frequency response from 70Hz-20KHz, gradually dropping off below 60Hz. The mics are built on Rycote’s low self-noise preamp design and capsules which offer a consistent sonic signature that mixes well when cut together with other Rycote microphones in the range. The CA-08 mics can be used individually or in matched stereo pairs.
SC-08
Sharing the same core pre-amplifier electronics, the SC-08 (Super-cardioid) is the same as the shotguns in terms of performance but with a narrower polar pattern than the CA-08. This is a favourite for many as a vocal mic for dialogue and especially for interior recording
Applications
Great for Docu-series with sit-down interviews, Cinema, and TV.
Can also be used on organs or acoustic instruments as well (strings family).
