The CX-516 is a high-quality, miniature unidirectional condenser microphone designed for studio recording, broadcasting, and sound reinforcement. Its wide frequency response and low noise characteristics have made it a standard for use with acoustic string instruments: violins, cellos, as well as woodwind instruments, accordion, and organ (Leslie) cabinets. The tailored sound characteristics and superb transient response allows detailed transparent reproduction of the sound source. The mini flexible goose neck design provides quick pinpoint miking via the built in mounting clip. Newly added spider suspension isolates unwanted mechanical vibration effectively. 9-52 volt phantom power is required for this microphone.
