This cardioid microphone, with its main axis along its side is designed for the very closest speech pickup, i.e. directly in front of the speaker's mouth. Its low-frequency rolloff is compensated by proximity effect. Thus it has (up to the point of its high-frequency emphasis) a flat frequency response for the speaker's voice, while showing a rolloff at low frequencies for all sound that originates from a greater distance. As a result, background sounds are picked up less strongly than the person speaking.

Except for the proximity correction this mic is the same as the CCM 4 V.

FEATURES:

• cardioid pattern, side-adressed
• for pickup of speech or music at close range (under 20cm)
• moderate low frequency attenuation
• preferred applications: close speech pickup, also available in the HSC 4VP headset
