Sanken CUB-01 Pigtail Boundary Microphone (Grey)

Offers a totally new design‐ a Sanken original ‐ which overcomes the limitations of previous boundary microphones, producing an extremely rich and full bodied sound in a much smaller package. Although very small (1.26″ diameter, .5″ tall), and weighing only 1.6oz., the sound is superior to much larger boundary types.

Features

• Clear and rich sound
• Small and easy to conceal unlike other boundary mics
• Wide 60Hz-16kHz frequency response
• Sound energy in the high frequencies is identical with the mid and lows
• Perfect for TV and film field shooting, broadcast studio production and conference table recording
• New Sanken design that overcomes the limitations of previous boundary microphones
• Available in Gray or Beige
• Available with XLR3 connector or Pigtail

The CUB‐01 is designed for use in many situations like film and televison production on set or on location, in a conference room, or on a podium. Especially effective in an automobile, this microphone has become a favorite for production professionals.

Most boundary microphones have almost the same sound characteristics, heard as “thin,” “solid,” and “metallic.” Using Sanken’s advanced technology, the CUB-01 has resolved this problem with its unique square-shaped cardioid capsule. This proprietary design significantly enlarges the effective area of the diaphragm, resulting in a boundary microphone whose sound is rich and natural, with a flat response to 70Hz.

A Totally New Concept in Cardioid Boundary Microphones

With the CUB-01 it is now possible to capture a full bodied and clear sound. Narration and dialogue are clearly caught while excluding unnecessary background noise. Sanken’s revolutionary design has also eliminated the artificial need to overdesign the acoustic construction to create cardioid directivity.

Engineered for use in many situations, from TV and film field shooting to broadcast studio production and conference table recording, the CUB-01 departs from the common design of the boundary mic, which typically requires a large, heavy plate. By comparison, the CUB-01 is unbelievably small (32mm diameter, 12mm height, 45g weight) and light.

Because of its size, it is easy to conceal from the camera, and can be positioned in a variety of environments – for example, attached to the ceiling of a car with two-sided sticky tape. The CUB-01 is available in gray or beige and in two versions – the standard high performance CUB-01 which runs on 48 volt phantom and the CUB-01-PT (pigtail) version. The PT version will operate on 3 to 10 VDC for wireless applications.
