General

A rare beast in the land of field recording, the Teenage Engineering CM-15 brings the rich results of a large-diaphragm condenser microphone but packs it all away in a sleek and compact, battery-powered box. And in true Teenage Engineering style, this microphone really does come in a box - a box that looks like no condenser microphone you've ever seen before. You can also do more with it, like take it on location, hook it up to a field recorder and capture the quality of audio you should only get in a studio. The CM-15 features a large, 1 inch diaphragm, the performance of which outstrips the built-in microphone that comes with most field recorders by keeping the frequency response flat and consistent, essentially kitting you out with a studio microphone that's built for the field.

The Teenage Engineering CM-15: The Details

The CM-15 microphone can be hooked up to a computer or laptop via the built-in USB-C interface, can be hooked up to pro-audio equipment and recorders via XLR and, while battery-powered, is also fully compatible with standard +48V phantom power. The This ultra-focussed, supercardioid condenser mic already comes fitted with a space-saving mini-XLR output, but also comes including a mini-XLR to XLR adapter and that's alongside a USB-C cable and a tilting stand adapter so it can be used for an array of applications, whether working at home, in the studio or in its natural habitat, on location.

Teenage Engineering CM-15 Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone (USB/Mini-XLR/Mini-Jack)

Comparing - just on a whim - teenage engineering's slim, pocket-mic CM-15s with thousand-pound-plus Brauner VM1, Wunder CM7-S, Townsend/Sphere L22 versus an original Neumann U47, I found that the CM-15 mics have the 'punch' and low-frequency 'density' of the U47 far more than any of the others! ..They don't quite have the DETAIL of the VM1, and they have a broader pickup pattern than the others, so a pair of them for stereo may blend left and right a bit - depends on how far apart they are - but the overall performance was the nearest to the U47 of all the others which attempt to use a similar capsule, valve/'tube', headbasket and transformer as the old U47.

The CM-15 mic is engineered from a different perspective: to get the best possible sound, and with a built-in pre-amp, built-in battery & phantom power, XLR, 3.5mm and USB-C outputs, and smallest size ..and INCIDENTALLY being the closest to a U47 or anything I've yet heard.

What a bargain! - No power supply needed, no phantom needed, two extra stages of gain built-in, and just slip in your pocket. Buy two for stereo!
