CM-700

Common name: Crown International CM-700

Production Status: Discontinued / Vintage

Rugged enough for the road, the CM-700 works equally well for popular music (multi-miking) or classical music (stereo and spot miking). The off-axis response is also smooth, so any leakage picked up has little coloration. It is protected against static and RFI. Several audiophile touches enhance the mic’s pristine sound quality: an ultra-light diaphragm, humbucking transformer, polycarbonate capacitors and a gold-plated 3-pin connector. The CM-700 has a bass tilt switch with three positions: flat, low-cut and roll-off.

Also available is the CM-700MP matched pair that includes two CM-700’s matched to within 1.5dB in level and frequency response.
