C4
Common name: Studio Projects C4
Production Status: Discontinued / Vintage
The C4 is a small diaphragm condenser design with interchangeable capsules. Both cardioid (CC1) and omni OC1) versions are provided. The preamplifier uses linear low-noise solid-state electronics. In cardioid mode it makes a useful overhead drum microphone – a pair are excellent for XY or ORTF. In omni mode the freedom from proximity effect favours close-miking of instruments and recording of room ambience.
