Pearl ELM-C Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone

Rectangular Capsule Design for Natural Sound and Versatile Recording

The Pearl ELM-C is a large-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone featuring a unique rectangular capsule design. Unlike conventional round microphone capsules, the rectangular shape minimizes resonances, resulting in a more natural and uncolored sound, a feature appreciated by audio engineers.

Rectangular Capsule Advantages

Pearl's rectangular capsule, with an extreme 7:1 length-to-width ratio, produces a cardioid polar pattern in the horizontal plane while effectively reducing high frequencies in the vertical axis. This design is particularly beneficial for isolating sound sources from floor and ceiling reflections, making it a versatile choice for various recording scenarios.

Stereo Recording Options

The ELM-C can be used in an MS stereo setup, paired with a figure-of-eight microphone like the Pearl ELM-B, or as a pair for XY stereo recordings, providing flexibility in capturing stereo soundscapes.

Elegant Design

Finished in piano black ED lacquer with a distinctive yellow logo, ring, and engraved model number, the ELM-C not only sounds great but also looks stylish in your recording setup.
