The Wunder Audio CM50 Tube Condenser Microphone comes with a small omnidirectional transducer mounted on a 40mm diameter Lucite sphere. Simply one of the most wonderful sounding room mics in the world, the CM50 represents the pinnacle of quality in a revered line of microphones that stretches back to the very earliest days of pro audio. The inspiration is classic, the execution is cutting-edge. Wunder have successfully recreated the small pressure transducer (similar to the capsule for the KM series microphones).

This unique capsule creates a gradual "presence rise" in the microphone's on-axis frequency response. Yielding a rather substantial 8 dB on-axis peak at high frequencies. This affect can be discerned in the midrange and more increasingly so at higher frequencies. There is relatively no effect at low frequencies since the sphere is smaller than low frequency wavelengths.

These effects enable the CM50 to be placed at considerably greater distances from the sound source than regular omni mics thus picking up more ambiance in the lows and midrange while maintaining focus in the "air" region and at higher frequencies. The result is a stunningly clear recording ordinarily not possible at these distances.

The CM 50 can be placed far enough from the source that the distances to the nearest and farthest instruments will be perceived exactly as an audience experiences them, where the relative loudness, arrival time and the clarity of the instruments will be in precise balance with each other.
