Teenage Engineering CM-15 Field Condenser Microphone (Black)

Pro-Quality Sound Anywhere — CM-15 Field Condenser Microphone.

The CM-15 is a studio-quality, large-diaphragm condenser microphone designed for creators who demand pro-level sound — whether in a studio, on location, or on the go. As ultra-portable as it is powerful, this microphone combines a large 1″ diaphragm capsule with a high-fidelity built-in converter and preamp to deliver rich, clean, and natural audio in nearly any recording environment.

Key Features & Benefits

• Large-diaphragm condenser in a pocket-size body — The 1-inch capsule gives you the clarity, depth, and dynamic range typically reserved for full-size studio microphones.
• ESS Sabre analog-to-digital converter + built-in preamp — Captures high-fidelity sound with exceptional detail, minimizing noise and preserving nuance.
• Triple simultaneous output: mini-XLR, 3.5 mm line out, and USB-C — Connect directly to audio interfaces, cameras, computers, or portable recorders — no extra adapters or gear needed.
• Flexible power options: phantom power, USB-C, or internal rechargeable battery (≈ 10 hrs) — Perfect for field recording, travel, interviews, on-site vocals, or outdoor sessions.
• Supercardioid polar pattern — Focuses on sound in front of the mic while rejecting ambient noise, ideal for vocals, interviews, instruments, and location sound.
• Three analog gain settings (pad/gain switch: –18 dB / 0 dB / +18 dB) — Gives you flexibility to capture anything from soft whispers to loud drums.
• Compact, lightweight, and mountable — At just 132 g and around 90 × 65.5 × 19 mm, CM-15 includes a built-in stand and adapters (¼″ & ⅜″), making it easy to mount on standard mic stands, tripods, or use on a desktop

Ideal Use Cases

• The CM-15 shines in a wide variety of settings:
• Studio vocals & instruments: Great for singers, acoustic guitars, piano, or full-band overdubs.
• Podcasting / voice-over / interviews: Its clean, transparent sonic character and supercardioid pickup make dialogue crisp and focused.
• Field recording / field production: Battery power + portable form factor make it a strong choice for on-location sessions, field interviews, or ambient/footage sound.
• Content creation / video shooting: Use the 3.5 mm or USB-C outputs to record high-quality audio directly into cameras or laptops — no extra interface required.

What’s in the Box

• CM-15 microphone
• Mini-XLR to XLR cable
• USB-C cable
• Stand adapter (¼″ & ⅜″) for tripod or mic stand mounting
• Protective pouch and reusable storage box

Why CM-15 Stands Out

Where many condenser microphones sacrifice portability for sound quality — or vice versa — CM-15 delivers both. It’s one of the rare large-diaphragm condenser mics that truly balances portability, connectivity, and pro-grade sound. Whether you’re tracking vocals in a studio, podcasting on the go, or capturing ambient sound in the field, CM-15 adapts seamlessly.

For audio creators who need superb sound quality without the burden of bulky studio gear, CM-15 is a versatile, elegant, and future-proof solution.
