Sanken CUB-01-B - cardioid microphone with preamp (white)

This microphone is very attractive, given its small size of 32.5 mm diameter, 14 mm height and 45 g weight. It is ideally suited to tabletop, dashboard or car mounting.

The wired version presented here features double the sensitivity (increased gain of more than 6dB) of the pigtail version (PT), and the box also incorporates a phantom power supply adapter that can be connected to an external power supply.

High-quality miniature cardioid microphone

Features an all-new design - a Sanken original - that goes beyond the limits of previous microphone models, producing extremely rich sound in a much smaller package.

The CUB - 01 is designed for use in a wide range of situations, such as film and TV production on set or on location, in a conference room or on a podium. Particularly effective in a car, this microphone has become a favorite among production professionals.

Thanks to Sanken's advanced technology, the CUB-01 features a unique square-shaped cardioid capsule. This patented design considerably enlarges the effective diaphragm area, resulting in a contour microphone with a rich, natural sound and a flat response to 70Hz.

The CUB-01 is presented with an XLR3 phantom connector.

A totally new concept in cardioid microphones

With the CUB-01, it's now possible to capture full, clear sound. Narration and dialogue are clearly captured while excluding unnecessary background noise. Sanken's revolutionary design has also eliminated the need for an acoustic construction to create a cardioid polar pattern.

Designed for use in a wide range of situations, from TV and film shoots to studio production and the conference table, the CUB-01 departs from the common perimeter mic design that usually requires a large, heavy plate.

Because of its size, it's easy to hide behind the camera and can be positioned in a variety of environments - for example, fixed to the ceiling of a car with adhesive tape on both sides.

The CUB-01 is available in gray or beige and in two versions: the standard high-performance CUB-01 version, which operates on 48 volts phantom power, and the CUB-01-PT version, which operates between 3 and 10 VDC for wireless applications.
