Digital music gear leans closely in direction of type dictated by operate, with just a few outliers displaying excessive notes of design. Teen approach, the Swedish client electronics firm based in 2005 by Jesper Kouthoofd, David Eriksson, Jens Rudberg and David Möllerstedt and based mostly in Stockholm, is the exception(s) slightly than the rule with regards to design. The elegantly trendy CM-15 moveable microphone represents the model’s supreme consideration to particulars that meet wants far past operate.
With a case concerning the measurement and form of a deck of playing cards, the CM-15 lives as much as its moveable identify, characterised by its easy controls and intentionally sparse controls. The sum of the machined minimalism is oh-so-Dieter Rams, a very deliberate modernist impact. From a use case perspective, the utility of the tiny microphone is geared toward discipline manufacturing, movie recording, interviews and podcasts, vocal recording and instrumental recording – the world’s “first all-in-1 microphone providing”.
Do not let the CM-15’s pocket measurement idiot you. Inside is a 1-inch diaphragm condenser capsule, a uncommon moveable recording gadget and an addition that leads to larger sound depth with none noise.
Whereas there is a built-in tabletop stand, Teenage Engineering’s personal mini tripod is not included. A 1/4-inch and three/8-inch tilt adapter permits the CM-15 to work with any appropriate microphone stand or stand.
Like many of the Teenage Engineering catalog, the CM-15 microphone provides a major design premium to its price ticket – $1,200. That will appear stratospheric, however we would not be shocked if the Swedish firm sells out of this mighty mite of a microphone scheduled for a June launch.
