CBL99 – Hemi-sphericalThe CBL99 is a ‘hemispherical boundary layer microphone designed to deliver superior results for a multitude of recording applications’, small, lightweight and easy to place. It is ‘extremely small and inconspicuous’, has a ‘studio-quality microphone capsule’, ‘high sensitivity and low self-noise’.The transducer sits in a metal plate only 5mm thick, frequency response is ‘very uniform within its hemisphere’ (when mounted to a surface of sufficient size), and it ‘captures the room sound’ of an instrument ‘very accurately’.Note that since this microphone has a hemi-spherical pattern, it receives sound at an equal level from all directions except through the base of the plate. As a result it could be very useful for a round-table discussion, mounted on the underside of a grand-piano lid or mounted on a wall, but in none of those cases if it is feeding a loudspeaker which is within the range of that hemisphere.The CBL99 requires phantom power. Its output is balanced, via a captive cable terminated with an XLR connector which has an integrated switch for a bass-cut filter. It is a circular, matt black, metal plate with three, countersunk, mounting holes. Three small holes drilled in the centre act as the grille of the transducer.Output connector: 3-pin, male XLR. Applications: Recording voice or instruments. Response: 20Hz-20kHz. Sensitivity: 20mV/Pa. Phantom power: 9-52V DC. Dimensions: 5 x 80 (h x diameter) mm. Weight: 56g without cable.
