Pearl CB 22 Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

The bidirectional CB 22 features low self noise and a smooth off-axis response. It is perfect as part of a Blumlein or M-S stereo setup.

Compact and well built, the Pearl 22 series are outstanding condenser microphones constructed around the 2800 rectangular capsule and a low-noise amplifier. There are currently three different versions: the cardioid CC 22, the bidirectional CB 22 and the omnidirectional CO 22.

The detailed transient reproduction and smooth off-axis response makes the 22 series an excellent choice for orchestral and choral recordings, but it is just as perfect for other transient-rich sources, such as acoustic guitar or piano.

The bidirectional, natural sounding CB 22 is ideal as part of a stereo pair. Combine two CB 22’s for Blumlein stereo, or pair the CB 22 with a cardioid microphone for an M-S stereo setup.

The CB 22 is finished in piano black ED lacquer with a red logo, ring and engraved model number.
