K&K CXM5 saxophone mic

The CXM5 saxophone microphone is a clip-on sax mic specially designed to deal with the unique challenges of amplifying the saxophone. Its linear sound condenser capsule is suitable for high sound pressure levels, while still transmitting a crystal clear signal. The mic's soft cardioid polar pattern means that the musician can aim the microphone very close to the bell without losing brilliance.

K&K Sound has designed the CXM5 saxophone microphone in a way to ensure that its transmission is free of any mechanical key noises by combining a flexible microphone head suspension, a gel embedded capsule mount, and a cushioned clamp. The specially designed goose neck retains 100% solid positioning.

The supplied CXM5 preamp powers the microphone and features high grade pre-amplification with ultra low-noise circuitry, an active balanced output, and minimum power consumption and a convenient belt-clip. The preamp works on either phantom power or with a 9-volt battery.
