The Sanken CUB-01 Mini Cardioid Boundary Microphone

The Sanken Mini Cardioid Boundary Mic is a huge step forward for audio devices of its kind.  Extremely small and inconspicuous, the CUB-01 can easily be concealed within a set, incorporated into the sound engineering of a broadcast news station, and much more.

The Sanken CUB-01

At a mere 45-gram weight, this boundary mic is more versatile than its predecessors.  This allows for placement in a broad range of areas – all you need is some double stick tape and the possibilities appear to be endless.  Receptive to phantom power, the CUB-01 works seamlessly with wireless systems.  This makes audio recoding as simple as placing the CUB and a transmitter in your chosen location and monitoring the results.

With a redesign of the cardioid capsule that, in the past, has been largely responsible for the bad reputations of boundary mics (gaunt audio quality), Sanken has made the CUB-01 a truly capable mic for film and video production.  The CUB-01 is now adept at capturing the robust audio quality we’ve come to expect from professional audio devices.
