"The C98 is a cardioid condenser gooseneck microphone, specifically designed for the capture and reinforcement of drum set and other acoustic percussive instruments. The cardioid polar pattern provides off-axis rejection crucial for on-stage clarity. The streamlined gooseneck design and included drum rim mount provide maximum flexibility for mounting in tight spaces and eliminates the need for mic stands. Low noise and high SPL provide clean and clear sound reproduction."
