Designed as a workhorse mic for vocal and instrument recording as well as streaming applications, the black Yamaha YCM01 is a studio microphone with an XLR output and a cardioid polar pattern, which helps to focus audio capture on the sound source in front of the mic, picking up less background sound from the rear and sides.

The side-address mic offers a traditional 3-pin XLR output for use with a wide variety of professional audio equipment and a 48V phantom power source is required for operation. The microphone features an electret condenser capsule, which provides a 30 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response and can handle SPLs up to 130 dB. A stand adapter and pouch are included.

Q: 10. How close do you have to be to the mic? How much noise does the mic isolate without additional isolation (foam, etc.)?

A: This is a condenser mic so it is very sensitive unlike a dynamic mic. If we a talking about recording a vocalist in the studio about 6 inches is the norm. If you are dealing with a pro they will already have good mic technique and the louder they sing they will step further back from the mic. The same is true in the other direction. If they want to get a more intimate sound to their voice they will move closer to the mic and sing much softer. By moving closer they will take advantage of what is called the Proximity Effect. Proximity Effect is the closer you are to the mic the more bass response you will get. The mic will not isolate anything for you. The mic will pick up things you will not be able to hear like air conditioning rumble, the singers shoes if they move around while singing etc. The most cost effective way of dealing with this is with an acoustic shield. Like the sE Electronics RF-X Reflection Filter which will stop the reflections in the room and give you a much more intimate sound to the vocal and help keep some of the air born noise in the room out of the mic B&H # SESEERFX.
