YCM705 Condenser Microphone

At the heart of the YCM705 is a custom-designed 1-inch large-diaphragm condenser capsule with a gold-coated diaphragm. The dual-diaphragm capsule enhances the acoustic response characteristics, letting you fully capture the sound without losing the delicate breathy sounds in emotional vocals or the subtle finger noises in playing stringed instruments. And thanks to its cardioid directivity, capturing the intended sound is straightforward — making it easy to achieve professional-quality recordings. This helps deliver “True Sound” for accurately expressing and reproducing the emotions that musicians, content creators and producers put into every recording.

The YCM705 has a built-in pad switch, for decreasing the input signal in three steps: OFF, -10 dB, and -20 dB. Set the switch depending on the recording target, and this versatile mic lets you record not only vocals and acoustic guitars, but also various high-SPL instruments with powerful transients, such as drums, wind or brass instruments and pianos.

Also built into the YCM705 is a low-cut filter that instantly enables clearer recording at the source by reducing unwanted environmental sounds, such as the rumbling of an air conditioner or other low-end noises. When recording several instruments individually to different tracks, this helps to eliminate or tweak unwanted, clashing low-frequency bands, making the final mixing process easier.
