Teenage Engineering CM-15 Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

The Teenage Engineering CM-15 Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone is yet another notable piece of high-quality kit from the Swedish sonic-tech-wizards behind the OP-1 Field synthesizer and TX-6 Field Mixer. The tech specs and abilities of this l’il fella run DEEP. 

The CM-15 is the most recent addition to Teenage Engineering’s “Field” ecosystem featuring extraordinary portability and connectivity. The mini XLR jack, 3.5mm jack, and USB-C ports can all be used simultaneously and in numerous ways. You can even use it as an easy, class-compliant USB-C audio interface—with built-in preamp. 

The minuscule, hyper-portable enclosure belies the massive functionality and sound fidelity all crammed under the hood. The high quality, supercardioid 1” large diaphragm capsule is manufactured by the mic-masters at Peluso Microphones and the ESS Sabre ES9822Q PRO ADC preserves all the precise detail of whatever you’re recording. 

The rechargeable battery lasts ten hours for untethered portability wherever your wanderlust and recording needs may take you. In the studio or at home? You can also power the CM-15 via 48V phantom power or USB-C. 

Included with the Teenage Engineering CM-15 is a bevy of useful tools and accessories including standard 1/4" and 3/8” stand adapters, mini-XLR to standard XLR cable, USB-C cable, and a protective travel pouch. 

The Teenage Engineering CM-15 Condenser Microphone is a multi-use, indispensable tool for recording vocals or instruments, attaching to a camera for synced audio, interviews, podcasts, or just field production when inspiration strikes—no matter where that may be.
