Sanken CUB-01 Minature Boundary Mic

Sanken CUB-01 Boundary Microphone for hire from Mad Dogs Television

In a nutshell

Most boundary microphones exhibit similar sound characteristics, often described as “thin,” “solid,” and “metallic.” Sanken has addressed this issue with the CUB-01, leveraging advanced technology and a unique square-shaped cardioid capsule. This proprietary design significantly expands the diaphragm’s effective area, producing a boundary microphone with rich, natural sound and a flat response down to 70Hz.

The technical lowdown

Introducing a revolutionary design, the Sanken CUB-01 overcomes the limitations of previous boundary microphones, delivering incredibly rich and full-bodied sound in a compact size. Despite its small dimensions (1.26″ diameter, 0.5″ height) and lightweight build (only 1.6 oz), it outperforms much larger boundary microphones in sound quality.

The CUB-01 is perfect for various settings such as film and television production, both on set and on location, conference rooms, or podiums. It’s especially effective in automobiles, making it a favorite among production professionals.
