Yamaha YCM01 Condenser microphones have become a staple of most studio and broadcasting environments around the world for good reason. Their ability to capture the most subtle nuances of vocal and instrument performances has made them the preferred choice for a majority of studio and broadcast professionals. The YCM01 is a studio-quality condenser microphone that adopts a cardioid polar pattern for more focused sensitivity, making it ideal for a broad range of applications, from live streaming or gaming voice chat, to remote meetings, and of course, music production. Offered in both black and white versions to adapt to your preferred streaming or recording environment, the stylish iconic design of the YCM01 will add a new level of professionalism to your creative content. The cardioid polar pattern of our condenser microphone ensures the highest sensitivity to sound directly in front of your mic while substantially reducing ambient noise from the rear and sides. This allows the YCM01 to capture the distinct tones and timbre of your voice or instrument with stunning accuracy, giving your streaming audio an added quality and performance advantage.
