So I’m a TE Lifer, or would like to be, though my wallet is starting to cry. This is as much as my OP-1 Field -100, and I would love a true TE Mic, but this thing is… :scream: Tula at least is closer to a reasonable price range, and Cuckoo approved.

It has a built-in battery but no recording function. However, it could be considered inexpensive for a Peluso microphone.

I am absolutely getting this, I can’t wait. Exactly what I was hoping for in a form factor this size. I wonder if they’re going to implement anything unique when using it with a TX-6 and/or OP-1f.

Wish it was stereo. The built in mic is good enough for mono, imo, I use an external H1n for stereo.

Surely you‘d buy two of them then :laughing:

lol
I know you were joking, but hypothetically if we skip over the budgetary constraints - two is a lot bulkier and XY alignment for stereo use would be awkward to setup.

Has anyone purchased it yet? Any reviews or feedback?
I’m eyeballing it…but lack of reviews is a bit

My bad…
Guess I’m just crazy in luv with my brand new OP1f.

And looking for portable options, I came across the Tula mic. Definitely not the same beasts. But still…

Can’t wait for the CM15 to get out.
4 weeks, am I right?

Any real use updates on the cm-15? I have one on pre-order and am curious how it is being received by early testers. Went with the mic over the tp-7 for my money at this time.

Here ya go!

Love this mic - had it about a week and it’s absolutely great for stacking vocals. I can loop on the Op1 - f and move the mic around and get really cool choral effects. I have the Tula and it’s a major step up. Super clear and focused - really recommend it to anyone on the fence.

The versatility, sound quality and freedom the CM-15 gives you make it well worth a closer look, In short i love the mic.

me too. it’s an excellent mic and has enabled me to capture so much more music (in excellent quality) in my life.

i find the gain a little low generally but i’m sure with phantom power (which i’ve not tried) it would be like any other flagship condenser mic. i play mostly jazz guitar and i need to keep it on gain setting 2 which i didn’t expect but thats not a bad thing.

Just chiming in here with more praise for the cm 15. I have a peluso 414 and with a little eqing I can get the cm 15 to sound very close to it.

I wish it had a low cut filter on it. Using it with the little kickstand picks up too much low end through the body of the mic, but it’s so convenient to just sit it on top of my piano to record with.

Variable polar patterns would also be nice. The multiple simultaneous outputs is a unique feature and very useful if you have a need for it.

i love the idea of just plopping it on top of a piano. can you share with us how you place and orient it? do you use the built in stand or the mini tripod thing? thanks!

i have a small 63 key upright that sits against a wall. i just put the cm-15 on top with the built in kickstand and either point it at the wall or towards me, depending if i want more of the room in the recording or not.

i usually plug it into the tp-7 via usb to record practice sessions and make sure i don’t lose any ideas i come up with.

or i’ll put my macbook on the piano, plug the cm-15 into it, and record straight into ableton live. it’s just so convenient and i like not having to think too hard.
