CM2208, CM2204 specifications

Peavey, a name synonymous with quality in the audio equipment world, has made significant strides in the realm of professional microphones with its CM2204 and CM2208 models. These microphones have become fixtures in live sound, broadcasting, and studio environments, delivering exceptional performance and reliability.

The CM2204 is characterized by its dynamic design, making it an ideal choice for capturing high-SPL (Sound Pressure Level) sources without undesirable distortion. This microphone features a cardioid pickup pattern, which effectively isolates the sound source while minimizing background noise and feedback. The CM2204's rugged construction is built to withstand the rigors of live performances, ensuring that it remains functional in various settings.

On the other hand, the CM2208 is a condenser microphone that brings a different set of features to the table. It is designed to provide a broader frequency response, capturing subtle nuances of vocals and instruments with remarkable clarity. The CM2208 also employs a cardioid polar pattern, making it suitable for both studio applications and live situations where feedback rejection is paramount. Its low self-noise and high sensitivity allow for detailed sound capture, making it an excellent choice for more delicate sound sources.

Both models are equipped with Peavey's proprietary technologies, which include advanced shock-mounting systems. This technology helps to minimize handling noise and vibrations, allowing for clean and professional recordings. Additional features such as high-frequency boost switches and low-frequency roll-off options on the CM2208 offer further versatility, allowing users to tailor the microphone’s response to specific applications.

Another notable characteristic shared by both microphones is their compatibility with various equipment types. They work seamlessly with a range of mixers and amplifiers, making them versatile tools for any audio engineer. Moreover, the CM2204 and CM2208 are designed to operate across a wide frequency range, ensuring they can handle a variety of sound sources, from powerful rock vocals to subtle acoustic instruments.

In conclusion, the Peavey CM2204 and CM2208 microphones are exemplary products that cater to the needs of modern audio professionals. With their robust design, innovative technologies, and outstanding sound quality, these microphones continue to be reliable choices for anyone seeking exceptional performance in diverse audio environments. Whether in the studio or on stage, Peavey's commitment to quality is evident in these dynamic and condenser microphones, making them valuable assets in any sound setup.
