It's slim, compact design conveniently allows on-camera mounting without obstructing the camera's view. The CS-1's cardioid polar pattern and off-axis rejection combine to deliver focused, targeted signal while eliminating noise and ambiance at the perimeter of the capsule.

A high SPL rating of 137dB allows reproduction of transient signals with no distortion, even at close proximity.
