“I want the piano to really pop out from the stereo speakers as a three-dimensional living thing.”

Pianist Scott Davis recording with CU-44X MK II microphones

“The French horn section especially benefits from the properties of the Sanken Chromatic mics.”

John Newton recording with CO-100K microphones

“The clarity and musicality of the 100k’s gave Joe Kraemer’s score great transparency, which allowed the music to emotionally enhance the film to its fullest.”

Bruce Botnick recorded the orchestral score of Tom Cruise’s “Jack Reacher” with five Sanken CO-100K microphones

“My main orchestral sound came from 6 Sanken CO-100Ks, an LCR tree above the conductor, and 3 rear. These mics have a phenomenal response and a texture in the top that captures that high air in a warm way.”

“We loved the sound of acoustic guitar with the CU-55, and because they are small and side-address, they work very favorably when getting them into tight spots.”

Rob Jaczko, Chair of the Music Production and Engineering Department at Boston’s Berklee College of Music.

“I’ve been messing around with the CU-55 for about a year and just fell in love with it. I’ve used it on a lot of different instruments, the mic is fairly crisp, but not unnaturally so.”

Grammy Award-winning producer/engineer Chuck Ainlay recording JD & The Straight Shot.

“The CU-55s are small and unobtrusive, but they have a wonderful low frequency response while still providing super quick transients. You get a lot of air without harshness, and a really nice deep low end.”

“The CUW-180s perform wonderfully anywhere and everywhere, I use them as a pair over the stage for ambience. Eight feet up or so, at the lip of the stage angled at 45 degrees. I also use them for ensemble sections, as a section mic it is fabulous.”

Grammy and Emmy Award-winner Rob Macomber, Chief Engineer of the Music Studios at Jazz at Lincoln Center
